NEW YORK (Reuters) - Comedian David Letterman said on Monday his wife has been "horribly hurt" by revelations of his sexual affairs exposed in an extortion plot against him and he apologized to staff of his popular late-night talk show.

The host of "Late Show with David Letterman" said in the taping of his Monday show that he will try to patch things up with Regina, whom he married in March after dating for more than 20 years. The two have a 5-year-old son, Harry.

"She has been horribly hurt by my behavior, and when something happens like that, if you hurt a person and it's your responsibility, you try to fix it," Letterman told audiences, according to a statement from his company, Worldwide Pants.

[Dallas59]

Boo hoo....Just retire and get lost.

[Carley]

Hah, the wife is going to get a lot more than $2million for his treachery and debauchery.

We always knew you were a creep, Dave.

[samtheman]

I watched the pervs “confession” on youtube and I have to tell you, I am totally amazed at this idiot’s success. People are very very very stupid to think he’s interesting or funny or entertaining or even bearable. We live in a very very very stupid country.

[rovenstinez]

How could she be hurt? She lived with him, didn’t she know the class of cheapshot he is.

[Clara Lou]

If I were the missus, I’d just tell Dave that a divorce with a very, very large check attached would make it all better.

[Joe Boucher]

Dave is not remorseful, he’s mad he got caught.
Had this not come to light he’d still be fouling young girls and or young boys.

[Dallas59]

She knew. I have a feeling that she may take DL to the bank on this one.

[Malsua]

"She has been horribly hurt by my behavior

Gee, ya think?

I bet she had suspicions.

[South40]

[Will88]

The entire sordid example of the slimeball Lettterman illustrates that CBS is nothing but an amoral enterprise where nothing but the bottom line matters. Sexual affairs on company property will get someone fired at most companies, not to mention that Letterman’s behavior could have, or might have created all sorts of situations that could result in sexual harassment law suits.

CBS seems to be getting off far too easily in this matter. The execs who are tolerating Letterman should be named and raked over the coals.

[Politicalmom]

If you don’t behave in vile manner, you don’t have as much to “fix”.

[DieHard the Hunter]

Crocodile Tears, Dave. Now, you gotta pay.

[kempster]

You are so right on this. If he was really serious about this he would refrain from bringing any humor to it. I’m betting that soon his attorney will advise him that his inane commentary will become a detriment to his case.

[Dallas59]

[Rocco DiPippo]

Who’s the guy in the picture?

[tobyhill]

Where's his apology to Palin’s daughter?

[ET(end tyranny)]

Gee, maybe he knows now how he hurt Palin’s family........

[DocRock]

He should invite her on the show to crack some jokes about the whole sordid affair. They could get some laughs, chuckles and applause as well as boost ratings. And if the audience doesn't respond on cue, he could always pull out a few Sarah Palin jokes to fix everything.

The sad thing is, what I just wrote in jest is probably at the top of his writer's list of possible 'damage control'.

[Thrownatbirth]

"She has been horribly hurt by my behavior, and when something happens like that, if you hurt a person and it's your responsibility, you try to fix it,"

If his apology to Sarah Palin is any indication, Dave is going to ridicule his wife on the next "Top Ten List".

[South40]

The type of thing that would marry Dave Letterman.

[mkjessup]

For Dave, the fun has not yet begun:

"Shargel [Attorney for alleged extortionist] said he looked forward to questioning Letterman on the witness stand."

Dave probably has no idea of what is lying in wait for him when that sparkling moment made-for-TV manifests itself.

[Joe Boucher]

I think he has put his network in an untenable position.
They stay behind him and they too will be brought suit against for allowing sexual harassment and looking the other way. By how many?
Dave will soon be forced to quit and ride off in to the sunset. In disgrace to those still moral and a hero still to those perverts who think he is above it all cause he is a “star”.

[rbg81]

Her husband embarrassed her on national television. Does it get worse than that? I thought his first confession was a little too clever, now he’s paying the price for it.

[Dallas59]

Beware of the Comeuppins Monster

[MortMan]

She was “horribly hurt” by your ACTIONS, Dave, NOT by the “revelations”.

What a putz!

(In case Dallas59’s name is Dave, this is aimed at Letterman.)

[South40]

[Dallas59]

[ambeeeant]

Kinda like Sandford and Ensign? And numerous other holier than thou politicians?

[N. Theknow]

Comedian David Letterman said on Monday

?????????

There are two David Lettermans?

Who is this comedian David Letterman?

Anyone ever seen him?

[Dallas59]

Public access channel 281, Sunday nights at 3:00 am.

[DocRock]

Regarding this photo... “Cash for Clunkers” comes to mind.

[Dallas59]

At least they weren’t real prostitutes.

[Rennes Templar]

No wonder he did it.

[brewcrew]

This guy is an emotional 2nd-grader.

[caver]

I heard some of his apology comments this morning. They were lame, but his brain dead audience still managed to laugh?

[Ezekiel]

Comedian David Letterman said on Monday his wife has been "horribly hurt" by revelations of his sexual affairs exposed in an extortion plot against him and he apologized to staff

"Sorry staff, that my wife found out and spoiled the fun..."

???

What a greaseball.

[Thrownatbirth]

Shargel [Attorney for alleged extortionist]

He's a known shark who happens to be the defense attorney for the Gottis and the Gambino crime family.

Oh, he'll make Dave squirm for sure. This should be fun.

[Dallas59]

and applaud.

[muawiyah]

She not only knew she became a voluntary concubine for over 20 years.

[Route797]

I hope he can clean up his act, if for no other reason than his child deserves better.

[Bluebeard16]

Is that a picture of Regina? I’ve never seen her before.

[Roses0508]

I saw some comment that no one had sued him for sexual harrassment and my thought was “not yet”. I’m sure those are coming.

I’m also absolutely certain there is more here than currently is known.

[Dr. Ursus]

BINGO!

[rbg81]

At least they weren’t real prostitutes.

---

Not that I advocate it, but a prostitute would have been far better. With a prostitute, there is no relationship there except for the $$, so (unless the woman is coerced by a pimp) its a victimless crime. In Dave’s case, he was preying on his underlings—so it was a double-edged betrayal.

If CBS had any scruples, they would fire his sorry a$$. I would be shocked if there were no lawsuits resulting from this fiasco.

Letterman says Wife "Horribly Hurt" by Sex Scandal

Letterman had a "secret bedroom" built above the set to handle the continuing stream of "young talent" he was bedding constantly over the years.

"Don't talk about it anymore! You're hurting my wife!"

What a beast...

[70th Division]

As I have said before “Discovery is a bitch” Let the law suite begin. LOL

[70th Division]

We have to get this one televised like the O.J. Trial.

[Carley]

If I am not mistaken had had her stashed in Montana while he led the gay life in NY.

[Carley]

And there is talk that his staff wants HER to write a letter of support for him.

GIVE ME A BREAK

[Dr. Ursus]

We went to a Letterman taping years ago.The show ended and a
producer asked the audience to stay to film a spot. There was a crowd around his desk. He yelled out a stream of invective that would embarrass a soldier in combat. We and the rest of the auidence were stunned and everyone left
the building in silence until we reached the street. The
people comments were that they could not believe what they
just heard!
