I received numerous responses to my emails all anxious to dissassociate themselves from Letterman:

Thank you for your email. Embassy Suites is not a sponsor or advertiser of the David Letterman show. Several online ads did appear on a series of web sites, including cbs.com, among many others. These ads have since been taken down. The appearance of the ads on the CBS network web site does not suggest we condone or agree with Mr. Letterman’s views or comments.

Again, we sincerely appreciate your email and concern.

Sincerely,

Dawn Ray

Thank you for bringing this important matter to our attention. I can confirm to you that Ancestry.com is not an advertiser or sponsor of the CBS Late Show with David Letterman. It is unclear how the company’s name ended up on this list, but it appears to be a mistake. We would appreciate your help in spreading the correct information. May I ask if there’s a website that you got our information from? I’m hoping to reach out to them directly to let them know.

Thanks,

Mike Ward, Ancestry.com Public Relations

At no time has LifeLock ever sponsored David Letterman or any other national CBS talk show. It is possible, however, that depending on where you live that your local station inserted one of our advertisements into an open slot. We have no control what these stations do with the open slot or where the station places our approved advertisement.

We appreciate your email and assure you again, that we have no affiliation with Mr. Letterman’s show.

Sincerely,
Tami Nealy
