Shortly before the New Year started, David Letterman and hisproduction companywere able to stike a deal with the WGA to bring back his show, as well as Craig Ferguson's, with their writers. His return happens tonight. Other late night hosts, like Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien, are retuning tonight as well, but without their writers in order to employ their non-writing staff.
Can the deal made by Letterman and the WGA help to inspire the AMPTP and the WGA to strike a deal and bring an end to the nearly two-month strike?
We'll have to see to find out.
