Anyone watch? Class act... BO clearly loves his family. So refreshing.

Its not on my Netflix. Where are you?
eta...I found it but it should have popped up as something new. I shouldn’t have to go searching for it.

I love Letterman so I watched it, I found his beard very distracting and honestly it was a pleasant feel good kind of interview but it left me wanting more grit

I loved listening to him again. I could pretend for a few seconds that he was still President Obama, our current leader. I echo Letterman’s remarks of respect for the man.

Our internet sucks. Especially on weekends. So I had to watch in the wee hours. Glad I did. Two thumbs up from me. DD20 video called me and wanted to watch 'together'. Couldn't because she was watching at a time when our internet is awful. I asked her later what she thought. "Loved." was her reply.

I really enjoyed their conversation and it did make me nostalgic for both Letterman and Obama! Miss them both.

I watched it tonight, and loved it. Whatever your politics, you surely cannot fail to see the difference between an intelligent, thoughtful and caring president and well, the current occupant.  |

Complete and coherent sentences and everything! Who would have foreseen we would miss that so much?! Not to mention the unnecessary personal attacks and crude name-calling that is now commonplace out of the new occupant's mouth. |

I just finished watching and really enjoyed it. I generally don't like watching people who constantly have a "shtick" and that often put me off watching Letterman (same deal with Oprah) but I always kind of knew he was thoughtful and intelligent because we got glimpses of it, but then he'd go back into his routine. So I really enjoyed just seeing Dave Letterman being himself with the pressure of to constantly try to make an audience laugh. I think I enjoyed hearing about him as much as Obama. It felt like a genuine conversation and I liked hearing both sides. Of course it highlighted what an illiterate clown replaced Obama without them needing it. I also liked that it wasn't focused on bitching about Trump...I'm sure they could have easily done that for hours (and probably did when the cameras were off) but I think that would have been the wrong way to go with a show like this. Compare Obama talking about himself saying "I have some talent" but a lot of it was luck and serendipity, to Trump "I'm a very stable genius" tweets...how far that office has fallen and how much respect has been lost in one year  I'll be watching some more of these and I hope they continue in the same vibe with Letterman being more laid back. |

Man oh man, the way he talks....please, just make him President again. YES I was feeling like that, too. I was feeling homesick and I didn't know whether to laugh in parts or cry for missing that steadiness and INTELLIGENCE. |

I watched and thought it was lovely. I was struck by the extreme level of regard Letterman clearly has for President Obama. And the walk across the bridge with Representative Lewis.
I enjoyed it so much.
I miss President Obama to the extent that it feels painful...
