TV Personality

The Resume

    (January 7, 1975- )
    Born in Plymouth, New Hampshire
    Personal assistant to David Letterman
    Frequent appearances on The Late Show (2001-09)
    Co-hosts 'The Tony Mendez Show' on the Late Show's website

Why she might be annoying:

    She briefly worked at '48 Hours' before deciding she was not 'much of a news hound.'
    Letterman constantly called her 'Monty' and 'Smitty' on the air.
    In one recurring bit, she asked Survivor castoffs, 'Did you see or touch any monkeys?'
    She slept with her boss.
    Her live-in boyfriend, producer Joe Halderman, used her diaries to try to blackmail Letterman.
    We desperately hope that sleeping with the boss played no role in Chris Elliott or Larry 'Bud' Melman getting their roles on Letterman's shows.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She attended the Benjamin Cardozo N. School of Law and passed the New York and Connecticut bar exams (2009).
    Her sexual relationship with Letterman reportedly ended in 2003, before the birth of his son.
    She was reportedly neither involved in nor aware of the extortion plot.
    She said, 'Dave is truly the greatest boss I could ever have.'
