Will Smith to appear on David Letterman's Netflix talk show...but he won't be talking about "the slap"

Will Smith has been named on the list of guests for the new season of David Letterman's Netflix show My Next Guest Needs No Introduction -- but he won't be talking about his infamous slap.

ABC Audio has confirmed that the segment with Will was recorded in January -- obviously, long before Smith's infamous Oscars-night outburst.

Letterman's other fourth-season interviews -- with Ryan Reynolds, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Kevin Durant, Billie Eilish and Cardi B -- were all filmed before March.

Season four of My Next Guest Needs No Introduction debuts on May 20.
