Netflix has posted a clip from the Obama episode, which is embedded in this Deadline article.
http://deadline.com/2018/01/david-lettermans-netflix-series-first-look-barack-obama-dad-moves-prince-1202240144/ Someone on this board mentioned a while back about a verbal crutch that Dave leaned on in his later years: repeating a guest's answer back as if to buy time for his brain to come up with something. He does it twice in this clip alone. And it's one thing when you've got a Paul who can cover a little bit and not make it so obvious, but even Obama inadvertently catches him on it the second time. And it hit me after watching it that Dave (70-year-old Dave) is attempting to host a single-guest interview show for a full hour. Yes, this ain't rocket science or brain surgery. And Dave has done really well in the drips and drops we've seen him in since 2015. But I have to admit that there's a part of me that is hesitant now that this may not turn out as well as I'd hoped.
