She also worked on the production of two episodes of Another World (1991). Regina worked on the production of Late Night with David Letterman (6th and 7th Anniversary) from 1987 to 1989.

2. She Wasn’t David Letterman’s First Love

David Letterman was first with his college sweetheart Michelle Cook from 1968 to 1977. They divorced in October of 1977 and then he proceeded to start a relationship with Merrill Markoe.

Markoe was David’s former head writer and producer of his show. However, while still dating Merrill, David started a relationship with Regina Lasko in February of 1986.

After calling off his relationship with Markoe, David then proceeded to have over two decade’s relationship with Lasko.

3. Letterman’s Cheating Scandal

About 6 months after David and Regina finally sealed their relationship by getting married, the couple received a package.

In September of 2009, the couple found a package with a note in their car. David faced accusations of cheating with the female staff of his show.

The accusations came with blackmail. The blackmailer requested the sum of $2 million in order not to reveal everything about his cheating spree.

David Letterman then revealed this attempted blackmail to his audience by the filming of his next show.

Letterman sought legal help with the situation and resolved to send the blackmailer a fake cheque of $2 million.

It was later revealed that the blackmailer was the ex-boyfriend of one of David’s assistants named Joe Halderman. The assistant and ex-girlfriend’s name was Stephanie.

Joe got the details of David and his ex-girlfriend’s affair after reading a detailed narration in the diary kept by Stephanie.

Joe was arrested and sentenced to 6 months in prison on the charge of extortion.

4. Regina Lasko Nearly Lost Her Son

David Letterman and Regina had a child before they got married. The couple welcomed their son named Harry Joseph Letterman on the 3rd of November 2003. Harry Joseph is named after his grandfather.

He was born 6 years before Regina and David got married.

While still a few months old, there was a kidnap plot on him. A former staff of Regina and David named Kelly Frank plotted to kidnap Harry Joseph Letterman for a ransom of $5 million.

This plan was foiled when his friend with whom he shared the plan, alerted the police about it. Kelly Frank was then arrested and sentenced to 10 years in prison. Although he escaped and was added an extra ten years, he was reportedly released by 2018.

5. Regina Is A Supportive Wife

Even in the midst of the affairs, cheating rumors, and scandals, Regina Lasko was still with her husband. Although, as expected, it wasn’t a decision she was happy about, she still stuck with him.

She, however, did not welcome the revelations with open arms and she most likely did not smile about it. She definitely took several slides back and was away from her husband’s side in public for a while. However, she did not speak ill of her husband to the press.

There was so much she had to deal with at the time and even amidst the whole affair scandal. She had to deal with her husband’s schizophrenic stalker named Margaret Mary Ray, as well.

However, Regina did not end her marriage to David. After a while, she forgave him and remained his loving and supportive wife.
