Letterman reveals extortion details full clip

[SuperEltomato]

The crowd thinks it's a long joke until the end where he starts getting serious. But really they're clapping because they love Letterman and don't like people f@$% with them. But actually he expresses it with humor... "Would it be embarrassing if it were made public? I think it would be... for the women!" I mean that's a punchline, but at the very end he becomes totally sincere and thanks everyone for allowing him to come clean about something that's totally PRIVATE in the first place!

[drewnod]

"I HAVE had sex with women that work for me"

Audience-HAHAHAH!!! clap clap clap!!

Bullshit, no audience in the world would react like that. At least half of them had to be extras, or there was some post production editing. They go immediately from slightly shocked and disgusted, to joyful. If you like his show, that's fine, but what a fucking creep he is. He only admits what he did at the very end, so people can laugh the whole way through. did it at the end of the end of the episode, too.

[Seref2009]

fuck you fagots

[palsaradise]

all the clapping in this vid reminds me of that section with Rodney Dangerfield in Natural Born Killers. Just bizarre.

[guddaysunshine]

Interesting song choice by Paul ,

Rolling Stones " (Love it's a ) Bitch "

[contact1araya]

Like I said, its non of my business who he screws and if he gets blakmailed, but a lot of people that like him dont think like I do...so in conclusion he only did this to cover his ass in front of the viewer

[contact1araya]

I dont care about what he did. I like his show and his jokes and to me he should have remained like a fictional character...but once a public person mixes his real life with his performances it lowers the value of his work. All this afair doesnt concern the viewer and him putting it out in such a clever Letterman Monologue only shows how he has to manipulate people in order to avoid scorn for his actions.

[theleetlolboy]

i hope she was hot atleast

[guddaysunshine]

That hinky guy knew terrible things !

[marciodpsh]

Letterman and his public - they deserve each other.

[Ecksntrick8]

You must be a Letterman fan. Or maybe just a pussy. I'm of course smarter and all that than you. Jealous much?

[Ecksntrick8]

I found an idiot!

[jahguy7]

This crowd had some really strange reactions to this story.... it is a little unsettling how much of this they think is funny.

[omarmiguel]

That's because I believe the crowed was a recording to make the viewers lighten up!! ;)

[dionstrezlecki]

yes agree wtf mindless idiots

[Ecksntrick8]

Thay stopped laughing when they knew he was serious. Yeah, I know.

[mandrewtrow]

@jahguy7 there very sadistic !

[betsyd58]

The bottom line is that he was in a long term relationship with the woman he married and cheated on her. If he did nothing wrong and felt no shame, this would not be a surprise to his wife. He abused his power, cheated on his girlfriend and lied to her for years. That makes him an ass. Stings, don't it Dave???

[betsyd58]

Excellent. Well written. Seriously you are a fool if you think that his girlfriend was not destroyed by this...he said so himself. The bottom line is that when you cause pain to the person you love you have done the wrong thing. if you can't see that....weel forget it.

[chesterdouglas]

I couldn't care less about this alleged "scandal." I'm sure that Dave has a lot of very long, very serious conversations waiting for him at home, but aside from his family, this is really no one else's business. People can make jokes - I'm sure that eventually Letterman himself will joke about it - but, let's not get too worked up about this.

[zreaves]

This man is so brilliant! I think he handled it the best way possible. Why not be open and honest about it?

[michaelpkaras]

i love this guy. hes straight up. why cant he have sex with who he wants to? ive read on CNN that this predated his marriage, so whats the big deal?

[betsyd58]

Because his "girlfrined" of 20 years thought they were in an exclusive relationship and that makes him a liar.

[geir44]

OMG. Sexual harassment by Letterman.

Have sex with Mr. Late night or there will be new interns coming in.

[guddaysunshine]

Dave reminds me of Richard Pryor,

talking about burning up like a match.

[silverhoneycat]

Blackmailing is disgusting, if someone you know is doing something immoral with a consenting adult- that's their business. Don't try to make a buck off it cause then it makes it worse than the consentual adult act that is nobody else's business to begin with. I hope he rots

As for David, I hope he makes a top ten out of this, and a cute couple of Staffers do the reading. He's got a good sense of humor, I could see it happening.

[thebards]

I want to thank Bill Clinton and Dave Letterman for stopping the media from focusing on sexual harassment in the workplace. I know... I know... some idiots think its not ok because it isn't fair for the other people on staff when a co-worker is having sex with the boss. I love the "new democrats". :-)

[MehdiWarrior]

obviously they are laughing they think its a joke look at the way he is explaining it you cant blame them for laughing David Letterman is funny and sarcastic nobody takes him serious u cant base our society on this show and the audience actions

[pukabowers]

you lost clinton? really?

[gtr0517]

REPLACE HIM.

[FLIGHTconchords713]

People need to lighten up. This type of stuff happens all the time to non-celebs, but we only take the time to ridicule the one's that we know. It takes a lot of balls to do what Dave did, and I'm sure he was on the edge of his seat trying to do this. He had only been married since March, and yeah I guess it doesn't mean its right, but you can tell he only has good intentions and the way he handled the situation was responsible. He has owned up to his actions. He better not lose his job.

[killbill112358]

he def. is smart, and I'm glad he has the balls to admit it live. And he's still funny .....

I mean EVERYONE knows they do it. You'd have to be really naive if you think that this doesn't happen in TV/Hollywood

[SkoviMan]

Isn't it bizarre the audience laughing and clapping as he was telling this serious story?

[FlexWheeler2nd]

Yes! Talking about what's "creepy" is the audience clapping after he said he's had sex w/women that work on the show! I just don't get it - what's so funny or worth clapping for?! He's married and is a dad . . . is our society so screwed in its thinking that everything's just a joke now?

[crumblingimages]

I don't know why he even chose to do this (Tell his audience). Maybe there's more to the story.

[anarchy3E]

what an amateur

how old was the blackmailer? 12? what an idiot, i bet they ll laugh with his "flawless" plan in jail

[applepie246]

So, cut to the chase....

When can we expect this movie???

[fuen009]

his life, his actions, his consequences. . . who am i to judge him

[KimnFranklin]

Funny the folks condemning the blackmailer...poor dave....well, old Dave has been having sex with woman while married to the mother of his young child. Disgusting - should be fired. And he was doing all this while totally trashing Palin and family.....interesting. He's a bum.

[HerbertJablonski]

well the "APPLAUSE" sign was on.

[canto39]

People are idiots for laughing and clapping when he said he admitted it.

[mm14nysm]

Extortion is Wrong but Dave opened himself up fo it by having sex with people that work for him WHICH IS VERY WRONG. If your a boss YOU JUST DONT DO THAT. It creates instability in the work Place, it creates a hostile environment & it is extreemly unprofessinal. Dave should have known better than to do that. he's a married Man. Does the sanctity of Marriage mean anything anymore? What he did was morraly wrong but doesent surprise me coming from him. He's an Idiot.

[WatershipCrown]

man people are getting very very evil...dave handled that guy perfectly

[steo05]

wat a legend fuck who ever say that he was wrong wats wrong with having sex like bilions of people do it every day get over it like

[mm14nysm]

Steo05 - There is nothing wrong with having sex. but it matters WHO you have sex with. Somone of lettermans position and fame (A MARRIED MAN mind you) should not have been having sex with people he works with - that's just Classless and stupid and it opened himself up to extortion as it did in this case. He should think twice about his own life before he rips on People like Sarah Palin publicly. Somone who FARRR exceeds dave in the decency dept.

[pukabowers]

Its his job to rip public figures like Sarah Palin. He can have sex with who ever he likes. Your moral bench mark does not have to be the standard imposed on any one else

[essbeep]

Exactly!

[jacobi289]

that was beautifully handled

[jamorales77]

wow first to see it
