Veteran US talk show host David Letterman has interviewed almost all prominent celebrities and leaders of the world but his latest is unique in more ways than one.&nbsp; 
 
In October, the host travelled to Kyiv to interview Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the area which Letterman claimed as the 'safest part of the city' - a subway platform 300 feet (90 meters) below ground.&nbsp; 
 
Zelensky was the latest guest on Letterman's popular Netflix show, 'My Next Guest'.&nbsp;

A small audience watched in the semi-dark as subway trains rumbled past. At one point a siren went off. Letterman looked alarmed, but no one else reacted. What did that indicate, he asked.

"Unfortunately it means that war has become a habit," said Zelenskiy. "Many Ukrainians have gotten used to it... To me sirens are an indicator that war is not over... this is a reminder that somewhere, someone is giving up their life for yours."

In February, Russia sent troops into Ukraine in what it called a "special operation" to degrade its southern neighbour's military capabilities and root out people it calls dangerous nationalists. Ukraine and the West say the war is an unprovoked act of aggression.

For the special episode, Letterman also spoke with Ukraine's railways head and even visited a comedy club. He discussed with Zelenskiy, a former comedian, the importance of humour in dark times, and chatted with him about his family. Zelensky said he could only breathe because he was speaking to his wife and children.&nbsp;

"Children know much more about the war than we do. My son is 9 years old. He knows the names of all the weapons... Each of us makes sacrifices for our country. Our children sacrificed their childhood," he said. 
 
Letterman's Netflix show 'My Next Guest Needs No Introduction' has in the past featured prominent celebrities including former US President Barack Obama, rapper Jay-Z, Shah Rukh Khan, Ellen Degeners and singer Billie Eilish. 
'My Next Guest... with David Letterman and Volodymyr Zelenskiy' is streaming on Netflix.

Shah Rukh Khan to appear on David Letterman's chat show on Netflix

It’s very rare for rap star Jay-Z to open up about personal issues. The last time he did was when he spoke about his equation with singer-wife Beyonce as the <a href="http://www.wionews.com/world/entertainment-jay-z-had-to-fight-to-save-his-marriage-with-beyonce-31062">controversy around their breakup-divorce</a> started doing the rounds in the wake of him <a href="http://www.wionews.com/world/entertainment-listening-to-beyonces-music-was-very-very-uncomfortable-jay-z-on-infidelity-25478">cheating on her.&nbsp;</a>

Now that the two have moved past it, Jay-Z who appeared on David Letterman’s “My Next Guest Needs No Introduction” spoke about his mother coming out of the closet and telling him that she loves someone. He told Letterman that it prompted him to write a song the next day -- Smile.&nbsp;

On the work front, Jay-Z released an album <a href="http://www.wionews.com/photos/jay-z-confesses-to-cheating-in-new-album-444-318#photo-50889">4:44 </a>and is collaborating with Beyonce for a<a href="http://www.wionews.com/world/beyonce-and-jay-z-announce-the-on-the-run-ii-tour-35561"> joint tour</a> that will see them and their kids open the stadium tour on June 6 in the Welsh city of Cardiff. The 36-date show will have them travel across Europe, including a Bastille Day show at the Stade de France in Paris, before a North American leg that closes on October 2 in Vancouver.

While announcing the tour, Jay-Z and Beyonce dubbed the tour "OTR II," a reference to their first co-headlining "On the Run" tour in 2014 which grossed some $100 million.

Beyonce is set to return to the stage in April to headline Coachella, the biggest-name US music festival, in her first performance since giving birth to the couple's second and third children.
