(AP-AJC)  On Thursday, the "Late Show" host had acknowledged having sex with some of the women who worked for him, and told his viewers he was the victim of a blackmail attempt.

On "SNL," ''Weekend Update" anchor Seth Meyers dubbed the extortion attempt by a CBS News producer "a stupid human trick."

Meyers added that the would-be blackmailer was threatening to reveal embarrassing details of Letterman's personal life, then gave a joking example: "After sex, he would always say, 'Stay tuned for Craig Ferguson.'"

Letterman's fellow TV hosts Jay Leno and Jimmy Fallon are among comics who already had zinged him on their shows.

Leno kicked off his monologue Friday by declaring, "If you came here tonight for sex with a talk show host, you've got the wrong studio.

(UPH) I knoooow that I am not alone by thinking that the applauds that Letterman received from his confessions were way out of wack!  People in the American culture have just lost all morals when it comes to the institution of marriage.  Mistakes do happen but, to applaud him with the idea that he was the victim in this extortion plot??   Maybe they think that it's not a big issue that he fornicated with multiple crew members...  Maybe no one cares that he may have committed adultery on his wife...  It seems as if the mainstream has taken this as just another one of his crafty jokes.  It's just crazy to me...
