Trivia bit here: Paul Schaeffer is from Thunder Bay, Ontario!

Loved the Top Ten list, RICHARD. But I admire Dave for nipping a lot of the flack in the bud, so to speak, by telling it up front.

Late Show staffer Stephanie Birkitt...reportedly dated Halderman, the alleged blackmailer, and told Halderman of a relationship she had with Letterman prior to his marriage to Lasko. Birkitt is reportedly "mortified" that her ex-boyfriend allegedly used that information to blackmail Letterman.
So Dave was dating his wife-to-be at the time. As reported, they married last March.
Birkitt, a 1997 graduate of Wake Forest University, interned in the writers' department at the "Late Show" in 1996.
