Woot! Letterman and Ferguson Returning with Writers in Tow
Today’s breaking news comes just in time to infuse the weekend with loads of joy and anticipation. After finally striking an interim deal with the Writers Guild of America, Worldwide Pants, the production company that David Letterman owns, announced today that both the Late Show with David Letterman and the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson will return to the CBS airwaves next Wednesday, fully prepared and authorized to carry on as always.
Letterman expressed his understandable relief and appreciation with the comment, “I am grateful to the WGA for granting us this agreement. 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.”
Well, the development is certainly a move in the right direction for the two CBS shows because only they will now be able to produce fresh material. All of the other late-night yakkers are forbidden to incorporate newly written content into their own shows since they have no similar agreement with the WGA.
And the strike havoc continues with a brief respite of exceedingly good news…
