David Letterman was just busted for feeling up one of his staffers, and one university that supplies his production company with interns isn’t taking any chances that the same will happen to their students. Quinnipiac University in Connecticut, who has a long standing relationship with the show, has released a statement assuring both the media and their student’s parents of two things: 1) Their kids won’t be molested by an aging talk show host in exchange for bringing coffee to the writers room and 2) They exist.
Of course I know Quinnipiac University, I had friends who went there. However, the statement they released today seems a slightly more geared to garnering some press for the school and bragging about their impressive intern program than anything else. I mean, I’m sure at this point Letterman has his pants double belted and if he were to mess around again, it wouldn’t be with a college intern who could possibly squeal to the tabloids. The school said this to TMZ (because all elite universities welcome an open dialogue with TMZ):
“Due to recent circumstances we will have a discussion with those in charge of placing our interns at the David Letterman show in the future.
We will diligently oversee this internship program to ensure that our interns are out of harm’s way.”
So don’t worry parents! You can feel free to send your kids to good ol’ QU now! No collegiate boobies are getting touched by celebrities on their watch!
