On Thursday's Late Show, David Letterman recounted how he testified before a Manhattan grand jury earlier in the day about how a man, whom he did not identify, left a package in his car three weeks ago and subsequently demanded $2 million or he would write a screenplay and book detailing, in Letterman's words, “all the terrible things that I do” – specifically, “that I have had sex with women who work for me on this show. Now, my response to that is: Yes I have.” (In March, Letterman married the mother of his five-year-old son.)
Just before midnight EDT, TMZ.com posted:
TMZ has learned the identity of the alleged extortionist who was arrested today for attempted grand larceny in the first degree. His name is Robert Halderman. He's 51 years old and lives in Norwalk, CT. Halderman has a business in Manhattan, where he was arrested today. CBS just issued a statement saying the suspect is an employee of "48 Hours." Halderman has been suspended pending results of the investigation.
Radar Online, in “EXCLUSIVE: Man Arrested For Extortion Lived With Woman Who Slept With Letterman,” reported: “An NYPD source has told RadarOnline.com that the suspect under arrest in the David Letterman extortion case was a producer for CBS’s 48 Hours, Robert Halderman. Halderman often went by his middle name Joe...”
UPDATE: New York Daily News article for Friday's paper: “David Letterman reveals $2M extortion plot; CBS News producer busted in scheme to reveal sex secrets.”
Film.com lists a “Joe Halderman” as a “producer” since 2005 for 48 Hours.
Deadline Hollywood posted this statement from CBS:
CBS was made aware of an ongoing police investigation involving David Letterman and an employee at 48 Hours, who was subsequently arrested earlier today on charges of attempted grand larceny in the first degree. CBS is cooperating fully with the authorities and the employee has been suspended pending the results of the investigation. Mr. Letterman addressed the issue during the show’s broadcast this evening, and we believe his comments speak for themselves.

David Letterman .... Sexual Predator
October 1, 2009 - 23:50 ET by philipjamesI think this is perfect. David Letterman, makes sexual jokes about others and here he is boinking his staff.
In all other businesses, this is sexual harassment and most executives would be canned. But, this is the entertaiment industry and the women he has had sex with are probably either wearing the sex as a badge of honour (like groupies to rock bands) or are afraid to file sexual harassment charges because they would be blackballed in the industry.
Letterman is a sexual predator who sexually harasses his female staff. Simple.
Just like Roman Polanski is a child rapist, Letterman is a sexual predator.
However, his "star" status will cleanse him.
Isn't is just wonderful.
just more evidence
October 2, 2009 - 07:24 ET by AJBThis is just more evidence of the fall of Western Civilization as we know it. Liberals have no morals. They have no sense of right and wrong. They have no self control. They hate authority, except when they can use it to pummel those who don't agree with their sick view of the world. Dave's schtick is old and tired. His skits are lame. I guess he's too busy getting it with the staffers to be funny anymore. Bye Dave. Leno is looking better all the time.

October 2, 2009 - 08:48 ET by mattmMoney, power, prestige - that's what they want.
I wonder if Leno will make a joke about this.....
You make an excellent point, philipjames
October 2, 2009 - 07:46 ET by GalvanicLetterman fits the description of a sexual predator in the workplace. As the 'boss,' he has leverage over his employees, and therefore any sexual behavior with them is misconduct and sexual harassment.
Now, can a sexual predator who has cheated on his own significant-other/wife/mother of his son, continue to get laughs when he mocks the family of Sarah Palin? (Let's not forget the crack about A-Rod 'doing' her 13 year-old daughter at Yankee Stadium).
We'll have to wait and see, but I think that while his fans may forgive and even empathize with him, his image has been tarnished. He's lost his edge years ago, and now he just comes across as pathetic.
Leno could get a good week's worth of jokes out of Letterman's plight, but he probably won't hit him too heavily out of professional courtesy.

This warrants a grand larceny charge?
October 2, 2009 - 00:20 ET by big.league.sliderSo this CBS employee gets a grand larceny charge for threatening to tell the truth about how Letterman treats his female employees? Halderman gets prosecuted for larceny, and Letterman gets off scott-free after admitting to probable sexual harassment. This is a new low, even for CBS.
And compare Letterman to Rather. Dan Rather apparently, and knowingly, used forged documents in an attempt to affect the outcome of a US presidential election, and in the process effectively depriving me of my civil rights. And he was only asked to resign.
Poor Halderman. He is being prosecuted for doing the type of investigative expose' that the hacks on 60 minutes are normally given an Emmy award for.

Poor Halderman my aunt
October 2, 2009 - 04:41 ET by ReaverPoor Halderman my aunt fanny, the man is charged with grand larceny for offering to bury the story in exchange for two million dollars. If he had simply gone public with what he knew it would be a different story. No heroes here.

Generalizing
October 2, 2009 - 02:31 ET by KC MulvilleA confession: I caught myself being a jerk. Forgive me as I explain. My first reaction to the Letterman thing was to lump it into another example of Liberal Celebrity Weirdness. In just the last few days ...
I was going to wonder publicly, what's wrong with these people? Don't these incidents show that something is out of whack with that whole crowd? However ...
I've also been following another annoying development in our public conversation. Lately, have you noticed that our liberal friends have been pointing to the very small fraction of kooks and whackos who show up at otherwise-conservative public events? We have a march of maybe hundreds of thousands of people in DC, but what does the media focus on? The five people who carry Hitler or racist signs. Why do they focus on the bad five when there are hundreds of thousands of good marchers to choose from?
The sin is generalizing, and we do it all the time. It's sloppy thinking, and lazy thinking. It's following your emotions and prejudices and pretending it's really an argument. We all do it, frequently. Like I said: I found myself doing it.
So ... what does Letterman's personal depravity say about liberals and the political Left? After reflecting on it ... I revise my opinion. It says Nothing. Letterman's just an aberrant crank these days. Let the analysis stay with him as an individual, and not generalize it broadly. He's a jerk. That's all it means.
KC...
October 2, 2009 - 02:48 ET by JerI hope I can take the time to follow up on this later, because it is such an important issue with me, and it deserves more amplification than I can possibly provide in the few moments before having to wrap things up for the night.
Generalizing is no sin, but it is a disturbing, dangerous and growing phenomenon encompassing the entire political spectrum, crippling debate and poisoning discourse.
I have read Ebert's piece twice, and despite some imprecise language, to no one's great surprise [I'm sure] fail to see the same degree of broad demonizing brush strokes that you, Mr. Weiss, and no doubt the vast majority of NBers detect.
But, I'll continue this later...if at all possible tomorrow.
G'night...Jer

We gotta find a new planet...
Yeah, I know
October 2, 2009 - 07:30 ET by KC MulvilleIf it makes you feel any better, all it means is that Letterman's troubles don't prove anything about the rest of the liberal crowd. However, as a statement about Letterman, it still shows that he's really a titanic jerk.
Nazi signs....
October 2, 2009 - 06:18 ET by adamsmithI tend to wonder how many of those signs were carried by people who were hired by MediaMatters or some other Soros sponsered group to cast the image of people who are angry over out of control government as insane,racist, and Republican. Next time around, the people carrying those signs should be photographed and investigated. My money is on them being less than honest about who they are...
~The thing is..
October 2, 2009 - 08:14 ET by choselife3xWhile Letterman's behavior says nothing about liberals, the way liberals respond to his behavior..says everything about them.

October 2, 2009 - 08:36 ET by Cool ArrowI'll just add these episodes have a way of flushing out the licentious avante garde who incredulously act as though they've thought the whole thing through and see much ado about nothing.
Whoopi opines on Polanski and exposes herself. A crowd applauds for Letterman and certain inferences can be drawn.
We may not know the shape of the curve, but I wouldn't say we're very far off the mark when we attempt to describe it.
Avant Garde
October 2, 2009 - 09:19 ET by KC MulvilleI like your "avant garde" comment. I'd agree that Hollywood imagines themselves the avant garde. They dismiss "bourgeois" values, not because they've acquired superior philosophical and moral perspectives themselves, but merely because they want to portray themselves as superior.
It annoys me to hear these post-pubescents lecture us about morality, as if they knew a moral philosophy from a salami. At least Jean Paul Sartre studied and philosophized that the world is absurd before he shacked up with Simone de Beauvoir(sp?). To hear "artists" condescend to the rest of us is hilarious. Read a book on morality before you lecture us on it. (And performing a play written by yet-another-tortured-artist doesn't count as moral reflection.)

Generalization is no sin.
October 2, 2009 - 08:44 ET by TenebrousGeneralization is no sin. Incorrect generalization is the sin.
What is liberalism? Liberalism is first, relativism. It holds that there is no fixed meaning to written documents (the Constitution, the law, the Bible); this leads straightaway to moral relativism. You only need to look at liberal clergy and their response to abortion to intuit the process.
So what does Lettermen's lack of morality, lack of judgement, and lack of honesty say about the Left? That he is a shining example of everything that they believe and that they practice.
He is representative.

October 2, 2009 - 07:10 ET by FeynmanFanI think charging men in positions of power with sexual harassment had the rug pulled out from under it when no one complained about sexual harassment in the President Clinton and Monica Lewinsky affair.

October 2, 2009 - 07:10 ET by okiehawk44Is it now legal in Leftist circles to sexually harass your subordinates?
In most modern work environments, it is against work rules to tell off-color jokes much less boink the help.
The allowed and honored exceptions always seem to be Democratic presidents like Bill Clinton and creeps like "Do as I pontificate not as I do" Letterman.
This is one of those moments when supporters of Letterman need to look in their morality mirrors and try once again to see what is right.
You old Leftist "if it feels good do it" hippies continue to support on-the-job sexual harrassment, incest with John Phillips and pedophilia with Polanski.

If Letterman used his position to force unwilling employees to have sex, then it is criminal, and I care, and I will scream for him to be punished.

But I think it's hilarious the assumptions and judgements made by people. "Sexual predator"? Really? As if he should have to register with the local authorities. Another case of liberals thinking sleeping around is OK? As if Republicans have never had affairs.

Jer
The difference to me is that
October 2, 2009 - 10:13 ET by balboaThe difference to me is that Republicans claim the moral high ground, then they get caught cheating. Letterman makes no such claims. He makes fun of others for cheating, yup. I don't think he'd say no one should make fun of him for his affairs.
Like I said, I'm disappointed that he had sex with employees, while in a relationship with someone else. That shows bad judgement and decision-making. Sanford made bad decisions, too. Sanford is human, too.

October 2, 2009 - 10:09 ET by balboaYou don't think he used his power to get his way?
Maybe. We don't know yet.
You don't think that these women shouldn't sue for sexual harassment?
Were they willing partners?
But you will vilify a Republican for doing the same or less
Not true.
Conservatives will never understand.
October 2, 2009 - 09:42 ET by Kingfish17Since most of the people who post at NB are conservatives, you will never understand what it's like to be a hip liberal sexual swinger like David Letterman or Bill Clinton or Roman Pulanski. Conservatives, by definition, are repressed sexually. If you believe in monogamy, you are unqualified to comment on this matter.
And just because the above steryotype is as old and trite as, Democart President = Smart and Caring and Republican President = Dumb and Greedy, doesn't mean that the steryotype isn't true.
Most of you conservatives probably don't even know that your kids were propogated by sexually irresistable liberals who slept with your spouse, and that includes both conservative men, and conservative women! Figure that one out!

October 2, 2009 - 10:02 ET by black47211Fah. He's a liberal and this is what they do. No one will care unless he was a Conservative. If that were the case it would be shark chum for the LSM, and countless references to Sanford.
Who cares? Just another pop culture icon making the news.

Top Ten Reason For NOT having sex with Letterman
October 2, 2009 - 10:13 ET by Jack BauerTOP TEN REASONS WHY STAFFERS SHOULD AVOID HAVING SEX WITH DAVID LETTERMAN
1O. Paul Schaeffer is in the room rating Dave's performance
9. Your tongue can get stuck in that gap between Dave's front teeth
8. The house band gives Dave a rim shot when he's finished
7. Dave is on the phone to his mom at the same time
6. It's like being groped by a bag of bones
5. Dave makes you dress up in Sarah Palin wig and glasses, gets naked on all fours, and orders you to mush him like a Huskie.
4. He makes you watch reruns of The Late Show before, during and after the dirty deed.
3. Dave asks would you mind detailing his car before you leave?
2. He urges you to sleep with Jay Leno and boast to him that Letterman was a better lover
1. Your job depends upon your performance.

October 2, 2009 - 10:25 ET by Cool ArrowExcellent! Exactly in that order, too.
Stupidity all around
October 2, 2009 - 10:24 ET by AbraxosLetterman - for his risky, immoral infidelity that grievously hurts his wife and children.
Halderman - for thinking he could get away with extortion. Should have been satisfied with just ruining his career for no money.
The diddled women - for being homewreckers and, if Letterman goes, so goes their jobs, respect of friends and colleagues.
The studio audience - for laughing at Dave's admissions as if they were funny jokes, then applauding after he concluded his pathetic, unrepentent confession.
Letterman show fans - who think he's funny, has talent, is a victim.
CBS - for this latest confirmation that they are mostly well-dressed sleaze merchants.
This is just the beginning of Dave's woes. Next up, the tabloids will eat him and his concubines alive.

Where's the feminist outrage?
October 2, 2009 - 10:31 ET by CobraManDavid Letterman admits, on stage, before a live audience, that's he's a womanizer, and has been for years, and the audience applauds him? Where's the feminist outrage over this PUBLIC admission of wanton sexism? Of course, he's a part of the Hollywood culture, so there wont be any outrage, none whatsoever.

Re Feministas
October 2, 2009 - 12:48 ET by slickwillie2001Of course. Wasn't it the feminazis that told us that any employer-employee relationship was sexual harrassment, even if consensual, because of the intimidation factor? Wasn't it Estrich that said that? Or was it Allred?
I hope they get a comment from Sarah
October 2, 2009 - 11:31 ET by StarAZWhile he was diddling the staff--which is sexual something or other--he was impugning Palin's kids and the governor. Yicko, Dave--not very intellectually impressive and here you fancy yourself such a big brain.
Top Ten
October 2, 2009 - 11:43 ET by slickwillie2001Stolen off the internet from Jim Treacher:
Top Ten Reasons to Accept That Job Offer From David Letterman:
10. Get to find out "Worldwide Pants" refers to his breathing
9. Whenever he has trouble performing, he can always count on Paul
8. Stupid Prostate Tricks
7. Pillow talk includes fond remembrances of working with Calvert DeForest
6. "Can Jay do this? Huh? Can Jay do this?"
5. Share in wistful late-life transition from "My girlfriend doesn't understand me" to "My wife doesn't understand me"
4. Will It Rise?
3. Tries to be nice about it when he passes you off to Biff Henderson
2. "Whoops, looks like Cheney isn't the only one who shoots people in the face"
1. After the sex, he lets you keep the Palin wig

October 2, 2009 - 22:35 ET by R D HelmWhy aren't they demanding Dave be fired?
Where are their protests? Their picket signs? Their fat, double-wide behinds?
Oh, wait, Dave isn't a conservative.
Silly me, what was I thinking?
