Do you feel like David Letterman should have had more repercussions after the scandal?

[Neil-Aspinall]

Look all Kings do what Letterman did, it's just what comes with power. The women are equally to blame.

If he never got someone trying to black mail him would he ever have come clean ?

So even if women enter into consensual relationships they are still victims. Enough of this crap.

[sarveshribangadkar]

I've some how never heard of this scandal before. BTW the more I hear about these celebrities the more I realize that their life is vastly different from ours. Their morality is different from us. What we consider as a selfish or douche behavior may not be so for them. For what ordinary people get punished they simply don't.

[davidbruns]

No matter how you try to spin it this is just wrong and he knew it he did anyway!

[Danuta]

Owning up to it is definitely a start. I think Dave has stepped outside of himself and began to see what he did from a different stand point now. Like most of us when we make huge mistakes in life. He will spend years making up for what he’s done and is a better human for doing so

[supramby]

I guess I never cared enough about David Letterman to have ever heard of this scandal.

[SrSacaninha]

never trust someone who writes for vanity fair

[davidnich]

Was a bit annoying to me as a male fan as I somehow got the impression from the show he didn't have a sex life at all. Ironic he could have easily slept with 1000s of women who didn't work with him consensually, like David Duchovny and others, all those stalkers would have been the tip of the iceberg of women attracted to his power fame and talent . He didn't really seem to have a social life outside the show, that may be why he ended up sleeping with co-workers, a bit tragic, but doesn't eclipse his comic genius.

[lorireed]

Oh please, everyone suffers from some sort of depression, but you don't go sleeping with staffers to make yourself feel better!!

[charlesbush]

let him without sin cast the first stone.

[Elhastezy]

It is so so ridiculous HOW OFTEN a woman will get w/a man who's already in a relationship & then get mad when the man does the same thing to them😆

It's not funny but it's funny she got him exactly the way the assistant did

[stephaniegrace]

I just can’t be mad at David Letterman. Maybe it’s because I grew up watching him, but he just doesn’t piss me off like the rest of ‘em. At the end of the day, we are all human and make mistakes. He did the right thing by owning up and changing.

[semilovato]

“I’m in Hell. I will always be in Hell until the day after, then i go to Hell” that is dark 😅

[utubebeena]

But the women were not forced, right?
They wanted to be in relationship with him, no??

[hyejeongchang]

Thank you for making this video. As much as I admire Letterman's career and what he had done with it, every time I see him, I keep thinking about this whole ordeal and makes me very uncomfortable to watch him. You summed it up so well. I doubt that if not because of someone who tried to expose him, he would have never come forward. Whether he is really doing the work to make up for it is something we never know.

[ElectrikMe]

Does this mean his wife got the biggest promotion of all? She must be livid. Good luck with the battles at home, David!

[deueldedeprince]

the way I see it this scandal was resolved. You are trying to punish a man for his past mistakes and errors. You should look into your own life now and fix whatever that's broken.

[havva]

Usually with long term cheaters, unless something happens that will reveal your indiscretions in someway or another you will not do anything about it. You are loving that kind of lifestyle and you think that you can get away with anything. The side affairs are exciting and you dont want to let them go. If you cheat once and you have a good conscience and connection, the guilt will eat you up until you will confess to your partner.
