David Letterman Extortion/Confession Video
David Letterman on his Late Night with David Letterman show last night confessed to multiple sexual affairs with staffers and employees at the show.
The confession came during the revelation that allegedly Robert Joel Halderman, who works on the crime show 48 Hours had placed a package in the back of his car blackmailing him in hopes of extorting a $2 million check in exchange for not exposing Letterman’s multiple sexual affairs with staffers and embarrassing Letterman. Research shows that a Joe Halderman was an Emmy award winning producer from 48 Hours.
Most in the audience thought Dave was telling an extended joke, even as the story extended to nearly 10 minutes long. It did finally become evident towards the very end that Dave was serious, relieved that the blackmailer was locked up, and a bit uneasy admitting the sexual affairs to his audience.
He did a good job in mixing in jokes, being light, showing fear, and basically keeping his audience off balance, to where, for the most part, the news didn’t hit as hard as it normally would have.
One of his funnier lines: “I know what you’re saying,” he said. “I’ll be darned, Dave had sex.”
Dave recently wed his girlfriend Regina Lasko of nearly two decades back in March. The couple has a son, Harry, that was born back in 2003.
Letterman now has more in common with arch nemesis Bill O’Reilly than he would like to. The difference with O’Reilly being that he was allegedly extorted by a former female employee he had been sexual with on some level. A settlement was reached in that case. It will be interesting the next time ‘the Factor’ is on Late Night with good ole’ Dave Letterman.
Halderman will be charged with and tried for extortion.

This story just seems to get more bizarre the more you hear about it. I’ve got to admit, when I was watching this live last night, I wasn’t really sure if Dave was goofing around or not. As it progressed, you just felt really uncomfortable watching it. I feel for his wife, because I can’t imagine how she feels watching her husband tell of his infidelity in front of all of America. I think Dave deserves some credit for the way he didn’t let his blackmailer bully him into paying the money, and I’m glad that man is currently behind bars, where he should stay for a very long time.
What is “Joel’s” born faith? The same as Dave’s wife? All the original reports–before media got hold of his booking data–indicated he was Robert JOE Halderman. Letterman did a pretty smarmy and presumably accurate on-air whining impression of Joel’s plaintive personal plea. I saw the impression on You Tube. The cable and broadcast networks are creatively excising Dave’s hilarious kvetching impression from their coverage. Rather like the recent Jane Harman and Marc Grossman lack of coverages.
Messy, messy situation. Guys keep it in your pants until after work!
