'Late Show' staff gals got plenty of 'advances'
The New York Post ^ | October 4, 2009 | Susannah Cahalan, Annie Karni and Stefanie Cohen

Long before Stephanie Birkitt was revealed as David Letterman's squeeze, the funnyman was known to surround himself with beautiful young staffers who ministered to his daily needs -- and favored women when it came to promotions.

Holly Hester, who interned for Letterman in the early '90s while she was a student at NYU, said yesterday the two had a steamy, secret affair for a year.

She said Letterman called her one day and asked her to the movies, and they soon began seeing each other on the sly.

"I was madly in love with him at the time," Hester told TMZ.com. "I would have married him. He was hilarious."

"Late Show" sources said female employees always did well under Letterman.

"Dave has a great track record of promoting women on the show -- three of the five executive producers are women, and all of them have been with him for more than 20 years," said another high-ranking "Late Show" staffer.

Another source described the show as "a very female-friendly place. He's got all these strong women working for him. Strong women survive there."

Tasks Letterman assigned his younger female workers ranged from doing his Christmas shopping to having his car ready at the theater exit.(continued)

Hasn’t been funny for a long time. Now he’s obnoxious.

Sort of explains his mindset when making vulgar comments about Palin’s daughter.

Worldwide Pants would probably have hired Monica Lewinsky too and had the same results. No wonder Leatherman and Klintoon are such great pals - they probably pass babes back and forth, maybe even did sandwiches like Dodd and the swimmer.

I didn't think strong women were supposed to sleep with the boss.

Agreed... If this woman thinks that sleeping with the boss, in order to advance, is "strong", I'd hate to see what she thinks of, as "weak"...

Very typical. Blame the women.

ARGH!

I found the audience laughing more outrageous than Lettermen's actions. This is what our society has dropped to - no wonder muzzies hate us. No, the muzzies don't hate America becuase of George Bush.

She’s an “almost closing time” girl..not quite a last call “I’d hit it” girl, but if she approached me at, say, 0030 hours, sure...I’m in!

It sounds like Worldwide Pants should be changed to World wide OPEN Pants.

Why hasn’t CBS fired this guy? Where are the Feminists? Why don’t our conservative boom boxes call for a boycott of CBS advertisers on his show? When are we going to take the Tea-Party Principles and transform anger into action?

We now have 4 names, there’s probably many more. This guy is runnig this show as his own personal harem. What a pervert.

Any other TV host in s imilar situation would be fired immediately. Obama called for Imus to be fired instantly. What does he think of his pal Dave bringing in young interns and banging them and then paying them and setting up their careers to keep them quiet? Clinton got Monica a job at Revlon and the UN. Dave paid for Birkitt to go to Law School. The same MO.

What a sick man

Pat Sajak was a conservative. Does anyone here wonder what the press treatment would be if HE used his position of authority for sex with subordinates?

I mean...sex is about POWER relations, right...?
