David Letterman Hires First Female Writer

First Hollywood is ageist and then it’s sexist? This country club gets harder to join by the minute! Letterman recently hired his first female writer. Prior to the hire, both Letterman and Conan O’Brien had a total of ZERO female writers combined. Craig Ferguson and Jimmy Kimmel lead the pack with one female writer each. Here is the catch though – Ferguson’s female writer is his sister and Kimmel’s is his girlfriend. To be fair, Kimmel started dating Molly McNearney long after she joined his writing staff.
