David Letterman Apologizes to Wife on Air
David Letterman will use his opening monologue tonight to publicly apologize to his wife and his current and former colleagues, according to numerous audience members. "Wow, that weekend went fast," he joked before turning serious during this afternoon's taping, his first public appearance at the Ed Sullivan Theater since Thursday, when he revealed the extortion plot that arose from his sexual dalliances with subordinates. "He apologized, he talked about how it was tough on his family and it was also tough on the people that work on the show and the women in particular, and it was real heartfelt," an audience member told the local CBS affiliate. Guest Steve Martin later took the stage and lightened the mood, opening with, "So, how was your weekend?"

But you know what would have been funny? When Mr.Letterman revealed to his audience last Thursday about the sex allegations and everything--if someone in the audience would have blurted out "YOU LIE!" after his confession. That would have been hilarious!
Because, remember after Mr. Letterman stated what was going on,the audience just laughed. It was like, no one could believe it was TRUE! They were so used to always laughing, even when the subject matter was serious, people still LAUGHED! I don't get that.Ohhh well.
dont you think if you had a wife and you declared all your on going relationships your wife would have left you already..
i mean thats a very forgiving wife..
or they both are playing to get more famous..
He did the right thing by confessing his mistakes. That took a lot of courage. He has a lot of fans/ viewers.
