(New York Daily News)
A former "Late Show" intern came forward Saturday to say she is one of David Letterman's former flings.
"I was madly in love with him at the time," Holly Hester told TMZ.com. "I would have married him. He was hilarious."
The NYU alum said the relationship started when Letterman asked her on a date to the movies.
A year-long, secret romance ensued, she said, until the funnyman called it off.
Letterman, 62, admitted on air Thursday night that he had affairs with female staffers, but did not name them.
He made the confession while revealing that a CBS News producers had tried to extort $2 million from him, threatening to reveal the sex secrets.
The producer, Joe Halderman, is free on $200,000 bond after pleading not guilty to the blackmail scheme.
He returned to his Norwalk, Conn., home late Friday and left briefly Saturday morning for a trip to the bank.
It was unclear if he returned to the same Bank of America branch where he deposited a phony check Letterman gave him as part of a sting operation.
Halderman, 51, was desperate and debt-ridden after a divorce from his wife.
Until recently, he was living with Stephanie Birkitt, 34, a "Late Show" staffer believed to be one of the women Letterman bedded.
Letterman - who married longtime love Regina Lasko in March - has not spoken since his on-air mea culpa and Birkitt has not been reached for comment.
