Letterman Adds A Female Staff Writer

The New York Times reports that longtime staff member and writers’ assistant Jill Goodwin has been hired as a staff writer on CBS’ Late Show with David Letterman.

Amid the Letterman scandal that emerged last fall, it became known that the writers’ rooms of late night comedy shows like Letterman’s, as well as those of Jay Leno’s show and Conan O’Brien’s Tonight Show, were occupied entirely by men.
