It has been nearly two months since the latenight talk shows went dark because of the writer's strike. Now Worldwide Pants has cut a deal with the Writers Guild of America. That means David Letterman and Craig Ferguson can both return to the air with their writers. Worldwide Pant's owns both Letterman's show and Craig Ferguson's show.
The other shows are going to try it without any writers which means the jokes aren't going to be as good. It also means it is going to be very difficult for them to get celebrities on their shows. The Screen Actors Guild has been behind the WGA in the strike and actors aren't going to want to cross picket lines to appear on any of the shows that don't have a deal with the WGA. This include Jay Leno, Jimmy Kimmel and Conan O'Brien as well as John Stewart and Stephen Colbert.
