"I think we’re in a pretty good place with it now. It is an emotional process, for sure. Right now everything is really calm. But we can definitely feel episodes coming, and we know how to handle them."
Kanye West opens up about his experience with bipolar disorder and takes a swipe at TMZ in the process in a teaser trailer for Season 2 of David Letterman’s Netflix talk show, “My Next Guest Needs No Introduction.”
“I think he’s in good hands, and I think he’s so artistically smart,” Letterman told the network’s Willie Geist. However, he added, “I knew that depending on the day, you weren’t quite sure which path you were going to be on.”
David Letterman picked names straight from the A-list for the next season of My Next Guest Needs No Introduction.
The television icon will sit down with Kanye West, Tiffany Haddish, Ellen DeGeneres, Melinda Gates and Formula 1 racer Lewis Hamilton for his Netflix interview show.
On Wednesday, the streaming giant dropped the trailer for season 2 of My Next Guest Needs No Introduction, available May 31. In the clip, Letterman discusses mental health with West after visiting his fashion warehouse.
“When you’re bipolar you have the potential to ramp up and it can take you to a point where you start acting erratic — as TMZ would put it,” said West.
Other notable guests on upcoming episodes of Letterman’s show include Ellen DeGeneres, Tiffany Haddish, Melinda Gates and Lewis Hamilton, a Formula 1 racer. For him, being on medication is not really an option, because it just changes who he is. Traveling a lot does set it off, so he doesn’t travel as much as he used to. But honestly, I never want to speak for him, because I am not in his mind.’
