‘Dirty Dave’ Letterman Strikes Again
First the assistant, now the intern – news of David Letterman’s trysts is about as predictable as his opening monologue. Hot on the heels of a revelation between the legendary comic and longtime staffer and occasional comic foil Stephanie Birkitt, a second woman has come forward. Holly Hester, an intern at the show has revealed a year long secret relationship in the early 90’s, even as David Letterman was with longtime girlfriend and now wife Regina Lasko.
Hester has been quoted as saying that she was “madly in love with him at the time,” and “would’ve married him”. David Letterman’s shocking confession came on national TV, after an ex-boyfriend of Birkitt, Robert (Joe) Halderman, saddled with financial debt from a divorce settlement, allegedly tried to extort Mr. Letterman for $2 million over the secret affair.
