The show began in 2018 and has three seasons with celebrity guests, ranging from actors, rappers, politicians and comedians.   

Insightful and inspiring, the guests talk about their early life, influences, setbacks and more. They voice their concerns and take strong socio-political and socio-economic stands. Letterman has had 18 guests, including Barrack Obama, Jay-Z, Shah Rukh Khan, Lizzo, Malala Yousafzai etc.

Special guests on the show include Kevin hart, Eric Bana, Allison Brie, Billy Eichner and more. Impromptu cameos and silly internet videos are in perfect tandem with cheesy cold-opens, making it one of the best talk shows on Netflix.  

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee

The various guests on the show include Larry David, Ricky Gervais, Alec Baldwin, David Letterman, Chris Rock and others. It deserves extra praise for the wide array of guests and the various insightful and hilarious exchanges. 

Norm MacDonald has a Show

With guests like David Spade, Drew Barrymore. Jane Fonda, Michael Keaton, David Letterman, this 2018 10-episode show sees MacDonald and his sidekick Adam Eget lead a provocative and insightful talk show, talking about career, lives and more.

The 36 episodes comprise talks with various Hollywood talents like Ethan Hawke, Julia Louis-Dreyfous, Clint Eastwood, Alfonso Cuaron etc. The episodes also provide a great insight into filmmaking and the interviews serve as a small and provocative film school.
