Letterman Reaches Into His Worldwide Pants Pockets

Nikki Finke reported yesterday in her "Deadline Hollywood" column in the LA Weekly that David Letterman told his Late Show staff that they will be paid through the end of the year, even though the show isn't on the air during the writers strike. "Dave's not doing this to get good press," a source told her, "which is why it hasn't been reported for almost two days. This is really significant because, as opposed to all of the other shows, this money comes out of Dave's own pocket."
