David Letterman Apologizes To Lindsay Lohan’s Family: ‘Hope I Didn’t Embarrass You’

Video
» 3 comments

As the final chapter to the thrilling saga of whether celebrity-in-peril Lindsay Lohan would or would not appear on David Letterman‘s talk show, Letterman last night admitted he was “duped” and offered an apology that his audience likely found more enjoyable than if Lohan had actually appeared to read a “Top Ten” list.

Letterman described the incident as some “guy” calling him after he joked about Lohan stealing a Grammy award (since Lohan faces criminal charges for theft), and the “guy” said “Lindsay thought that joke was hilarious – she wants to be on your show.” Some reports suggest that Lindsay’s father Michael Lohan was the culprit. Letterman said “I have no one to blame but myself and boy is my face red.”

The humorous mea culpa concluded with Letterman stating, “and by the way, now I need to apologize to the Lindsay Lohan family. I hope I didn’t embarrass you Lindsay, and your family.” The jovial tone enabled Letterman to come across sincere, while the crowd was laughing knowing that this little incident is probably the least embarrassing situation Lindsay has found herself involved with in years.

    David Letterman doesn’t even know how to spell “apologize”.
    He didn’t apologize to to the Lohan family (not that they deserved any apology), but instead made a stupid joke about it.
    He did the same thing about Sarah Palin’s daughter, whom he insulted worse than Don Imus did to the Rutgers ladies basketball team. At least Imus had the decency to seriously apologize.

    David Letterman is going all nuts because he’s losing his sexuality. He’s obsessed with Sarah Palin.
    He thinks about her when he’s having sex with his wife.
    He thinks about her when he’s having sex with himself.
    He thinks about her when he’s having sex with the women who work for him and don’t know if they will keep their jobs if they refuse him.

    What a “classy” guy!!

    This marks the FIRST time someone who is not a Lohan has succeeded in causing embarrassment to Lindsay Lohan.

    Also: isn’t Dave’s booker Marci Klein, Calvin’s daughter?
