Robert Joel Halderman, a producer on "48 Hours", decided that, for the rest of his life, he no longer wanted to work for a living and therefore proceeded to blackmail David Letterman for two million dollars. All I can say is that the fellow must have some money put aside because two million would fall very short of seeing me through and I would require at least that much annually with sporadic cost-of-living increases.
The second thing that struck me in all of this is that Halderman was covering his action by pretending that he was offering a (one page) screenplay for sale to Letterman. For two million dollars and there is no mention of ancillary, sequel, spin-off or merchandising rights?! Where has this man been all his life?
