David Letterman reportedly made a sexist joke at a taping of "Late Show" Monday night that left many audience members stunned, the New York Post reports.
Letterman took questions from his audience and one college staffer reportedly asked the talk show host what advice he would give this year's graduates.
A source told the Post Letterman responded, "Treat a lady like a wh-re, and a wh-re like a lady." When the 68-year-old's joke was met with stone silence, Letterman quickly added they should "eat a lot of salad" and be nice to others, the source told The Post.
"I turned to my wife and was, like, 'What?' " the source told the New York Post. "It was really the first joke of the evening, and it seemed like an odd choice."
However, a source close to the show told the paper that the joke "got a big laugh."
A spokesman for Letterman told the Post, "I can't confirm the accuracy of that" and declined to comment further.

On the day he admitted to his audience that he had sexual relationships with staffers, his audience erupted in applause.
Given the liberal libertine bent of his audience, I find it hard to believe there was stunned silence or disapproval of this. This is the same guy who jokes about Sarah Palin’s daughters getting knocked up, and cheered by his fans for so doing.
Is this even a dirty joke? I don’t get it.
That could be perhaps the worse joke I have ever heard in my life. His audience should have responded, 10 lbs of makeup and he still looks like a clown.
His joke was from a more old fashioned world view. I can imagine Jerry Lewis saying this today, in full knowledge of offending people. A watered down version of this concept exists today, in the popular belief that a good wife should be a refined lady in the tea room and an uninhibited harlot in the bedroom.
But wait, wasn’t it just last year that girls were staging little marches against Slut-Shaming? Yes. Yes it was. So these same people are now pretending to be ‘shocked, shocked that there is degenerate vulgar behavior going on here.
It's just Ole Dave's contribution to the War On Women.
Back in his NBC “Late Night” days, he was funny and his show was enjoyable.
But liberalism, like a dread cancer, devolved Dave to what he is today: angry, unfunny and burnt out.
And for my money, there hasn’t been “must watch” late night tv since Johnny Carson retired. Not that I have cable or satellite anymore.
It is an observation on what works with females.
That's a really misogynistic view of women. I certainly don't treat the women in my life like that.
” A watered down version of this concept exists today, in the popular belief that a good wife should be a refined lady in the tea room and an uninhibited harlot in the bedroom.”
Here is the entire concept as I heard it from a Vietnamese female:
“A man should look for a female who is a lady in public, a hostess in the living room, a cook in the kitchen, a mother in the nursery, the boss of the house and a **ore in bed.....all in the same female.”
There is nothing wrong with treating whores like ladies, it leads to good treatment and loyalty from them, and if you want to score with ladies and beauties, then you have to know how to reach them and penetrate through their front.
Gee.....don’t think I’ve heard that one. Ever.
He has made a career out of treating whores like ladies.
“It is an observation on what works with females.”
I read that it was a quote from someone well-known, and from back in the 1930s.
Last funny thing I saw him do was the Velcro Suit. I stopped watching shortly thereafter as he was getting to bitter.

That is how Letterman lives his life. Whom he marries, he trashes, dumps, and ignores. His hardworking TV show staff, however, he treats like they live to give him bl** jo*s.
