Hey guys, Willie Geist here with another episode of the Sunday Sit Down Podcast.

And I'm going to take the liberty of calling this a very special episode of the Sunday Sit Down Podcast

because my guest is an American icon, a guy you haven't heard much from or seen much of

since he left late night, four years ago. The legend David Letterman.

David is getting ready for the second season of his Netflix show called My Next Gas Needs No Introduction.

You might remember in season one, he interviewed people like President Obama, Jay-Z, Tina Fey, Malala,

George Clooney, among others. Another season coming now with guests like Kanye, Ellen,

Melinda Gates, Tiffany Haddish, where some that he's announced. So the way this happened,

an interview for the second season we'd love to do it with you. You know what? I said we can find

probably some time in our schedule for David Letterman for God's sakes.

So what we did was figure out what Dave wanted to do and what Dave wanted to do was to go fly fishing.

We went up in Westchester County, New York about an hour outside New York City north of Manhattan.

And we first went to the great bait shop, the Bedford Sportsman in Cross River, New York,

where my buddies Charlie and Todd, who also happened to be Dave's buddies, we share a bait shop, Dave and I do.

We went, got baited up to go fly fishing. Then we went and we stood in a stream for about an hour

and fished and fished and fished and I'm just going to go ahead and tell you right now we didn't catch a damn thing.

Not a single fish, but when you got the waiters on, you're standing in the stream, shooting it with David Letterman.

It's kind of okay that you're not catching fish. Once we finished, we just had a couple of Adirondack chairs

to paint the picture for you right next to the stream. You might hear the stream in the background

when we're talking during our conversation. You'll also hear Dave timing again, laughing, but then a little frustrated

because behind me, fish are jumping, brown trout, surfacing and going back under, wondering where were all these fish
