Kim Kardashian breaks down in tears with David Letterman in season 3 trailer for My Next Guest

David Letterman is poised to return to Netflix later this month with all-new episodes of his hit show My Next Guest Needs No Introduction.

Kim Kardashian, Lizzo, Dave Chappelle and Robert Downey Jr. all star in the season three trailer for the long-form interview series which dropped on Tuesday.

And, during the 73-year-old television veteran’s one-on-one chat with Kardashian, things take an emotional turn as the reality star mogul is seen breaking down in tears.

Despite the promise of deep conversations on series topics with his guests this season, the trailer is mostly upbeat and fun. 

It begins with Letterman being schooled on how to snap a selfie with Kim Kardashian, the woman who literally wrote the book on selfies.  

‘Do you know what AirDrop is?’ the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star asks the bewildered host.

Later, during their formal sit down in front of a studio audience, things are much more somber between the two. 

Kim, wearing a sunshine yellow ruched turtleneck, is seen starting to break down into tears and quickly tries to wipe them away before they smudge her flawless makeup.

‘No, no, no, no, no, no,’ Letterman is heard saying as he tries to soothe her. ‘We alright?’

‘I don’t know why I’m crying, I’ve talked about this before,’ Kim responds through her tears. 

The trailer gives nothing away about the topic that brought the mother of four to tears and moves on to teasing what is to come with the next guest.  

David explains in the clip that he’s ‘gratified’ to come back for an all-new season of his show with new guests because, he says, ‘the person in that chair is so much smarter than I am.’ 

Letterman is certainly getting schooled this year by musical and pop culture sensation Lizzo who shepherds ‘Dave-z’, as she calls him, through his first rap recording session and even tries to teach him how to play the flute. 

‘Lizzo, I’ve never done this,’ he admits before clearing his throat. Sadly the clip cuts before David actually starts to rap. 

In their interview, Lizzo opens up about her body positivity. ‘I know that I am beautiful and successful so HAH,’ she quips making Letterman laugh. 

So far, there are only four guests who have been revealed for the new season. In addition to Lizzo and Kim Kardashian, Letterman will sit down with Robert Downey Jr. and, one who rarely gives interviews, Dave Chappelle.

Letterman and Robert Downey Jr. appear to have the most lighthearted interview of the season at an alpaca farm. 

‘I don’t even do interviews, if it wasn’t you I wouldn’t even want to say anything,’ Chappelle says in the clip.

Notoriously reclusive, the stand-up comedian opens up in his episode about the death of George Floyd. 

‘I was shocked that nobody ever talked about what it feels like to watch a man get murdered that way by a man in a police uniform,’ he said. ‘But I don’t want retroactive justice, I don’t want you to get them after I’m dead. I want you to stop it.’ 

Chappelle has his own multi-million dollar relationship with the streaming giant having inked a $60 million deal for five stand-up specials in 2016 and earlier this year he released 8:46 which focused on Floyd’s murder.  

My Next Guest premiered in 2018 and has received multiple Emmy nominations. 

Previously guests include Barack Obama, George Clooney, Malala Yousafzai, Kanye West and Ellen DeGeneres. Season three streams October 21 on Netflix.
