This just in from The Home Office. Last night, in a stranger than life on camera appearance, David Letterman admitted to his audience he had sex with his female employees. Not one. Presumably not two. He was forced to come clean following an extortion attempt by a male producer who threatened to write a movie or book about his claim. The producer has since been charged with grand larceny.
I heard chuckling from the studio audience who may have thought this was a joke. I mean, I am a firm believer that humor and power (and really good champagne) are aphrodisiacs. Yet, I am a bit skeptical about the sexual draw of the gap toothed Letterman. Who would have thunk? This guy married his longtime girlfriend after siring a son in midlife. He has suffered from heart ailments which, from the warning voice in drug ads would preclude him from taking Viagara or Cialis. I would have thought he "might have been advised by his doctor he might not be healthy enough for sexual activity." At least sexual activity with most of his employees!
In an era of sexual harassment lawsuits, I am frankly surprised Dave would mix business with pleasure, especially with a multitude of underlings. Didn't he think they might talk by the water cooler?
The top story on my local 11:00 news featured comments by the manager of The Comedy Store and Jeannie Wolf, TV gossip columnist, who concurred that this scandal would bounce off Dave. Fodder for other late night hosts.
Oh, what I would give to be a fly on the wall at The Late Show's office Christmas party!
