Letterman

[Luke]

Sad. Sad sad.

He died?

He died?

Nope.

Letterman had some affairs with fellow employees. Someone tried to extort Letterman for two million dollars. Letterman let the cat out of the bag and gets yet another loony arrested.

I don't feel bad for Letterman as far as the affairs are concerned, but he sure does seem to be cursed with crazy people trying to do him harm. This is, what, number four?

Letterman is awesome, and if he had an affair he must have had a damn good reason. Ten reasons, in fact. All of them funny.-Brian Lynch

I do not condone what he was doing, but he was absolutely brilliant in how he handled it. He took the power away from the blackmailler and did so in a way that half of the audience thought he was joking. Simply brilliant.

well he got married this year so would that be considered a "damn good reason"? (he's certainly not the type to wait till he get's bored of marriage before having an affair) It may be a funny reason to us, i'm not sure his recently wed wife is laughing though

what intrigues me with this story is "affairs" as in not only just one... how horny is this guy? the obvious questions are : how many were there, how old were they and if they were younger than 30 (as I suspect they were probably cute interns or something) why the hell do they sleep with a 60+ year old man and not with me (and I dont care how funny he is, he's 60 for crying out loud!)?

His, or his writers, execution was brilliant. Throughout what is guessed to be decades of infidelity with multiple partners, Dave made other people the bad guys. Although he just got married this year, he's been in the same relationship with his wife since 1986.

It is sad that we are so willing to accept this type of behavior. No one is shocked. Shit, no one is even surprised. It's almost as if everyone is saying, "A multimillionaire cheating on his wife with his employees? Well, of course he is going to!". I don't know, I'm might be in the minority on this, but I think a man should be judged on how he handles the power he has, not on how much power he has.

Agreed, he has abused his position for a long time. As always, cheaters deserve to be caught. I would have liked to been there when he explained it to his wife, and when he explains it to his young kid.

Hes got money. He gets sex.

Big whoop.

i did think how he said it last night was funny as hell. and Kim Kardashian was pretty pretty fine last night.
