David Letterman extortion attempt

Posted on October 2nd, 2009

David Letterman took his show down a bit more serious path last night when he revealed that he had testified before a grand jury in relation to an extortion attempt related to sexual relationships he has had with female staffers from his show. During the opening of the show as Letterman took to his desk he explained what was going on and tried to make some jokes in the process. The crowd laughed and applauded when he admitted to his relationships – which seemed odd, but what can you do.
