NEW YORK (CNN) -- Late-night talker David Letterman married his longtime girlfriend, Regina Lasko, last week, according to a transcript of the taping of his Monday night show.
The wedding was at the courthouse in Choteau, Montana, on Thursday, he said, according to quotes from CBS' "Late Show with David Letterman" provided to CNN by Letterman's publicist, Tom Keaney.
"Regina and I began dating in February of 1986, and I said, 'Well, things are going pretty good, let's just see what happens in about 10 years ...," he joked during the taping.
"I had avoided getting married pretty good [sic] for, like, 23 years, and ... 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."
Lasko is a former "Late Show" staffer. The couple have a son, Harry.
Letterman told his audience that the wedding almost didn't happen after the couple, son in tow, got their pickup truck stuck in the mud on the way to the ceremony.
"So I get out of the truck and I walk two miles back to the house into a 50 mph wind. It's not Beverly Hills, it's Montana, for God's sakes,' " he said. "And the whole way, I'm thinking, 'See, smartass? See? See? You try to get married, this is what happens.' "
When he returned with a car, he said -- presumably joking -- that his son was disappointed, "because mom had told him if I wasn't back in an hour, the deal was off."

interesting - i have never seen a picture of her. boy, did she hit the mother load with that one...
Giving an old guy a son can make him do just about anything, eh?
apparently...blech. i really sincerely don't think i could bang and old guy. unless i am an old gal, which i am not. grossness.Giving an old guy a son can make him do just about anything, eh?
I've never seen a picture of her either. I was expecting her to look totally different. I don't know what I expected but I expected something different. Well good luck to them. That must be one of the longest engagements ever!
Why bother now ???
Yeah I'll agree the longest engagement ever. I guess I expected her to look a little like Larry King's wife.

I am with you on that one Guardsmom, I was expecting a totally different person too. But hey, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I guess it goes both ways for them, except she probably saw Dave sitting on a pot of gold.

Wow, NOT what I expected at all. Interesting. I'm with you, too, guardsmom.

Actually, I think she's very pretty. With her hair and make-up done by a professional she could outshine a lot of the wives out there. What a cute little boy!
Gee, that gives hope to the rest of us that it will happen.....but 23 years???? I have trouble waiting for the mail....
Why ruin a good thing by getting married?
Renowned Death Hag
I agree 100%.Why ruin a good thing by getting married?
She reminds me of the U of O professors in Oregon who look like lumberjacks. A surprise to me for a media type like Letterman.
Geez, his guests have been ribbing him about this for years! I had never seen a picture of her but I didn't expect her to look "Hollywood." I didn't think he would go for that type, somehow. I think she is pretty but then I like that natural look rather than the fake boobs, make-up, yadda yadda.
Congrats, Dave! They look like a very happy family. I hope.
So Happy For them both.. the best of luck to them and little Harry

Giada, when you said that about the professors, I thought of Monty Python:
"I'm a lumberjack, and I'm ok....."

I've been out of the US for awhile so I'm not sure--are there benefits to being married when Dave goes to the big Worldwide Pants in the sky? Will it be easier for her to collect his talkshow pension or something?Why ruin a good thing by getting married?
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]Wow, that was some huge-open-mouthed-but-totally-straight-bromance greeting. （爆）~RaRa
Well Kitty, we haven't seen a copy of the pre-nup yetI've been out of the US for awhile so I'm not sure--are there benefits to being married when Dave goes to the big Worldwide Pants in the sky? Will it be easier for her to collect his talkshow pension or something?
I have a new respect for David Letterman.

Hence my earlier post
Yeah ... I expected her to be somewhat attractive.
There. I said it.
She looks alot like his last girlfriend(Merril Markoe-I think that is how you spell her name)
Senior Death Hag
Good for them! I think being together for as long as they have is fantastic. And as for her looks, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Letterman paid his writers when they were on strike out of his own pocket. He's a class act in my book.
Renowned Death Hag
She does!
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
Wow does she ever
I'm very happy for all of them. 23 years is a long time, and I believe they're truly in love. Good for them!
I agree. Choteau, MT is just minutes north of where I live. I haven't met him personally, but a number of people I know have. We just treat as one of us. When he is seen, it's sort of an unwritten rule... don't make a big deal. He even brought Willie Nelson here for a concert not long ago.
Renowned Death Hag
Congratulations to them both! For whatever reason, they decided they were ready to take the plunge. It certainly helps protect you legally, at least in most states. Massachusetts doesn't recognize common law marriage, so 17 years ago I got married for the health insurance! I'm still married to the same guy, so I guess it worked out.
I love how one headline referred to Dave's marriage as "sudden". "Secret" or "low-key" might have been more accurate, but "sudden"? What, they didn't wait long enough and rushed into it?!
Letterman has nothing on Larry King as far as the marriages numbers go....King is on his *seventh* marriage, from 1997 to Shawn Southwick, a Mormon and friend of Marie Osmond's....she looks wayyyyyy more "done" than Letterman's wife, but I would put money that Letterman's marriage will last longer than King's.....

Sarah Palin lambasted late-night comedian David Letterman Wednesday for "sexually perverted comments" about one of her teenage daughters - and rebuffed his moves to make nice.
The CBS funnyman joked Monday of Palin's recent New York visit that "during the seventh inning, her daughter was knocked up by Alex Rodriguez."
Palin was incensed.
"Laughter incited by sexually perverted comments made by a 62-year-old male celebrity aimed at a 14-year-old girl is ... disgusting," the Alaska governor said in a statement.
The former GOP veep nominee's 14-year-old daughter, Willow, was the only Palin child to attend the game at Yankee Stadium.
Alaska's First Dude, Todd Palin, said "any 'jokes' about raping my 14-year-old are despicable."
But Letterman insisted on his show Wednesday night that he was referring to 18-year-old Bristol Palin, who recently gave birth to a son after roiling the presidential campaign with the revelation she was pregnant.
The unwed Bristol has since become a high-profile advocate for abstinence.
"We were, as we often do, making jokes about people in the news," Letterman said.
"These are not jokes made about her 14-year-old daughter. I would never, never make jokes about raping or having sex of any description with a 14-year-old girl," he added.
"Am I guilty of poor taste? Yes. Did I suggest that it was okay for her 14-year-old daughter to be having promiscuous sex? No," Letterman said.
The ratings-conscious comedian even made Palin an offer: "I would like you to consider coming to New York City - you and Todd as my guests, or leave Todd at home - I'd love to have you on the show. It'd be exciting."
Don't set the TiVo.
"It doesn't matter whether he was talking about Willow or Bristol, what he said was unacceptable," responded Palin spokeswoman Sharon Leighow.
Palin was in New York to receive an award for her advocacy for children with disabilities. Her family was invited to Sunday's Yankees game by former Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

When is she going away? PLEASE?
Renowned Death Hag
Had Rush Limbaugh made this joke we would never hear the end of it.
I remember when the Clintons were praise over the fact that they defended Chelsea from attacks.
BY the way, isn't Chelsea pushing 30 now and last year it was considered tasteless to ask Chelsea questions about her mother's credibility after the Monica thing.
Something about it being wrong to ask a child this question.
She was there as a spokesperson for her mother wasn't she.
Where was Letterman then?

I wouldnt be surprised if Sarah Palins 14 year old daughter is sexually active.
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.
You think?!
Letterman has never been know for his tact. That is what makes him so damn funny. It was all in jest and I don't believe for one minute he was talking about Palin's 14 year old. When you thrust your pregnant, unwed daughter into the spotlight, you better be prepared for the aftermath.
Couldn't have said it any better !!
Exactly
Let's see here: An unwed teenager who gets knocked up makes for a perfect spokesperson on abstinence? Oh yes!
They will grab any chance they can get to hop back in to the spotlight.
If the Palins hadn't responded to Letterman's joke, most people wouldn't even have thought twice about it.
Exactly. Letterman's joke was in poor taste and he rightfully should be called out for it. And as a mother of a daughter, had someone made a joke like that about her I'd come out fighting like a mother bear too. Good for Sarah.
Uh...yes, the perfect person for the job, actually.Let's see here: An unwed teenager who gets knocked up makes for a perfect spokesperson on abstinence? Oh yes!

Who's sara palin? I never heard of her before. hmm I guess it would mean more if I knew. :O(
Renowned Death Hag
I wouldn't be surprised if she's pregnant as well.
He's a comic and she's a public person. Whoop de fuckin doo!!
Hate it for ya, Palin!
Renowned Death Hag
I feel that while Letterman made a tasteless joke, Sarah Palin should be able to take it. Afterall she IS the one who exposed those kids from the beginning. The oldest son was smart. He enlisted and went to Iraq the first chance he got.
Wanna see my grandkids?
