Who is Stephanie Birkitt? More like who does Stephanie think she is?

Stephanie Birkitt went from Wake University graduate to 48 Hours employee to assistant to David Letterman in more ways than one.

She has appeared on the Late Show With David Letterman an alleged 11 times, going by various nicknames as Vicky, Smitty and Kitty. Such creativity.

She began working as an intern in 2006 then worked her way up to associate producer on 48 hours before working in Letterman's office, handling his charities and Indy car racing team. She went on to interview Survivor castoffs and gave on-air reports from the sites of the Winter Olympics in 2002 and 2006. Her affair with Dave ended in 2003.

I couldn't sit through Steph's sketches. She's an awkward Plain Jane and I don't see what Dave sees in her. Regardless of my superficial preferences, it's fun to watch the former lovers interact. Observing people who've engaged in grown folk's business is always a good time when you try to figure out if you can pick up on their chemistry. Well at least I find it interesting. I'd like to think it exemplifies my love of research and my breathtaking analytical skills at work.
