David Letterman -- who made headlines earlier this year after cheating on his wife with his assistant -- poked fun at Tiger Woods' infidelity on his Late Show Monday, his first new show after a week of repeats.
Letterman, 62, joked that he wished the golfer, 33, would stop calling him to ask for advice.

"Boy, it looks like that Tiger Woods is having some trouble, huh?" said Letterman as he puffed his cheeks out.
Remember these crazy star scandals?
Letterman joked that if Woods' situation had happened three months ago, he'd "have material for a year."

"President Obama is sending troops to Afghanistan," Letterman said. "Hell, he ought to be sending them to Tiger Woods' house."
Look back at Tiger Woods' scandal-ridden week
His Top Ten centered around "ways Tiger Woods can improve his image. (Cracked Letterman, "Maybe I can learn a little something myself.")
The No. 1 way Tiger can improve his image? "Blame Letterman," the host said.
Tell Us What You Think
30It is unjust that the American people are enabling Letterman to make a living anymore. He has no morals,no religion, very little talent except through his writers and WE, still let him make a living off of us. He and Tiger need to both go flip burgers for a while and become thankful for what opportunites they have. Tiger does have a talent but Letterman is useless. He would be off the air if his network depended on my family for an audience.
Ah, they're both losers
Uh. These are very different situations. Letterman stayed unmarried a long, long time, likely because he was a player in his younger years and later because he was not ready to give up his relationship with Stephanie Burkitt. Apparently, he attempted to do the right thing and failed after he became a father and married. On the other hand, before and after he married, Woods sought kinky sex (sometimes without protection!?!) with porn stars and assorted trashy women. Lots of them and often simultaneously. He took idiotic risks, showed terrible judgment, and basically self-destructed with his rich man's appetite and sense of entitlement.
now that is the pot calling the kettle black...please...both of them should be ashamed.
Some of you have no sense of right and wrong.No sense of humor .No sense of the facts . No sense of what is real and not real. Letterman met his wife 20 something yrs.ago as she was on his staff. He is not and never been a role model for no body. I am sure Regina knew that during those 20 yrs. it was not just her. They have been married for like 5 yrs. She got pregnant. He wanted a child. He played around a lot. It is unclear if it was before or after marrying her. It is wrong to play around on your spouse ,esp if they are innocent like Elin and not part of an open marriage. I think Letterman and Regina,who knows. Dave is a comic. He laughs at hismelf and others and things. Comedians do this. We,humans,find humor through pain as a coping meganism sometimes. The two mask of the theater-Laughter and Pain.
Mr. Letterman, you should be ashamed of yourself.
Regardless of Dave and Tiger's individual situations, a lot of people still take marriage and commitment very seriously -even in this day and age of saying otherwise- and there are plenty of people who have been deeply hurt by infidelity and it's sad that to Dave, this is simply more material for making jokes.
"Some of you people need to take that stick out of your A$$ and get a sense of humour." This is not a laughing matter, Einstein.
Two cowards.
What is it supposed to mean by David Letterman was not married at time of his affairs? Commited relationships mean something. He was in a relationship already. Cheating is cheating.
letterman fessed up about his indiscretions---plus he was not married at the time he was screwing around with other women.
Some of you people need to take that stick out of your A$$ and get a sense of humour. He was making a joke, that is his job. As for Elin, I believe she knew along Tiger was a cheater, she is just embarressed now that the whole world knows it too.
David is another jerk who took his missters and wife in the same vacation.
I'm surprised Dave went on so about TIGER's infidelity. Is Dave really out of hot water with HIS own wife? That jerk even had his mistress come along the same trip. Really Dave, really!?!? You're a jerk!
At least he wasn't a wuss by avoiding jokes on Tiger.
Well if that ain't the pot calling the kettle black:-0 When you have a society driven by taboo sexual content and force feeding it at every outlet what can you expect! Sodom and G for the 21st Century:-( You can't easily teach great morals when the sexindustry controls your nation, get rid of that industry (nothing in the Constitution should be protective of this lot) and maybe the world will turn around or at least America! People are willing to destroy their lives and those around them for 15 minutes of personal pleasure, very very sad indeed.
Letterman is not on tv to "show respect" to anyone. He is a comedian and has a talk show. It may be a "serious matter for Elin and the children" but it's funny as hell to me.
Hello he's a comedic talk show host. Meaning he's joking, poking fun, not only at Tiger but himself as being what you agree them to be, jerks! It's called a sense of humor, it actually helps the human spirit and is known to help stressful situations. Soemtimes I think you all are just a bunch of grumpy people who only like a G-rated knock knock joke.
Two peas in a pod. Dave doesn't get it. Both men have caused a lot of hurt. Leno has a hobby maybe that is the secret.
I saw this show and Letterman handled the topic extremely deftly. He absolutely did not judge, was totally self-deprecating and, as usual, it was hilarious. Who better to comment on the Woods debacle than Letterman??? Woods is a public figure, just like Letterman. His monologue had nothing to do with Woods wife/kids. To avoid commenting on Woods because he's ultra-rich and peerless in pro golf would have been worse than Dave's very appropriate commentary. Grow up, haters.
