In continued efforts to smooth over the extortion scandal, David Letterman apologized to his wife Regina Lasko on TV.

She was “horribly hurt by my behavior,” he said, and added that the affairs were over and that he had his work cut out for him to fix the relationship.

As usual, he lightened the mood with jokes, saying not even GPS would talk to him, and “This is only phase one of the scandal. Phase two: Next week I go on ‘Oprah’ and sob.”

I’m sure Regina appreciates the jokes.
