Letterman, The Romantic

6 October, 2009

Who watched Letterman’s on-air apology last night? The long-time TV personality has been accused of, and admitted to, having inappropriate relationships with staff members. Really? This viewer, for one, finds that hard to believe (and impossible to think about).

Letterman, in case no one else has noticed, is not going to rival Harrison Ford, Pierce Brosnan or probably even the aging Hugh Hefner in Hollywood’s ‘most handsome’ department. So does a certain degree of wealth and celebrity just make absolutely anyone attractive?

Apparently the point of the apology was to express his remorse to his wife. Seems a little impersonal, if you ask me. A televised apology can’t possibly be considered romantic. Is she not speaking with him directly? Hopefully she was amongst the estimated 5 million people who reportedly tuned in.
