The CNN anchor's date with Lewinsky in December 1997 -- one month before her affair with President Bill Clinton was exposed -- was depicted on last night's episode. Tapper famously wrote about their date in the Washington City Paper in a January 1998 story titled "I Dated Monica Lewinsky." On Tuesday, Tapper interviewed Lewinsky on his CNN show. "First of all, Monica: Yes, I have to disclose — full disclosure — in tonight's episode, our G-rated date from December 1997 ... is portrayed," Tapper began his segment, prompting a laugh from Lewinsky. After Lewinsky noted that the pair had only gone out on "one date," Tapper joked that the actor portraying him in Impeachment is "way better looking than me now or then." "No," Lewinsky assured Tapper.
