David Letterman talks to NBC’s Willie Geist about his newly announced interview with Kanye West for the second season of his Netflix series, “My Next Guest Needs No Introduction” saying, “Kanye West. When I was done with Kanye, I kind of felt like I wanted– you want to kind of father him and I think he’s in good hands and I think he’s so artistically smart.”
Letterman added about the interview with West, “I was frightened honestly because I had only met him a couple of times on the show and I knew that depending on the day, you weren’t quite sure which path you were going to be on… he was working on what he calls his Sunday service and I didn’t know what to expect…and we went to it early in a sound studio in Burbank and it was remarkably spiritual…it was quite moving.”
NBC’s “Sunday TODAY With Willie Geist” will air on May 19, 2019.
