It was quite macabre to hear the audience laughing at his admissions of immorality. Did they really think it was funny or did they think he was stringing them along?
Since it has been disclosed that recipients of Letterman’s sexual prowess were also apparently recipients of favored treatment on the set, a sexual discrimination charge would not surprise me in the least.
I think he’s in deep macaca.
And how much of this did the execs at CBS know?
“Did they really think it was funny or did they think he was stringing them along?”
In that particular setting, I give the audience the benefit of the doubt. They were expecting humor and were likely anticipating a punch line.
The laughing audience was disturbing. But then, maybe it takes that kind of audience to sit through a Letterman show. I doubt most of them are people I’d want sitting next to me at a dinner party.
