Also joining the roster are Lizzo, Robert Downey Jr and Dave Chappelle, as revealed by the show's latest trailer.
In the video teaser, snippets from the interview in front of a live studio audience have been previewed, including one from Kardashian West's segment, in which the mother-of-four is seen breaking down in tears.
'No no no no, are you alright?' the veteran broadcaster asks
'I don't know why I'm crying, I've talked about this before,' Kardashian West replies, through tears.
Ahead of the episodes' release, some reports have clarified why Kardashian West became emotional, explaining that she was recalling her terrifying experience during Paris Fashion Week in 2016, when she was robbed at gunpoint.
'He grabbed me and I was wearing a robe and I wasn't wearing anything under it,' Kardashian West said before breaking down in tears, according to Entertainment Tonight.
'He grabbed me and pulled me towards him but I wasn't wearing anything underneath. So I was like, "OK, this is the time I'm going to get raped. Just deal, it's gonna happen. Just prepare yourself." So I did... But then he tied me up with handcuffs and zip ties and duct tape.'
The mother of four said she was flooded with thoughts about her eldest sister Kourtney, who she believed in the moment of her attack, would come home from an evening out to discover her dead.
'I saw him have a gun... And I'm like, "OK, this is it." And I just kept on thinking about Kourtney. I kept on thinking, "She's gonna come home and I'm going to be dead in the room. She's gonna be traumatised for the rest of her life if she sees me."... I thought that was my fate.'
Kardashian West explained that since the incident she suffered from anxiety and became understandably paranoid about her family's and her own safety: 'I was just really scared of everything. I can't sleep at night unless there are half a dozen security guards at my house and that has become my reality, and that's OK.'
Elsewhere in the episode, Kardashian West also opens up about her childhood, including the People Vs OJ Simpson trial, where her late father Robert Kardashian represented the former footballer when he was accused of murdering his wife Nicole Brown Simpson, her mother's best friend saying it 'tore [her] family apart'. The soon-to-be 40-year-old also spoke about her relationship with her stepfather, Caitlyn Jenner, forging a legal career and when a sex tape with her ex-boyfriend Ray J was released in 2007, according to E! news.
In a behind-the-scenes image released by Netflix, we can see the beauty entrepreneur was supported by her husband Kanye West, who previously appeared on the show too, and her mother Kris Jenner and sisters Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian backstage.
Elsewhere in the trailer, Lizzo gives an empowering message about beauty and self-acceptance, while also teaching Letterman the basics of her trademark flute, Downey Jr and Letterman hang out with alpacas and Chappelle discusses the recent death of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement in front of a rousing yet socially distanced and masked audience.
We can't wait to watch all of them, to be honest. Season three arrives on Netflix October 21st.
