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.
