David Letterman’s acclaimed interview series, My Next Guest Needs No Introduction, is set to return for its sixth season on December 16, featuring an exciting lineup of guests. The newly released trailer showcases Letterman engaging in entertaining activities with stars, including throwing darts with Michael B. Jordan and hitting home runs with Jason Bateman, as well as a quirky conversation with internet sensation MrBeast, who humorously hints at bizarre topics like human sacrifices.
The trailer highlights the lively spirit of Letterman’s interactions with various figures from film, television, and the digital world. During a segment at Dodger Stadium, Bateman quips, “I feel like a semi-man right now,” while Letterman amusingly insists to Michael B. Jordan that he has never played video games, only to be corrected by Jordan, who points out that Pac-Man definitely qualifies.
Earlier this year, Netflix announced the renewal of My Next Guest for not only a sixth season but also a seventh. The previous season welcomed high-profile guests such as Miley Cyrus, Charles Barkley, and Caitlin Clark, alongside a roster of notable figures in earlier episodes, including Barack Obama, Tina Fey, and Billie Eilish. The series has earned critical acclaim, with Letterman receiving Emmy nominations and even winning one for the episode featuring John Mulaney as part of the series, recognized as Outstanding Hosted Nonfiction Series or Special in 2024.
Additionally, a special one-off episode featuring Adam Sandler premiered on December 1, where Letterman caught up with the comedian backstage during his tour to discuss stand-up, film, and music. Reflecting on his career’s current phase, Letterman shared insights in a past GQ interview, expressing his surprise at still being active in the industry and dismissing the notion of retirement, declaring it as “nonsense” and emphasizing the importance of staying engaged.
With a blend of humor, star power, and Letterman’s signature interviewing style, the upcoming season promises to deliver compelling conversations and entertaining moments, further solidifying its place in the realm of must-watch talk shows.
