David Letterman and Regina Lasko's relationship has not been without ups and downs. In 2009, the now-retired talk show host discussed his affairs with the women who worked for him.

The extorter was later arrested, and David testified before a grand jury. He admitted that it would have been embarrassing if the individual had come out with the information.
My response to that is, yes, I have. Would it be embarrassing if it were made public? Perhaps it would...I feel like I need to protect these people - I need to certainly protect my family.
David's previous girlfriend, Merrill Markoe, who he dated for about ten years, was also his staffer. She worked as the show's head writer and producer. Markoe was still in a relationship with David when he started dating his other employee, Regina Lasko.
