So we're faced 2 months of reruns but that is about to end. David Letterman will be back with writers in tow.As of January 2nd he will be back on the air.
David said in a statement that “I am grateful to the WGA for granting us this agreement. We’re happy to be going back to work, and particularly pleased to be doing it with our writers. This is not a solution to the strike, which unfortunately continues to disrupt the lives of thousands. But I hope it will be seen as a step in the right direction.”
Meanwhile, doubts have been raised about whether their shows will face a problem booking A-list guests, who may not be willing to cross a picket line.
An interim agreement with the WGA will allow the entire writing staffs for "Late Show with David Letterman" and also the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson" to return to work even though the strike would continue on.
Jimmy Kimmel, Jay Leno and Conan O'Brian will also resume production but without writers. Jay Leno will just skip his opening monologue and go right to his interviewing.
