“Late Show” host David Letterman decided to talk about “creepy things” last night.
Well, he certainly creeped me out.
In a bizarre 11-minute talk, he turned a confession that he had sex with several female CBS employees and was the victim of a $2 million extortion plot into a comedy bit.
Spare me.
A clearly confused audience yukked it up with Letterman as he sat at his desk after his normal monologue and laid out the strange story.
Not until well into the “confession” did it appear that the audience caught onto the fact that Letterman apparently wasn’t joking.
Letterman drew guffaws from the audience when he admitted “the creepy stuff was that I had sex with women who work for me on this show. My response to that is yes, I have.”
At that point the audience erupted in laughs. Funny stuff, no?
But Letterman wasn’t done.
“Would it be embarrassing if it were made public?” he said. “Yes, it would, especially for the women.” More chuckles from the audience.
Eventually the audience caught on that despite his schtick, Letterman was not joking.
Another CBS employee has been charged with trying to extort $2 million from the TV host by threatening to expose his relationships with the female employees.
“It was a very bizarre experience,” Letterman told the audience. It certainly was.
Creepy, you might say. But, at least to me, not in the way Letterman imagined.
