A former "Late Show" intern came forward Saturday to say she is one of David Letterman's former flings.
"I was madly in love with him at the time," Holly Hester told TMZ.com. "I would have married him. He was hilarious."
The NYU alum said the relationship started when Letterman asked her on a date to the movies.
A year-long, secret romance ensued, she said, until the funnyman called it off.
Letterman, 62, admitted on air Thursday night that he had affairs with female staffers, but did not name them.
He made the confession while revealing that a CBS News producers had tried to extort $2 million from him, threatening to reveal the sex secrets.

Do you think David Letterman should resign after admitting he had affairs with staffers?
No - elected officials have done worse and kept their jobs.
Yes - it sets a terrible example for others in postions of power and influence.
Not sure.
Just punching his card.
Letterman must have plans to get into politics.
And to those...ahem...women, one word: "ewww."
Interesting how all the players in the story are from CBS. CBS must be a cess-pool of back-stabbing, sex, and political gamesmanship. These perverted elites at CBS would do well in any Roman Emporer’s court.
The intern later replied that he had suffered from “smallcox”.
Badda-bing.
Hey, he’s a lib. We KNOW he don’t got no b*lls.
Well, Letterman isn’t the host of holy hour, so I don’t know if this is going to hurt him or not, but as to him quitting, it sure would be nice, but I don’t see him doing it on his own.
Don’t know enough yet. But if this was a matter of dating and relationships, where no coercion, favors, or deception was involved, then no I don’t think he should be fired. If weven one woman comes forward and says there was coercion or threats to keep silent, then yes, fire him and castrate him with a dull spoon. But so far, two wanted to marry him, one did. This one said they dated for a year...Hardly sounds like Letterman was just trying to add notches to his headboard...
I am not saying his behavior was laudable, but then I’ve heard nothing to suggest these weren’t relationships between consenting adults, before Letterman got married.
He's the host of holier than thou hour.
Then thats between him and his wife.
If he were in elective office, he would have to go, as someone who does not meet the necessary public trust.
He is an entertainer. He will be at CBS as long as his ratings stay up and he has advertizers.
He may have violated CBS corporate policy.
And he may have some problems with sexual harassment liability, but so far no one has complained.
I do not respect his life style.
Dave is self-employed and thus cannot resign.
“But so far, two wanted to marry him, one did.”
While I agree with your sentiment (I don’t think he should fired unless someone says he used this against them), neither of the two married him.
These floozies got in the sack and did the humpty dumpty with the slimy old fart because they thought doing so would further their careers. Letterman is just plain ugly. He has the cash to attract women, not the looks.
I agree. They were consenting relationships between adults.
There isn’t much of a story here other than a low life blackmailer and a lefty who makes fun of others while indulging in his own pursuits.
I don't think so. Letterbastard thinks he can slander and mock the private lives of other people, but his rotten "family" life is sacrosanct. My @$*.
bttt
Compared to his wife, Dave should of slept with this girl first.
I’m not sure we have the whole story yet. So I will wait for the “rest of the story” before making my final judgement.
All the players int the story WORKED for CBS!
He’s ok until one of these cookies finds out she can make a claim based on his superior status in the workplace. Then he’s toast.
Dave has a contract with CBS. He can abrogate it or CBS can void it if there is a morals clause.
He is the chairman/owner of Worldwide Pants. I guess maybe he couldn’t be fired, but he could probably resign and appoint someone to take his place. I’m not sure if there is a board of directors or how much power they might have since it’s not a public company.
No: elected DEMOCRAT officials have done worse and kept their jobs.
There, I fixed it.
I think this one pictured is Stephanie, not the new woman who claims an affair.
These affairs are not illegal. These are two consecting adults. It’s pretty common to date and/or marry people you work with. Sexual harrassment is a whole different issue.
That one is Stephanie Birkitt.
I’m wondering whast the blackmailer has/had. Did Letterman make tapes of his “encounters of the wrong kind”.
Nasty. His wife is nothing to look at but he is no Prince Charming for sure.
Why can people judge her on her looks when he is such an ugly f$^k?
This is what turns me off on FR. Men are kings, no matter how butt ugly but it is okay when the other half is less than pleasant to look at.
I would wash my bathroom floor with Letterman. No matter how much he is worth, no way would I want to wake up to his ugly face in the morning.
I think this is an issue because he slept with Stephanie, Holy, and other female interns. If he slept with Rupert, the deli guy, the CBS and other MSMs would not think it a big deal.
Its possible that his wife looked like this girl a few years ago.
This is Holly Hester:
Holly Hester:Holly Hester was a former intern for David Letterman in the early 1990s. Hester said she was considered a highly ranked staffer for David Letterman back then.
Hester was studying at NYU when she worked as an intern for Letterman. Hester was excited as it was her first TV job.
It all started when Letterman called her up for a movie date. Letterman dated her secretly for about one year. Hester fell in love with him. One of the reasons was his sense of humor. Hester called Letterman “hilarious”.
After one year, he told Hester he wanted to split because of their age gap.
David Letterman and his representatives have not given their response to Holly Hester’s story.

Is CBS still owned by ViagraCom?
But I wouldn't use the bathroom afterwards.
Saw somewhere he had a diary of one of them. Also saw he was or maybe is involved with Stephanie.
I'd like to know more about the ranking system.
So true.
He is such a pig.
Haven’t watched him in years.
Is his mother still alive and doing the show??
She was always pretty cool.
This guy is such a disgrace!
That’s more like it...
har!
LOL!! Right on, turn Storm loose on him...
Yeah, he gave up a young, attractive woman crazy about him to marry an almost-as-ugly-as-he-is woman. No wonder he won’t allow pics of his child.
Sorry, i know this is cold, but it makes me wonder. and gag.
To make the world a better place, Letterman should kill himself.
After one year, he told Hester he wanted to split because of their age gap.
Yeah, she was probably too old for him by then.
Wasn't at least one affair after he got married?
They forgot to mention that he was doing teenagers. I wonder if he cards them?
Not guilty, your Honor
Storm has much better taste : )
Critical ass mass will have been reached.
