David Letterman
David Letterman has a new hosting gig – of sorts.
The
veteran late-night comedian will in 2016 journey to India to examine
how that nation is trying to bring solar power to its entire population
within the next decade. It’s a far cry from rattling off the popular Top
Ten Lists and Stupid Pet Tricks that were so much a part of his more
than three decades of wee-hours television for CBS and NBC. But it’s a
chance for Letterman to give voice to the issue of climate change on a
new, albeit temporary, home: National Geographic Channel.
David Gelber and Joel Bach, the series’ producers, said they thought
they noticed Letterman become more animated on “The Late Show” when
discussion of climate change came to the fore, and decided to reach out
to him. “You could just tell. Whenever they would have a climate
discussion, he would really kind of perk up,” noted Bach, in an
interview. “And it turns out he does, he cares about it a lot,” he said.
“He’s definitely invested in this issue.”
