David Letterman is set to interview Matt Damon, Julia Roberts, Jimmy Kimmel and Alex Honnold in Season 7 of his Emmy-nominated show 'My Next Guest Needs No Introduction With David Letterman', reported Variety.
The sixth season of the show is currently up for an Emmy for outstanding hosted nonfiction series or special.
Netflix shared the announcement on their Instagram handle today. Sharing glimpses from the shoot, the makers wrote, "Matt Damon, Julia Roberts, Jimmy Kimmel and Alex Honnold will spotlight their lives and careers in Season 7 of MY NEXT GUEST NEEDS NO INTRODUCTION WITH DAVID LETTERMAN, premiering later this year."

Jordan, Miley Cyrus, Caitlin Clark, Billie Eilish and Adam Sandler.
The series has received eight Emmy nominations across its six seasons, winning one in 2024.
Executive producers of the series are Tom Keaney and Mary Barclay for Worldwide Pants; and Justin Wilkes, Michael Steed, Isabel Richardson and Yolanda T. Cochran for Jax Media/Imagine Entertainment.
The producers are Tommy Alter, John Nemeth and Hunter Speese for Jax Media/Imagine Entertainment. The show is produced by Jax Media/Imagine Entertainment and Worldwide Pants, Inc.
According to Variety, Damon is deep into his press tour for the soon-to-be awards-heavy 'The Odyssey,' while Roberts is not currently promoting a project. Kimmel is on summer break between seasons of 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!,' and surely the two outspoken late-night hosts will discuss CBS' cancellation of 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.'
Matt Damon was last seen in the film The Odyssey, which was directed by Christopher Nolan. It also starred Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Anne Hathaway and others in the lead roles.

Jimmy Kimmel and Letterman together? That's going to be a fun conversation! They're both so witty. I hope they discuss the late-night show drama, that would be spicy. 🔥
Honestly, I wish Letterman would interview some Indian celebrities too. We have so many fascinating personalities like Aamir Khan or Shah Rukh Khan. That would be a crossover event! 🇮🇳
Matt Damon in The Odyssey was phenomenal! Christopher Nolan really knows how to make a movie. Excited to hear him talk about working with such a star-studded cast. 👏
Letterman's show is one of the few talk shows that actually feels intellectual. The episodes with Barack Obama and Jay-Z were incredible. This new season looks promising, but I just wish they'd tone down the promotion and focus more on the actual conversations.
Julia Roberts is my all-time favorite! She has such a warm presence on screen. I hope Letterman brings out some personal stories from her. Also, the fact that they're premiering this later this year is something to look forward to! ✨
Interesting lineup. Letterman always gets the best out of his guests. The Alex Honnold episode should be incredible too—that guy is a legend in climbing. Although, I do have to say, the constant back-and-forth about CBS cancellations gets a bit predictable.
