DAVID LETTERMAN: “I’VE GOT MY WORK CUT OUT FOR ME”

During today’s (October 4) taping of CBS’ Late Show, David Letterman apologized to his staff and wife for the his past sexual relationships with staffers, the subject of an extortion attempt that led to last week’s arrest of a CBS News producer.

An excerpt:

“I’m terribly sorry that I put the staff in that position. Inadvertently, I just wasn’t thinking ahead. And, moreover, the staff here has been wonderfully supportive to me, not just through this furor, but through all the years that we’ve been on television and especially all the years here at CBS, so, again, my thanks to the staff for, once again, putting up with something stupid I’ve gotten myself involved in.

“Now the other thing is my wife, Regina. She has been horribly hurt by my behaviour, and when something happens like that, if you hurt a person and it’s your responsibility, you try to fix it. And at that point, there’s only two things that can happen: either you’re going to make some progress and get it fixed, or you’re going to fall short and perhaps not get it fixed, so let me tell you folks, I got my work cut out for me.”

    Wow, he’s doing an amazing job of handling this. And, sorry Dave, but it’s Regina who has her work cut out for her. I wish them both good luck.

    What she should do is simply divorce him. Once a cheater always a cheater. I mean it’s up to her if she wants to stay with him. My guess is that people know their partners after 20 years. She knew he was having affairs, it’s just now it’s public. It makes me wonder too how much people love their children to cause familial grief jsut for a quick lay

    The shiiiit has not even hit the fan.
    Sexual harrassment.
    Unfair to other employees, if overlooked for promotions.

    I wonder if allegations will come out for the other late night talk show hosts as well.

    why are Americans so concerned with who famous people sleep with. MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS. Are you married to him ? why would you even care ? are you own lives so bland and shallow ? Impeaching Clinton and replacing him with Bush just showed how uptight and sexually neurotic Americans are…… seriously. GET A LIFE.

    anonymous,
    it’s because letterman has made himself so concerned with other people’s sex lives, and because everyone knows, YOU DON’T FUCK YOUR SUBORDINATES.
    anyways, it’s cute that you get to prejudge and stereotype against all americans since we’re not a homogeneous set of ethnic peoples, whereby your comments could be construed as racist…but what piece of shit worthless country are you from and why aren’t you speaking german?
    or are you just at epcot center?
