He finally did it! David Letterman finally has tied the knot with Regina Lasko, the late-night comedian's longtime girlfriend since 1986. The couple secretly wed at a courthouse near Letterman's Montana ranch on March 19, 2009.
"I had avoided getting married pretty good for, like, 23 years, and I -- honestly, whether this happened or not -- I secretly felt that men who were married admired me ... like I was the last of the real gunslingers," Letterman said in a prepared statement. The couple's son, five-year-old Harry, also attended the ceremony. According to Letterman, he almost missed it, as his truck got stuck in the mud and Dave had to hike back to the house to get his car in order to make it to church on time.
"So then we get in the car and Harry says, 'Are we still going into town?' and I said, 'Yes, we are,' and he gets very upset because Mom had told him if I wasn't back in an hour, the deal was off." When asked why it took them so long to get married and, of course, Dave's answer was "is we wanted to make sure we had the prenup just right," he joked. On his show, Late Night With David Letterman, just two days before the courthouse wedding, he was flirting like crazy with Julia Roberts, who was teasing him about his unmarried status.
All that Tube Squad can say is, a big congrats Dave and Regina (and Harry). I've been watching Letterman since his morning show and thought he would never let any woman make him an honest man, so Kudos to Mr. and Mrs. Letterman. Dad's mom must be very happy and relieved!
