Did David Letterman ruin his image? Experts weigh in

Lettermen announced on his show the other night that there is a "2 million dollar extortion attempt by a man who offered proof of the late-night host's relationships with female staff members". So what do you make of this? For all of us who watch Lettermen, we know he can be a bit of a creep sometimes but that's part of the funny role he performs nightly. But has he taken it too far? After being accused, Lettermen dealt with this problem in the best way he could. He addressed it right away, making his audience more comfortable for his upfront approach. Granted, they were taken a little off guard because this kind of comment veers away from his usual joking attitude, but putting it out there right away was exactly the right thing to do. So is this just another scandal that surfaces daily in pop culture? I'm sure it is. Viewers will be sure to move onto the next one in no time.
