i have to start by saying i watched you on david letterman last night. one of the most amusing encounters i have seen on a talk show in years. he was so uncomfortable. he didn't know how to deal with what you were telling him, the enormity of what you had gone through. what was it like for you when you went on there? >> i had a really good time. i like dave a lot. i have always been a fan and he has a history with my family. so i wanted to go on the show. he represented a lot of people who really don't know about this issue. it gave me a great opportunity to break it down, you know, really simply kind of do a trance gender 101. i was happy to do it. >> tell me this -- when he began laughing at what you were saying and some of the audience -- not all of them. did you feel awkward when that happened? >> no, not at all. no. it's that kind of a show. you know? it's a fun show. i never felt like people were laughing at me. it was kind of a funny situation -- me and dave talking about this stuff. so, no. i had a really good time. >> it was entertaining to watc

. >> reporter: and in entertainment, scandals have enveloped david letterman, george michael, and jesse james just to name a few. so schwarzenegger can take consolation knowing he's not alone. but then when you think about it, that was the whole problem. tom foreman, cnn, washington. >> that's the what. for a closer look at the why, i spoke with dr. drew pensky. dr. drew, i've read some psychologists who say men with great power and status are more prone to affairs than the average person. is that really true? >> i think it probably is true, anderson, but it doesn't mean it's okay, and it doesn't mean the high profile or power status necessarily causes this. in fact, the research that i've done on celebrities and people in positions of power show something quite different. what it shows is the kind of person that strives to get themselves in those positions may have certain character liabilities that make them the kind of person prone to these transgressions. >> what's the correlation, the drive to achieve something and the impulse or whatever to cheat or to do stuff that's high risk? >

enough to go to the races around the country and you can pop in at any time at pit lane and see david lettermanan or last year i was standing elbow to elbow with ashley jud and had no idea who it was at the time. >> what kind of car does kim drive? >> she is driven around pretty much. but to me that is, like you said, that's where the pap is, that's where the paparazzi is going to get their great shots. how am i gonna get inside that race track. if you go to the web site there's so much information of the track layout, there is a tunnel to get you actually under the track and inside. now how many of those tickets are available let's say for saturday and monday? >> the walk arounds? >> the walk around. we have pretty good flexibility on that because we do have a 2- mile venue. again, the people that are the real race enthusiasts that want a ticketed grandstand seat are the ones that have been buying up our grand stands and frankly those are moving very quickly. i think what we'll have, enough of the sort of ground admission tickets for virtually most people who want to come. >> the walk up? >> y

pakistani comedians, some of them are going to take it and run with it, just like jay leno and david letterman beyond that, i think lit be widely dismissed. remember, a lot of people still hear don't believe bin laden is dead. those who do believe he's dead don't believe that he died in this u.s. raid. they think he died a long time ago. so i think they're going to be skeptical about this story, as well. but for obvious reasons, it's going to be in the newspapers tomorrow morning. remember, there was other men in there, as well. bin laden had his son, a 22-year-old, and there's been plenty of sons who kept stashes of pornography behind their father's back, john. >> peter, you described bin laden as a family man. what was your take on this porn story? >> reporter: i think with everything we know about bin laden, i think that this porn stash was -- i doubt it was for his personal consumption. this was a guy who barely watched television because he thinks that any kind of images, let alone pornographic images, are against islam. so this doesn't fit what we know about him. on the other hand, you k

but we live in an age where all of us report on tiger woods and david letterman and all of these philanderingoliticians. i wonder if some of those in the, quote, establishment is just too squeamish about this stuff. >> i would have thought we were way past that, quite honestly. i don't see how this is not a major story for "the wash waing post" and every major news outlet. the question might be when do they go overboard? you legitimately raised that question is when we're sort of gorging on that. this allows us to look back on the last 15 years of political and cultural history at a very fame us couple. and you frame that the way you look at them differently. you frame the way maria shriver reacted to allegations. you look at that differently. you look at "the l.a. times" breaking the story and many others writing about it and this deal arnold made with the media and "national enquirer" to squash other stories about this thing. >> let me jump in and ask you about maria shriver asking her family's privacy be respected. are the media capable of doing that in this crazy environment? >> absolutel

scott pelley talked about his upcoming role last night on "the late show" with david letterman. >> notnchorman part that i find interesting. it's the managing editor part which is coming into the office first thing in the morning, spending 10 hours working with the best journalist in the world, figuring out what we're going to cover, how we're going to cover it. if you get the first 10 hours right, the last half hour tends to work out well. >> i think you're exactly right about that. >> love his voice. pelley has worked for "60 minutes" for about 12 years now. his first day on the cbs evening news will be june 6. of course, replacing katie couric who resigned last week. >>> here we go. one steps in, another steps down. talk show host on the queen oprah winfrey signing off today after a quarter century on the air. today's episode marks the end of a three-day farewell show that included surprise celebrity appearances the last few days. show producers kept win free out of the loop when it came to guest plans for the show. winfrey has kept her plans for today's final show a secret leaving

the other time in gene and talked privately with letterman was all president. david leyton talk to in his office after the show, a producer told us. gene got all wound up. roger, he said, this could only mean one thing. he wants us to do a talk show for worldwide. as it happened, that was the night when i experienced the biggest genuine spontaneous laugh i had ever witnessed on a talk show. gene was telling a story about the time he and john wayne went into a greasy spoon at 2 a.m., and the waitress came over, saw john wayne and crossed herself. [laughter] what was the name of the movie he was making, dave asked? chisholm. chisholm, gene said. there was a moment of silence. i was sitting in the chair next to letterman. our eyes met, coupled. dave and i and the audience, and after a while even gene broke into uncontrolled laughter. this was a good omen for our new talk show. they were probably want us to move to new york, gene said, fretting. after the show a producer took us upstairs and dave surprisingly modest office. we set in two chairs facing him. i've got a pro

today we have elizabeth warren on the david letterman show.e is a regular on the jon stewart show. the entire situation has changed. these issues have gone from being boring arcane things on the inside pages on the bank publications to being front pages top headlines and even into the pop-culture. you probably know there is a rap song about elizabeth and people are urging her to run for senate. so the amount of public attention to these consumer issues in banking is unlike anything we've ever seen in our lifetime. it is a tremendous opportunity to do better than it's ever been done before with this problem of people getting into financial situations that they can't manage and are terribly harmed by which has been with us as long as money has been. we have an opportunity to leap forward today and the fed, let's face it, is going to continue to be the hundred pound gorilla in the financial regulatory sect there. the cfp b. is going to have incredible power and we shall see exactly where that goes. at this point, the fed is the big guy on the blo
