In his three-decades-long career in entertainment, he has become perhaps the most influential comedy talk show personality. Rumors have it, the main cause of his retirement is a promise made to his wife, Regina back in 2009.
The promise was probably made because he had an affair with Stephanie Birkitt, a staff member of the "Late Show". Even though the affair took place before Letterman and Regina got married, the scandal upset her. Ever since Lasko has maintained a low profile.
David famously announced his affair with Stephanie on his show in 2009. Reportedly, he was blackmailed to do so. About the damage done to Regina and his relationship because of his announcement, he said:
"Because you think an explosion has taken place and you’re looking at the shards and you say, ‘Well, can we put this back together?’ ” Letterman said. “And by God, maybe you can put it back together. And maybe it won’t be the same, but maybe it will be different, and maybe it can even be better in a different way.”
