David Letterman Apologizes to Wife During Monologue
October 06, 2009 09:10:41David Letterman is not done addressing his affair with a staff member that eventually led to an extortion plan. During his "Late Show with David Letterman" monologue for the Monday, October 5 episode, he once again talked about the sensitive issue, revealing that his wife Regina is "horribly hurt" by the story and that he has apologized to her.
CBS in fact released a preview for the episode but decided to exclude the part where he delivered his apology to Regina. "When something happens like that, if you hurt a person and it's your responsibility, you try to fix it," Letterman said on the cut segment. "And at that point, there's only two things that can happen: either you're going to make some progress and get it fixed, or you're going to fall short and perhaps not get it fixed."

Letterman Son Targeted in Kidnapping Plot
March 18, 2005 09:03:40David Letterman son and his nanny have been targeted in kidnapping plot, a 43 year old man used to be a subcontractor who had been doing some painting work at the sprawling 2,700-acre retreat in Choteau that Letterman bought in 1999, had planned to hold them for $5 million ransom. This incident happened when Letterman and the whole family were in the isolated Rocky Mountain ranch, a location which the kidnapper told his pal to know that the family will be visiting.
And the suspect, who at the end was identified as Kelly A. Frank, kept telling his friend that he also had a key to the house, knew where the baby slept and intended to kidnap the nanny "so that she could take care of the child." This unidentified friend soon reported Frank's abduct plan to the police, who tracked down him on Sunday and charged him of felony solicitation, felony theft for allegedly overcharging Letterman for painting, and a misdemeanor charge of obstruction for lying to an investigator who first contacted him about the alleged plot.
