I thought Paul looked and sounded great last night...he was very witty with Dave and it was fun to hear his stories

I thought so too. It was nice that Dave devoted the entire show to Paul. I liked the new song they did after 'Get Back'. And when Dave asked Paul why, after they had been trying for nearly 30 years to get him on the show, he hadn't accepted. "Well Dave, I just don't like the show"

And Bruce Willis' top 10 list: How has Bruce Willis been spending his summer?

[Carek1230]

What's with the President of the US appearing on a late night talk show? He's got more important things to be doing!

 

[Lila64]

Maybe he's trying to convey his message to the American people

 

[LMP]

FDR had better things to do than his radio show, dammit.

 

[BoMac]

Maybe he's trying to convey his message to the American people

Your "logic" has no place in this thread, or anywhere on the Internets, for that matter.

[MrPryck2U]

Surprised no one mentioned this yet.

Dave has admitted to having been the victim of an attempted extortion. He admitted to having a sexual relationship with two members of his staff in the past and that the extortion was for 2 million dollars to be paid to keep this info quiet. Dave gave this person a phony 2 million dollar check and the police arrested the person afterward.

 

[Lila64]

Where did you hear this? Links?

 

[coolian2]

ha, what odds - i was just reading an article about this.

David Letterman admits affairs | Stuff.co.nz

 

[Lila64]

Just watched Letterman talk about what happened on his show.

 

[Jive Turkey]

Where did you hear this? Links?

YouTube - David Letterman explains his blackmail ordeal on Thursdays Show, Oct.1,2009

 

[MrPryck2U]

Since the show is taped in the late afternoon, news of Letterman's extortion was already put on Newsday and other news outlets before the show aired later that night.

So, Dave cheated on the woman who would eventually become the mother of his child and also his wife.

 

[Pearl]

Here's a link that has an intern Letterman allegedly slept with.

David Letterman's $2m blackmailer 'lived with woman chat show host had affair with' | Mail Online


I find it hypocritical of him to make jokes about Sarah Palin's daughters fooling around with older men, and here's Letterman himself fooling around with his staff, maybe even young interns.

I'm not a Palin fan for that record, but I do find it sleazy for Letterman to do this.

 

[Jive Turkey]

Its his job to make people laugh with jokes about celebrities and politicians and whoever else. Theres a big difference between a few one liners and publicly speaking out about another persons conduct. I dont find what he did to be hypocritical at all. I dont even think what he did should be that big of a deal to anyone but his family. The man is human and he made mistakes. The bigger idiot is the producer who attempted to blackmail him. The guy makes $20 million a year and he decided to commit a felony in an attempt to get an extra $2million? retard

exactly - while i find the whole affair thing to be pretty reprehensible, i'd think that if it was letterman or if it was my next door neighbour. but it's not actually my business.

 

[deep]

I remember watching Letterman hit on the interns and staffers of his show.

I always thought it was harmless.

His behavior is something that would cost many people their job. This is a classic example of sexual harassment. These women's livelihoods depended on his 'good will'.
I imagine he may have paid some 'hush money' to settle a few lawsuits along the way.

 

[lazarus]

You're assuming a lot there.

Letterman clearly isn't interested in airing out his dirty laundry, and just wanted to state the bare facts for his viewers.

If his wife chooses to leave him, she will, and would likely take a lot of money with her. And maybe they've already discussed it. Maybe she already knew before this happened.

Ultimately, it's no one's business but theirs. This isn't exactly out of the ordinary behavior, and there are plenty of other things to get riled up about.

And if there was an incident of harassment, it probably would have come out by now.

Unless you folks feel he should be fired, publicly humiliated, flogged, etc.

 

[Pearl]

Unless you folks feel he should be fired, publicly humiliated, flogged, etc.

I don't feel he should get any of the above. Even if he deserved to be fired, CBS won't because Letterman's a money maker for them.

 

[No spoken words]

I don't know nearly enough details to make a judgement.

It sounds bad, it likely is bad, but I lack the information to form a solid opinion.

 

[Jive Turkey]

I imagine he may have paid some 'hush money' to settle a few lawsuits along the way.

c'mon man. You have no basis for that

 

[No spoken words]

JT, that really never stops him.

 

[deep]

I think some people may not understand that just by having sex with his underlings he becomes a prime target for a lawsuit.

What is Sexual Harassment?

Sexual harassment at work occurs whenever unwelcome conduct on the basis of gender affects a person's job, It is defined by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature when:
submission to the conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual’s employment, or
submission to or rejection of the conduct by an individual is used as a ,basis for employment decisions affecting such individual, or
the conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment.
Sexual Harassment Fact Sheet

When one of these women don't get the promotion or pay raise after they have stopped sleeping with him, that is when the problem begins

when one that is sleeping with him gets the promotion
the others who did not respond to his friendly advances make a claim

Companies have clear policies about management/ supervisors sleeping with subordinates, lawsuits with or without merit do succeed.

 

[Lila64]

You have no way of knowing if this was consenual or not. Yes, I understand he's the boss & the celebrity here, but you can't make judgement calls without knowing all the facts, and we never will.
