Back when the world only had 3 TV channels (OK, and cable), late night television was the edgy cultural playground of intellectuals and night owls and people who just needed to watch something at midnight. David Letterman was one of the top, and sometimes the top, late night host. Known for his quick wit and dry delivery, his show was popular for decades.
But David was sleeping with his staff and some employees didn't appreciate working for the boss's continual parade of girlfriends. David's behavior made him a prime target for blackmail - and boy was he blackmailed. Rather than give in, David had the blackmailer arrested and issued an on air apology to the viewing audience for his behavior.
This happened about 10 years prior to the #MeToo movement so his career was largely untouched by the scandal, but his personal life was wrecked. He's been on a years long journey making amends to some female staff for his behavior and we're here to tell the story and evaluate the sorry!
