Contents 1 Production 1.1 Development 1.2 Music 2 Episodes 3 Reception 4 References 5 External links Production Development On August 8, 2017, it was announced that Netflix had ordered a six - episode interview series starring David Letterman. Each hourlong episode will feature Letterman conducting a longform conversation with a single guest and in - the - field segments, in which he will explore topics on his own. On January 5, 2018, Netflix released further information about the series. It was announced that Letterman 's guests in the first season would include Barack Obama, George Clooney, Malala Yousafzai, Jay - Z, Tina Fey, and Howard Stern. It was also announced that the series would premiere on January 12, 2018 with Letterman 's interview with Obama. This interview was Obama 's first since leaving office. Music The show 's theme song and bridging music were written and recorded by Letterman 's long - time bandleader, Paul Shaffer. Soon after it was announced publicly that Netflix had given the series an order, Shaffer received a phone call from Letterman asking him to work on the show. Soon after, Shaffer began to receive cuts of episodes from the first season and he started to put music in afterwards where the director thought it was needed. In developing the sound of the show 's music, Shaffer initially looked to Letterman for guidance. Finding none, he remembered he and Letterman 's shared love for the sort of music produced at the Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in Sheffield, Alabama describing it as `` the honesty you hear, the southern soul feeling. '' The score initially included drums but the show 's producers and director thought that the music should `` feel like it 's Dave 's old friend Paul playing. '' so it was ultimately stripped down to solely include piano, organ, and bass guitar.
