Thousands of ethnic Albanians braved low temperatures and a cold wind in Kosovo's capital Pristina to welcome former President Bill Clinton on Sunday as he attended the unveiling of an 11-foot statue of himself on a key boulevard that also bears his name. Clinton is celebrated as a hero by Kosovo's ethnic Albanian majority for launching NATO's bombing campaign against Yugoslavia in 1999 that stopped the brutal Serb forces' crackdown on independence-seeking ethnic Albanians. This is his first visit to Kosovo since it declared independence from Serbia last year.

But on Monday night, Letterman dove back into the topic to apologize to his wife, Regina Lasko, who he said had been “horribly hurt” by the news that he had slept with women on his staff in the years leading up to their marriage in March. “Now the other thing is my wife, Regina,” Letterman said on Monday’s show, after apologizing to his staff for the unwanted attention focused on the show in the wake of the scandal.

No matter how you felt about David Letterman prior to his role in a recent extortion plot , or how you feel about him now that he’s admitted to an affair with a staffer, we can all agree on one thing: The talk show host’s public admission was gripping television. Countless celebrities have been caught in sex scandals; but we can’t recall a single one that sat for 10 minutes in front of the camera and a stunned studio audience – as the host of a comedic program, no less – and divulged the details of his affair in such a manner.
