I am shocked and very disappointed in David Letterman. I never knew he was like this. Makes you wonder if this is the reason why he got a divorce and never bothered to marry his long time companion who gave birth to his son.
I think David knows how the media is going to have a field day with this. He is now going to be the butt of Jay Leno's jokes and not to mention, it may have a strain on his marriage ( I understand he married his companion in a quiet ceremony during the month of March this year). I used to think highly of David Letterman but now, I feel disgusted and bitterly disappointed. I hope this affects the ratings of his show leading it to be cancelled. I hate it when men use their positions to exploit women and get away with it!
Well I was dead wrong folks! Ever since David Letterman spoke about his affairs and the extortion, his ratings are so high that all the other talk shows are struggling to keep up! Did anyone see how he hinted about his wife being devastated by his affairs?
I have four questions for everyone: Do you think that David Letterman decided to reveal his affairs because it would increase his ratings? What do you think about his so called "apology?' Do you think he is genuinely sorry for what he has done and hopes to work on rebuilding his marriage? Hypothetically speaking, if you were David Letterman's wife, would you file for a divorce after hearing about his affairs or would you "weather the storm" and stand by your man?

David Letterman (Hover)
I think he made this public so that executive could not extort money from him. I agree that his current wife knew about all of this and she still married him. I think what ever type of relationship they have is strong enough to weather this. He did say this was all in the past and he has not done this since marriage. Maybe he has turned a corner? I do not know about his ratings as I do not watch him.
David Letterman is pretty funny but I think everyone forgets its not really his jokes but his staff's jokes. I guess he probably approves them but its not like he sits down each night thinking up jokes for the next day.
