Did Letterman father Ms. Gifford’s first son?

Why am I asking this question? Well, on the Letterman’s show, she says “Both my sons are doing well. The first son, YOUR son, is precocious”.

I just want to confirm this.

You must not watch Letterman much…Dave is always joking about “fathering” KL’s son…it is one of those running gags on the show.

Yes, I only watch it occasionally.

If I am not swamped with work I get home early by 11pm and watch the show. Thats pretty rare. (Incidetnly, my day starts at around noon, not 6am)
