Joe Halderman -- the man accused of trying to extort $2 million from David Letterman -- was spotted at a Connecticut train station this morning, allegedly heading to NYC.
The camera guy asks Halderman how he's doing -- we can't tell if he says "Hey," "Great" or something else.
FYI -- Halderman has pled not guilty to the felony charge of attempted grand larceny in the first degree.

When David Letterman's company drew up the rules and regs for interns, who knew a double entendre of epic proportions would eventually surface?
TMZ has obtained the "Late Show" Intern Packet from 2002. In the "Welcome" packet, Worldwide Pants explains, "Things might seem overwhelming at first. There are many names, faces and departments you'll need to know. If you get confused, ask questions, no one here bites."
"...no one here bites."
And this is a little cheesy: "LATE SHOW t-shirts, sweatshirts and caps are not easily accessible. Please don't assume that because you are part of the show, you are entitled to them. Things will come to you in time; be patient."
By the way, in 2002, Stephanie Birkitt was already Dave's assistant.

David Letterman may have violated CBS rules on bosses having relationships with their employees, but there's a catch -- Dave doesn't work for CBS.
CBS has guidelines on the conduct of its employees -- the Business Conduct Statement. TMZ has a copy of a provision titled "Supervisor/Subordinate Relationships." It reads:
"CBS recognizes that consenting romantic or sexual relationships may develop between a supervisor and a subordinate (whether such supervision is direct or indirect). These relationships frequently lead to complications and significant difficulties for the supervisor, the subordinate, others in the workplace, and CBS. If a consenting romantic or sexual relationship between a supervisor and a direct or indirect subordinate should develop, CBS requires the supervisor to disclose this information to his or her Company's Human Resources Department to ensure that there are no issues of actual or apparent favoritism, conflict of interest, sexual harassment, or any other negative impact on others in the work environment."
The Statement continues: "Upon being informed or learning of the existence of such a relationship, CBS will take steps that it deems appropriate to protect the workplace environment."
That said .... Dave is not an employee of CBS. He's employed by Worldwide Pants (WWP), his production company. WWP says, "We have a written policy in our employee manual that covers harassment. It is circulated to every employee every year. Dave is not in violation of our policy and no one has ever raised a complaint against him."
We do not know if WWP has a policy of requiring employees to disclose relationships with subordinates.
We contacted CBS but the company declined comment.

Walking out to more applause than usual, David Letterman opened tonight's "Late Show" by taking three shots at himself in less than a minute!
Among the zingers, Dave told the audience, "I got into the car this morning and the navigation lady wasn't speaking to me."
Things take a more serious turn later in the monologue -- where Dave reportedly apologizes to his wife for his affairs. CBS is keeping that part under wraps until tonight.

Barack Obama went on Letterman and all he got was this heart-shaped potato.
Before touching on health care, Afghanistan and a number of other topics, the Commander In Chief was randomly given a potato by a member of the audience.
He was also asked by Dave if he believes racism was the reason for recent political attacks. His classic response: "I was actually Black before the election." Who knew?!

They're finally divorced, but that doesn't mean Anne Heche is done dragging her baby daddy through the mud -- and last night on Letterman, she let loose.
Heche repeatedly slammed ex-hubby Coley Laffoon, calling him a "lazy ass" whose greatest achievement was getting a gig coaching soccer. Heche also told Dave -- and the rest of the country -- that Coley won't leave her alone.
Heche -- who accused Lafoon of chronic masturbation during their nasty custody battle -- now pays her ex $3,700 a month in child support.
The best part -- Heche busted out an impression of what she thinks Coley looks like when he gets the monthly check ... priceless.

The leader of Conan O'Brien's house band just failed to auction off his baby blue, 1957 Chevrolet Corvette convertible -- which is probably a good thing, because WHO THE HELL would want to get rid of it?!?
Max Weinberg -- also of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band fame -- tried to sell his super sweet ass ride at the Hamptons Auto Classic in NY this weekend. Organizers were hoping to get $150,000 for it -- instead they got $0.
Don't feel too bad Max -- of the 68 cars that were up for auction at the event, only 12 sold.

The day before Britney dropped the divorce bombshell, she showed up at "The Late Show." Looking hot and not wearing a wedding ring, Britney told Letterman she was a huge fan ... of Will Ferrell's. 
Carrie Underwood should watch her back at any event Faith Hill attends. Video of Faith's less then sporting conduct has to be seen to be believed. Maybe Faith and Kanye should take some humility classes together.
