David Letterman joins Bono and The Edge in a new streaming documentary about U2.

The droll, bushy-bearded American comedian is an odd choice to be master of ceremonies for this Disney+ project.

Director Morgan Neville does a fabulous job using new interviews and melding them with old performances.

But Letterman not only distracts, he gets in the way.
