Letterman’s Show Returning With Writers

Here’s some news for you from one of the funniest men (with writers) on television in New York, or, anywhere else for that matter…

If you’ve been missing your late night shows, the new year will bring you a gift in the form of fully scripted delights from the cast and crew at the Late Show with David Letterman.

NEW YORK — After eight weeks of reruns, David Letterman should be in a joking mood next Wednesday: Not only does he join his late-night brethren back on the air, but he’ll have his writers backing him up.

So Dave was the last to announce his return. Big deal _ now the joke’s on Jay, Conan and the other writer-less hosts.

An interim agreement with the Writers Guild of America will allow the full writing staffs for “Late Show with David Letterman” as well as “Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson” to return to work, even as the Hollywood writers strike continues to shutter much TV and movie production. It could prove to be a huge advantage for both these CBS late-night shows, which are produced by the Letterman-owned Worldwide Pants.
