“I don’t have a show, so lemme just come out and ruin yours,” David Letterman expressed during his return to his old stomping grounds on Late Night on Wednesday (May 23).
The 71-year-old entertainer was in attendance to promote his Netflix show, My Next Guest Needs No Introduction, but ended up joking about President Trump and gifting Seth Meyers a live tick.
“I got something for you, buddy,” David said, before bringing out a Ziplock bag containing the pest he plucked off his back. “Anybody here have Lyme disease? I’m doing this to promote epidemiological health and awareness because the Lyme disease and the ticks are everywhere. I’ve had Lyme disease… probably got it now!”
“You look like a guy who would have it,” Seth joked – Watch here!

“Based on listening to the NYT interview and hearing people’s thoughts online, I realize that I was wrong here. I sound like I’m condoning yelling at work. I do not. It sounds like I’m excusing Jeffery. I do not. It sounds like I’m insensitive to Jessica. I am not,” he wrote on Wednesday (May 24) on Twitter.
“In fact, I’m horrified that I wasn’t more aware of how this incident affected her. I was so eager to let Jeffrey know that he was supported in his attempt to learn, grow and apologize that I completely underestimated the feelings of the victim, another person I deeply love – and she was sitting right there! I’m incredibly embarrassed and deeply sorry to have done that to Jessica. This is a big learning moment for me. I shouldn’t have tried so hard to mansplain, or fix a fight, or make everything okay. I should’ve focused more on what the most important.”
“Part of it all is – there’s never any excuse for abuse, in any form, from any gender. And, the victim’s voice needs to be heard and respected. Period. I didn’t say that and instead said a bunch of other stuff and not very well. I deeply, and sincerely, apologize,” he added.

Morgan Freeman is being accused of inappropriate behavior.
In a report published by CNN on Thursday (May 24), several people came forward to allege they were victims of harassment or inappropriate behavior from the 80-year-old actor.
In the report, two people, including a production assistant on Going In Style, said they were subjected to unwanted touching. The production assistant claimed he made “comments about her figure and clothing on a near-daily basis,” and that he would “rest his hand on her lower back or rub her lower back.”
She also said he “kept trying to lift up my skirt and asking if I was wearing underwear.”
In another instance, an entertainment reporter and member of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association said that he “made comments about her skirt and her legs during two different junkets.”
As with several other women featured in the article, she said “Freeman’s fame and power kept her from speaking out.”
CNN reported that they reached out to Morgan‘s spokesperson for comment “and then, at his request, emailed him a detailed list of the accusations against Freeman. The spokesperson did not respond to multiple follow-ups by email seeking comment on the accusations.”
Cristiano Ronaldo and his girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez got in some much needed R&R in the sun this week in Ibiza. Cristiano showed off his sculpted shirtless body while Georgina put her body on display in a bikini. Check out all the sexy pics...
Mindy Kaling made an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday (May 23) and talked all about how she tried to convince attendees at the 2018 Met Gala that she and Chadwick Boseman were together.
“He was sitting next to me, and I felt like I kept kind of trying to make it seem like we were together ‘cause he didn’t have a date,” the 38-year-old actress explained to Jimmy.
“I pretended we had all these private jokes and things like that,” Mindy added. “He thought it was weird. But I was like, whatever, I’m wearing a crown. It’s fine.”
“I felt like someone could look at us and think like ‘OK, he plays a king. She looks like a queen,” Mindy said. “They’re the king and queen of some really b-tching Third World country.’”
