This is an appropriate place for this guy to get a job! LOLz!

Joe Halderman, a former CBS News producer who tried to blackmail David Letterman back in '09, has just been hired on Investigation Discovery's On the Case with Paula Zahn.

As a reminder, Joe tried to extort $2 million from Dave, and he "threatened to release embarrassing details about the late night host's personal life."

Joe will work as a producer on ID's hour-long documentary crime program. Not bad for a guy who just got out of prison last year!

Here's what On the Case EP Scott Weinberger had to say about hiring Joe in a statement:

That seemed fast!

Robert Halderman, the former CBS 48 Hours producer who was sent to jail for attempted extortion of David Letterman, was released from jail after serving 4 months out of 6 month sentence.

We wonder how Dave feels about that?
