anyone watching Letterman? It's pretty weird.

[mucifer]

He just came clean with the story.

One of the more awkward moments of tv that I have seen.

1. I read that's what he was going to do tonight

but I'm sitting that one out.

Any details? No, I didn't think so.

8. Details

An NYPD source has told RadarOnline.com that the suspect under arrest in the Letterman extortion case is Robert Halderman, a CBS producer.

RadarOnline.com has also learned that the alleged extortionist lived with the woman who David was involved with.

The affair happened a long time ago, before his son Harry was born, and before he got married, but he was living with his wife to be at the time.

Halderman needed money police say and decided to target Letterman.

9. Wow..That guy who should be a whole lot smarter

is in a world of hurt.

Thanks,kskiska.

11. Agree

A check??? Why not singles in a suitcase?

12. The reporting keeps saying "extramarital" but if it was before he was married then that isn't

accurate.

[flvegan]

2. Yeah, but he was classy about it.

Preemptive damage control. He knows what he's doing.

3. His funniest monolog in years. I wish I'd taped it.

I was howling.

[johnnie]

4. It was awkward

And I also give props to Dave for doing it.

[aquart]

5. Awkward? Uh, no. Smooth as silk.

7. It sucks if they occurred after he'd committed to his wife, but I think it was

classy to handle it this way. You fuck up, you 'fess up, you take responsibility, unlike so many others...

10. According to what's on post # 8..

this one anyway was before he was married and before his son was born.

[omega minimo]

13. He's been with his wife for decades before they were married.

14. I'm glad to hear that for his family's sake. nt
