NEW YORK - David Letterman, days after revealing on air that hed been sexually involved with women from his television program, apologized to his wife on Mondays Late Show, saying she had been horribly hurt by my behavior.
The late-night host, building on Thursdays 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.
Mondays 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 wasnt thinking ahead, Letterman said. My thanks to the staff for, once again, putting up with something stupid Ive 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 Lettermans marriage, said Tom Keaney, spokesman for Lettermans 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 wasnt thinking ahead,
Liberals applauding liberals, what a shock
Letterman bashed Bush every night for eight years. Letterman is a disgusting hypocrite.
Excellent point-well made.
She’ll make him pay big time.
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.
"You go, Dave! Keep on humping your own female employees who are half your age! You da man! Be proud!"
This whole episode clearly displays that between Lettermn and Palin its pretty obvious who the better person is.
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.
That’s where society is headed..you rape someone and you get an applause so everything’s fine (sarc/)
while a guy from Texas can get
sucks to be you ...dave. ya punk.
Why don't you just go on and put down Palin and her daughters , ya putz.
Schadenfruede on the Karma highway...bwahahahahahaha...
It’s not where our society is headed, it’s where it is.
That’s Obamamerica 2009.
There’s something really sick about him airing all this stuff on his show.
Where the hell do they find the sickos to be in this clown’s audience?
