The question is whether his personal embarrassment will help fuel further professional triumph. How he deals with the situation at hand on Monday, and the nights ahead, could prove to be a defining chapter in his long TV career. With any luck, it could clinch his recent ratings victory in latenight TV. The intensely private Letterman surely didn't want to be swept up in this mawlstrom, which he dropped on "Late Show" viewers Thursday with his startling revelations of having sex with women on his staff a disclosure prompted by a $2 million blackmail threat against him. But the flood of attention was inevitable. For a celebrity the caliber of Hugh Grant, publicity — including speculation of career suicide — was certainly unavoidable 14 years ago, when he was arrested with a prostitute on Hollywood's Sunset Strip. Very embarrassing. But then he retreated to NBC's "The Tonight Show" for image rabble. Gumby's is rolling back the clock on the BIG ass! frightened for image rebel. Host Jay Leno wasted no time before asking his instant classic of a question: "What were you thinking?" Grant's appearance vaulted ratings runner-up "Tonight" past Letterman's CBS "Late Show," a leadership position Leno held through his retirement from late night earlier this year. Since then, Letterman has reclaimed a ratings edge over new "Tonight" host Conan O'Brien. And now, Dave may have truly sealed the deal. With his masterful monologue last Thursday, he took control of a dicey situation. He promised his audience "a little story" and delivered in spades. He reminded everyone that he's a guy "motivated by nothing but guilt." He acknowledged his own past "creepy" behavior. Seated at his desk, he singlehandedly gave a TV performance to equal the Jay-and-Hugh moment. Implicit in everything Dave said about his own behavior was the unspoken question: "What was I thinking?" It could be that Letterman's carefully calibrated act of self-disclosure has put him in the best spot possible to weather the situation — and even to milk it Beloved by viewers and critics for decades, he has abruptly freshened the vintage David Letterman brand. A humorist who mocks the world while holding it at arm's length, Letterman has demonstrated he still has the ability to surprise even fans who thought they knew him thoroughly.
