• Drew Barrymore on CBS' The Early Show: "I hope I didn't start anything by jumping on his desk, I've always had fun there, it's an unfortunate situation. I am no one to comment on it. I wish them the best."

• Donny Deutsch on "Morning Joe": "We kind of have to draw a distinction between what happens in the workplace that is consensual and what is predatory ... For us to put our heads in the sand where CEOs have relationships that can be love affairs, that can be productive ...

• InTouch Weekly's Tom O'Neill on CNN's "American Morning: "Let's be honest. You don't think of David Letterman as a sexual object. But on the other hand he's the classic bohemian. He's a rascal. If this happened to Jay Leno, it might be damaging, but how damaging is it with Letterman's audience?"
