According to Extra Entertainment News David Letterman is the most enduring star that has hosted the late night talk show since 1993. Last Thursday David Letterman confessed to a studio audience, and many viewers that were watching his show that he was the victim of a would-be multimillion-dollar extortion plot that was perpetrated by a CBS colleague. Letterman then also admitted that he had sex with many female co-workers.
Once he announced this, it stunned the nation. The New York Post, and The New York Daily News made sure that the story was across the front page in their Friday editions once the story was released. The CBS network will definitely benefit from this story, and from this publicity blitz. This scandal may also help CBS with the ratings for the fall. David Letterman actually admitted and confessed right on his own show what he did. This gave the viewers an incentive to watch the show more often. Currently at this time David Letterman and Conan O’Brien are having a battle, regarding the ratings for the late night talk show. So with this episode that Letterman caused will help CBS because in the entertainment industry people love to hear about sex scandals. Sex scandals produce a lot of publicity and that’s what the viewers want, and love.
In Celebrity News David Letterman recently married his longtime girlfriend, Regina Lasko. They began dating in 1986, that’s 23 years. I am surprised she stuck around that long for him to marry her. Most women don’t wait past 2 years. Regina Lasko is a former “Late Show” staffer. The couple have a son named Harry.
