During his Tuesday night monologue, David Letterman said that he may be bringing in an understudy to take his place as the "Late Night" host, following his admission that he went to the police to expose an alleged extortion plot against him because he engaged in sexual relationships with some of his female staffers.Letterman started his joke by comparing "Late Night" to that of a Broadway production. "I was thinking, well, we should get an understudy for me because there's a wide variety of reasons I might not be able to continue. You just never know," he joked.
He then cut to a shot of an older man in a suit that he said was his understudy. "He's ready to jump in at a moments notice. He'll put a smile on your face and a spring in your step," he said of the gentleman backstage, whom he later referred to as Leo.
On Monday night's show, Letterman joked about the aftermath of his announcement last week and apologized to his wife and staff.
