This morning, I did something I've never done in my life,' Letterman told viewers. 'I had to go downtown and testify before a grand jury.
'This whole thing has been quite scary," he said. 'I had to tell them how I was disturbed by this. I was scared for my family. I felt menaced by this man.'
Then, Letterman added, 'I had to tell them all the creepy things I had done.'
Three weeks ago, Letterman said he got in his car early in the morning and found a package with a letter saying 'I know that you do some terrible, terrible things and that I can prove you do some terrible things.'
Letterman added: “Sure enough, contained in the package was stuff to prove that I do terrible things.”
Amid laughter, applause and exclamations from an increasingly stunned audience, Letterman continued: 'The creepy stuff was that I have had sex with women who work for me on this show.
'My response to that is, yes I have,' Letterman said. David Letterman David Letterman
Mea culpa: Letterman received a package and a letter that the writer said was proof he had done some terrible things and demanded $2million
Unable to resist a joke, he said: 'I know what you’re saying... I’ll be darned, Dave had sex! Would it be embarrassing if it were made public? Perhaps it would, perhaps it would, and especially for the women.
'I was worried for myself, I was worried for my family, ' he said. 'I felt menaced by this, and I had to tell them all of the creepy things that I had done.

Dostanie ostro chyba żeby zdarzył się cud typu "uznanie społeczeństwa dla szczerego człowieka" [ mało prawdopodobne ale możliwe ].
Widać skalkulował że szantaż który zaczyna się od 2 milionów i tak w końcu doprowadzi do ujawnienia sprawy jak już jego zgolą komuś kto zapłaci za "newsa" a to że "długo płacił" postwiłoby go na zupełnie przegranej pozycji "w domniemaniach" zupełnie bez cienia nadziei.

jakos zupelnie sie nie dziwie, ze Pan tak to akurat tak opisal. Zaryzykowalbym twierdzenie ze jestem w stanie przewidziec z gory 90% Panskich reakcji. Brak przewidywalnosci nie jest Panskim problemem...

A to jest opinia o Lettermanie czy o "pewnym społeczeństwie" i o skłonności "pewnych mediów" do robienia "nagonek"?

*Na razie* nie słyszałem o sugestii *wymuszania* seksu bo na razie słyszałem *tylko* "wersje Lettermana" Letterman jest chyba na tyle "ważny" żeby solidna sfora dziennikarzy rzuciła się na szukanie jakiejś (byłej?) współpracownicy która tak powie.
Jeśli któraś tak powie (a najlepiej kilka) to dopiero powinien mieć całkowicie przerąbane.

Sadze, ze Letterman jest skonczony. Inaczej stalby sie 'komikiem', ktory stal sie 'laughing stock' wszystkich innych komikow.
Jesli on sam opisuje to co robil jako "creepy stuff" to nawet ten jego sex najwidoczniej nie byl normalny. W sumie z facetem jest wyraznie cos zle. Analogia jest tu niejaki Peevy Herrman -- wystepowal w programach TV dla dzieci az go zatrzymano kolo kina obnazajacego sie spoza dlugiego plaszcza do przechodniow. Jako aktor skonczyl sie natychmiast.

*Poczekaj* na wersję inne "wersja własna Lettermana". Raczej nie będziesz czekał zbyt długo wiec wykaż tę odrobinę cierpliwości :-)
Na razie to w którejś polskiej TV podali że mu oglądalność podskoczyła o 40% (chwilowo). To na dłuższą metę ostro nie oberwie tą sprawą to wariant możliwy ale z pewnością nie najbardziej prawdopodobny :-)

In a few days, David Letterman will emerge unscathed from the hullabaloo surrounding the bombshell about that extortion plot against him.
His fans don't care about his indiscretions, and the notoriety will probably make his show more popular than ever. And what do you bet the blackmailer will join the "Fire Dave" protesters as regulars in Dave's monologue?
No, that's not how it's going to be at all. This is the beginning of the end for Letterman. He was funny once, but in recent years his on-air persona has gone from goofy to eccentric to, as he put it Thursday night, "creepy."
More revelations will leak out about young women in his office being cherry-picked for a role on Dave's casting couch, and as they do, disgusted viewers will start switching to Conan O'Brien.
No, that's too pessimistic a view. Dave will be chastened by this episode, as he was by his heart bypass, as he was by 9/11, as he was when he learned that the woman breaking into his home was suffering from schizophrenia (which is when he stopped making jokes about her).
He knows he needs to make amends with some of his viewers. He'll apologize for his lack of workplace ethics. He'll ease off the jokes about public figures' sex lives. And he won't make light of blackmail on his show.
It's too early to tell how this episode will end, though any of the above scenarios strikes me as plausible. One thing is certain: Letterman's confession on Thursday's "Late Show" provided us with an instant cultural Rorschach test.
In the 12 hours following the broadcast, hundreds of readers posted comments to my Facebook, Twitter and TV Barn pages. Across the Internet, thousands of people vented about the story involving Dave, the blackmailer - allegedly a longtime CBS News producer named Joe Halderman - and a woman they both reportedly shared a bed with.
Let's start with the weird way Letterman broke the news to his audience.
During the monologue, Letterman told several jokes about Roman Polanski and disgraced South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, and the audience ate them up - having no idea, of course, that the person on stage was about to enshrine himself in their rarefied company.
It's possible that Dave knew all along that he was going to play his confession for laughs - not unlike his retelling of the story of driving to the county courthouse in Montana earlier this year and finally getting married to his longtime girlfriend, Regina Lasko.
When the show aired, many of those watching at home hadn't heard the news, so they laughed right along with the audience as Dave started sharing the tawdry details of what he called the "creepy stuff" he had done. Many in the audience were still laughing even after he revealed he was the target of a $2 million extortion plot by a man who threatened to expose his sexual relationships with "Late Show" employees. And when Dave admitted to said dalliances - "Yes, I have," the host said - the audience laughed and then clapped.
"With Letterman, one is never sure if the story is true," tweeted ourpaldave. "I wasn't sure until the end, so I tittered with the audience."
But on TVBarn.com, E. O'Neal said Dave's fans are way too easy to please. "They're supposed to laugh every time he pauses. It's a conditioned reflex that shows they're in on the joke. Last night was especially creepy."
"He certainly flipped the script in TV confessions," Scott Tobias tweeted. "My first reaction was, 'Huh. He did not do what you're supposed to do in situations like this.' And that's kinda remarkable."

Late Night Show Lettermana 'robil bokami' w ratings. W sumie, wszystko zalezy od firm, ktore umieszczaje w czasie Late Night swoje ogloszenia. Moj zaklad jest, ze sie Letterman skonczyl. Takie czasy: jedni bardzo wielcy nagle umieraja a inni topia sie w kontrowersjach i skandalach.

40 % (chwilowo) powiadasz? hehehehe
Being involved in an extortion plot with the added sizzle of a a sex scandal has been bad for David Letterman's home life, but it's been very good for his business.
An estimated 5.7 million people watched Letterman's CBS "Late Show" Monday night, when he addressed the scandal for the second time, and apologized to his wife and co-workers.
The audience for Monday's show was up 19% over the season average of 4.8 million viewers, and up 36% over last Monday's 4.2 million.
It was also "Late Show's" third most-watched telecast this season.
For comparison, NBC's "Tonight Show" averaged 2.3 million viewers.

Sęk w tym że ja widzę różnicę między "prognozami/ekstrapolacjami oglądalności" na miesiące i na lata :-)

Skandal podniosl 'ratings' ale juz pojawiaja sie pytania na temat samego CBS, ze ma burdel 'w domu'.. Nie wiem czy CBS nie pozbedzie sie skandalicznego komedianta aby ktos im spraw sadowych nie wytoczyl. Po wtore, co najwazniejsze, czy firmy beda chcialy podpierac sie Lettermanem dla swoich ogloszen.
