Letterman Apologizes To Wife On Monday’s Show

Late-night host says Regina Lasko has been ‘horribly hurt’ by his behavior

NEW YORK - David Letterman, days after revealing on air that he’d been sexually involved with women from his television program, apologized to his wife on Monday’s “Late Show,” saying she had been “horribly hurt by my behavior.”

The late-night host, building on Thursday’s startling confessional in a potential seminal moment in his storied career, vowed to repair his relationship with his wife, Regina Lasko, whom he married in March after a years-long courtship.

“Let me tell you folks, I got my work cut out for me,” he said, according to an early transcript of the program released by CBS.

Monday’s show was the first Letterman had taped since Thursday, when he disclosed that he had had sexual relationships with women who worked for him and said that he had been the victim of a $2 million blackmail threat. During the hour, he also apologized to his staff.

“Inadvertently, I just wasn’t thinking ahead,” Letterman said. “My thanks to the staff for, once again, putting up with something stupid I’ve gotten myself involved in.”

Letterman, 62, began dating Lasko in 1986, and they have a son, Harry, who was born in November 2003. All the affairs took place before Letterman’s marriage, said Tom Keaney, spokesman for Letterman’s production company, Worldwide Pants.

Letterman arrived on stage Monday to applause and cheers from his studio audience. After drinking it in, he grinned sheepishly and inquired, with a mock stammer, “Did your, did your weekend just fly by?”

“Inadvertently, I just wasn’t thinking ahead,”


Wasn’t thinking ahead, or wasn’t thinking with his head?

Letterman bashed Bush every night for eight years. Letterman is a disgusting hypocrite.

...and since their marriage was announced earlier this year, that means all the flings took place while they were "together". They didn't announce their marriage until this year, I believe. So basically, good ol' Dave was stepping out on her all during their "relationship". I'm sure she appreciates the technicalities. Or maybe she doesn't care...these are liberals, after all.

I live near Letterman’s mother Dorothy and saw her on Sunday the 4th at a restaurant. She was very unhappy. I would guess he has his work cut out for him with his mother as well.

I was wondering how she was dealing with her son having the morals of an alley cat.

They just married last March. OTOH, maybe she had the goods on him. Why else would he marry her after 29 years?

Maybe Dorothy can slip some saltpeter into her son’s Thanksgiving pies this year.

There’s something really sick about him airing all this stuff on his show.
