When in January 2018 the first round of episodes of “The Next Guest Doesn’t Need to Be Introduced,” the interview program of the mythical talk show host David Letterman, was a clear statement of intent. This round will not include light-hearted 9-minute interviews with passing stars who just want to finish promoting their new movie / series / album / affair and move on to the next interview. Letterman, accompanied by an impressive Santa Claus beard, built his show on both entertaining and interesting in-depth interviews, and there the show set the tone – just people who really need not be introduced. And his first guest was Barack Obama.
Now Netflix has released the fourth season of the interview show, and the lineup looks brilliant – Billy Aylish, Cardi B, Ryan Reynolds, Kevin Durant and Julia Louis-Dreyfus are going to visit Letterman’s armchair (she looks comfortable) and open up to him about intimate, and silly, issues. , From their lives. Beyond that, Letterman tends in every episode to visit the interviewees’ home, or at least their home environment, and experience some of their lives – for example, karting with Aylish, making pizza with Reynolds and how not, playing basketball against Durant.

But the most interesting guest this season was honored because of the affair he was involved in just two months ago – Will Smith, and the hand that slapped Chris Rock. The interview with Letterman took place before the fateful Oscar ceremony, but manages to touch on quite a few relevant events from Smith’s life – his father’s violence, modern masculinity, his family relationship and also, in an extraordinary moment, managed to predict what was to come. During one of the moments of the interview Smith, who recounted his Ivasca attempts (a ceremonial hallucinatory drug), shared that he saw how all his money, homes, career and life were taken from him. Given what has happened since the interview, this is definitely a fascinating prediction and very worth watching the interview with great attention, because go know what other signs were there.
The fourth season of “The Next Guest Doesn’t Have to Be Introduced – With David Letterman” is fully available on the Netflix streaming service
