Nice! After David Byrne's sometimes cringe-worthy hosting of Sessions at West 54th, I usually reserve my viewing attention for performances by my favorite artists. But Elvis is a glib conversationalist and seems to be friends with everyone - so would having his wife on the 1st episode be so wrong?

I agree. He was on Letterman talking about it last night. They've done 13 shows with interesting guests - he's interviewing & performing.

I really enjoyed his interview with Bill Clinton....I learned some things I did not know about Bill and his musical history!

I agree. I thought it was a great interview. Staying on the topic of music was such a great jumping off point to hear the former president talk about things in a completely different way. And Elvis was cranking some songs at points, including a spirited verison of "Mystery Train.''
