On Thursday night’s “Late Show,” David Letterman said he’d had affairs with female employees and had been targeted by someone trying to extort him over the relationships.
After performing his opening monologue as usual, Letterman took a seat at his desk and explained — with a mix of seriousness and his trademark humor — that about three weeks ago he’d received a package from an individual threatening him to pay $2 million or chance having the news of his affairs come to light.

Letterman said he went to his attorney about the threat and they decided to arrange a meeting with the individual allegedly attempting to extort him. After the meeting, during which the alleged extortionist reiterated his intentions to disclose Letterman’s affairs in a screenplay, Letterman said he and his lawyer called the Special Prosecution Bureau, a division of the Manhattan district attorney’s office.
Continuing on, he said the officials advised him to arrange a second meeting with the alleged extortionist. Letterman said that at that meeting, the individual threatened to also write a novel revealing Letterman’s affairs. Later on, at a third meeting, Letterman said he gave the individual a “phony” $2 million check. The late-night host then said the individual had been arrested Thursday afternoon after a warrant was issued.
Letterman added that he’d testified before a grand jury on the matter: “This morning, I did something I’ve never done in my life,” he said. “I had to go downtown and testify before a grand jury.” He said that while testifying, he acknowledged the sexual relationships with his staff members.
“My response to that is, yes I have,” Letterman said. “Would it be embarrassing if it were made public? Perhaps it would. I feel like I need to protect these people. I need to certainly protect my family.”
