The 75-year-old Letterman flew to Poland, took a five-hour van ride to the Ukrainian border and spent 17 hours in a small sleeper car during an overnight rail ride to Kyiv to pull the interview off.
The first interview David Letterman conducted as part of a special episode of Netflix series"My Next Guest" was with a young woman making the arduous journey from Poland into Kyiv."I'm from Indiana," he said."Where are you from?"The woman inquired as to Letterman's reason for visiting. He was there to interview President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and wondered if she had anything to say to him.Letterman, 75, has nothing left to prove.
In voiceover, Letterman explains the capital city was hit by missile strikes just a week prior to his October arrival. Bombed out tanks and armored cars are shown in Kyiv's central square. The interview itself is shot in"the safest part of the city" — an active subway platform 300 feet below ground.The sound quality wasn't great, as trains buzzed through every few minutes — often during Letterman's questions or Zelenskyy's answers. It was by no means acoustically equivalent to a soundstage.
Letterman explained that, since he became a father, his first thoughts upon waking up every morning are on the safety of his son. He asked Zelenskyy how a parent navigates that instinct during wartime.
