Famous Last Words has a unique and poignant concept: it features in-depth interviews with cultural icons, broadcast only after their death. The interviewees speak candidly about their lives, careers, and legacies, knowing that their words will only become public after they are gone. Filming takes place in an intimate, crew-less setting; cameras are controlled remotely, allowing the guest to feel completely free to speak their unvarnished truth. At the end of each episode, the interviewer leaves the room, and the guest is given the opportunity to leave a final, unfiltered message to the world or loved ones directly into the camera.
