"It's
thrilling
to
have
him
do
this
—
we're
beyond
excited.
The
reason
why
Letterman's
part
of
this
is
that
we
just
noticed
that
he
seemed
to
perk
up
when
this
issue
came
across
his
lap.
We
reached
out
to
him
to
see
if
he'd
want
to
be
part
of
this,
and
he
said,
'Absolutely.' He
said
(that
climate
change
is)
something
he
does
think
about
a
lot."
"He's
never
been
to
India,
and
he's
really
excited
to
go," Gelber
said
of
Letterman.
"Dave
will
be
a
terrific
correspondent
for
us.
We're
very
comfortable
having
him
with
the
Prime
Minister
of
India
—
I'm
not
sure
there
are
that
many
people
we'd
be
comfortable
setting
up
in
that
kind
of
role.
He's
a
wonderful
interviewer."
The
series'
new

premiere
