You just know #1 on that list would be something anti-climactic like "Cause you're a woman!"

oh dave

what a disaster for cbs

it is kinda crepy thinking how he always made stephanie wear weird outfits on the show

They're all grownups; meeting people at work that you have relationships with is acceptable, being penalized at work for declining to partake in relationship with boss is not. I hardly think we are dealing with the latter framework so am movin' on along...

nabisco, as far as I know the other major legal snafu was the crazy woman stalking him and breaking into his house repeatedly. No money angle that I recall.

somebody plotted to kidnap his kid a couple years ago

when i first saw this i wanted to joke: "i wonder if it's that assistant he always had on who would imitate her boyfriend's dance and shit." and, shit, it was. fuck robert haldeman, that dude is a fucking faggot and read his girlfriend's diary and got his feelings hurt, charge it to the game you gay-ass 48 hours producing bitch. MR SUPERTRICK, MR SUPERSNITCH, YOU WANNA EXTORT ME CAUSE I FUCKED YO BITCH? YOU SHOULDA HAD YOUR CAPE ON TIGHT THAT NIGHT

Do we know if any of this happened post-marriage? (Not that he wasn't as good as married before.)

this afternoon i discovered a whole new realm of Things I Don't Want on My TV: wolf blitzer talking about dave letterman's sex life.

If the sex tape ever comes out it is going to be as gross as that Duck Phillips/Peggy sex scene on Mad Men.

Letterman fucking Monty is hilariously creepy, I love it.

Deep in the Nikki Finke thread comments on it all:

As a guy it is getting boring seeing these old seniors on tv
having sex issues. We already have to see the commercials of
old folks in bathtubs talking about sex. Now we got Bob Barker, Dave,
etc etc. Go Home old folks and take the old directors and producers with you.

I can't imagine Jay Leno having any sort of sex scandal, he seems like he doesn't have any genitalia.

A car, maybe.

Oh hey, from his sex manual:

He really pumped the car's gas that night.

i'm confused, did letterman say something really creepy or insensitive about this or something after the fact (i havent been tabloidin' it up like yall). what's the big deal besides him cheating on his gf (his business) and how is this being spun like he's taking advantage of his young employees/sexist?

x-post -- Caught in flagrante:

He does look very guilty there. I bet oil was dribbling everywhere.

it's only a big story because of the blackmail - would be a news blip otherwise. there is nothing saucy about this.

haha

definition of a player hater real talk

Dave's original head writer, who essentially created the NBC show, was his longtime "fiancee" Merrill Markoe.

This just smacks of Bob Hope in his 60s having gals stashed all around L.A. (at least Dave is still funnier than Old Hope.)

this smacks of dr. morbius being a player hater

Love Halderman's lawyer here:

"I'm not saying he didn't take the check," Shargel told Maggie Rodriguez on CBS’ “The Early Show." “But the question at the end of the day is, what was his intent? One of the things that the prosecution has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt, one of the elements of the offense, is that Joe Halderman had specific criminal intent. And I say to you and to the public that we shouldn't rush to judgment, because I think, at the end of the day, when the case is tried and after the cross-examination of David Letterman and the full story comes out, I'm confident that a jury will not find that specific criminal intent."

after the cross-examination of David Letterman and the full story comes out...

Am I the only one who reads this part of the quote from the lawyer as a veiled threat? WTF are we supposed to make of this, that Letterman just felt strangely compelled to give this guy a $2 million check for some as-yet-unknown reason that will come out in court?

I'm no lawyer, but when your client collected the phony blackmail payment, on tape, in a whole big investigation, and then went and attempted to deposit it, I assume you really don't have much left to say besides the claim that it wasn't actually blackmail he intended

he's got the giggle and the tics down pretty well. Does Dave have any female writers on staff, btw?

The clip that dougzibart posted is fucking funny. Excellent Dave impression. "Oh, for Chrissake!"

Also, warning: unspeakably filthy.

Evil Dave is the best.

Former Letterman writer in VF (a woman; ZERO female writers currently for Dave, Jay, OR Conan):

Without naming names or digging up decades-old dirt, let's address the pertinent questions. Did Dave hit on me? No. Did he pay me enough extra attention that it was noted by another writer? Yes. Was I aware of rumors that Dave was having sexual relationships with female staffers? Yes. Was I aware that other high-level male employees were having sexual relationships with female staffers? Yes. Did these female staffers have access to information and wield power disproportionate to their job titles? Yes. Did that create a hostile work environment? Yes. Did I believe these female staffers were benefiting professionally from their personal relationships? Yes. Did that make me feel demeaned? Completely. Did I say anything at the time? Sadly, no.

Here's what I did: I walked away from my dream job. The show picked up my option after 13 weeks; then, about two months later, while looking for a nicer apartment, I realized I didn't want to commit to a yearlong lease. I'd seen enough to know that I was not going to thrive professionally in that workplace. And although there were various reasons for that, sexual politics did play a major part.

ok

most successful television shows or television production companies, or for that matter television networks, are probably pretty horrible places to work for many reasons and those reasons listed above are usually always kind of a factor. letterman and espn are pretty par for the course (as a result of long hours, high pressure, success, and the lure of $$$ and fame.) none of this is any kind of surprise.

Cheers, David.

If his wife doesn't make the list of people who hate him, he must have done some world-class explaining.

so Conan on Dave the other night leaves me thinking they are doing a little prepro on a dave leaving the CBS 11:30 slot/conan taking over move. some super quick research shows they have both recently renewed their contracts through April 2014. its just a hunch but it feels like a strong one.

i mean it would be kind of perfect for Conan, right? Also by then Dave will be the longest running late night talk show host

leaves me thinking they are doing a little prepro on a dave leaving the CBS 11:30 slot/conan taking over move

Maybe, maybe not. I think everyone was just waiting for them to get together for exactly what happened: a string of jokes at Leno's expense.

Conan would be a really weird fit for CBS. Their programming skews so old.

sunny successor I think you're right and this is something I've often thought myself.

Conan would make a super new Dave.

(Not a new Super Dave, which was Johnny Knoxville.)
