David Letterman is back with My Next Guest Needs No Introduction With David Letterman Season 5, bringing his acclaimed Netflix talk show My Next Guest Needs No Introduction for two special episodes featuring Miley Cyrus and Charles Barkley.

A Season of Star Power
Although it’s unconventional to call two episodes a full season, these episodes promise to deliver the depth and entertainment fans expect. NBA legend Charles Barkley quips in the trailer, “When you start taking it too serious, you need to take a look at yourself,” highlighting the light-hearted yet profound nature of the show.
Miley Cyrus: From “Hannah Montana” to Global Icon
In her episode, Miley Cyrus shares an anecdote about her early career, likely referring to her breakout role in Hannah Montana. “They did shoot a pilot with another girl,” Cyrus says, smiling.
“They weren’t relating with her. I love them for that.” This glimpse into her journey from Disney star to music powerhouse promises an engaging conversation. Since her Hannah Montana days, Cyrus has released eight studio albums, including Bangerz (2013) and Plastic Hearts (2020).
Her latest album, Endless Summer Vacation (2023), features the Grammy-winning single “Flowers” and her recent collaborations, including a cover of “Psycho Killer” on Everyone’s Getting Involved: A Tribute to Talking Heads’ Stop Making Sense.
