LATE NIGHT SHOWS RETURN

WRITERS STRIKE
All of the late night talk shows returned last night after two months away because of the writer's strike. David Letterman, who's now sporting a beard, has all of his writers because he was able to strike a deal with their union. Leno, Kimmel and Conan O'Brien (who also has a beard) don't have any of their writers. Letterman had the best guest last night, Robin Williams, most likely because stars aren't afraid to come on since he made a deal with the union. Leno had a very boring interview with presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, while Kimmel, who didn't have a monologue, had Andy Dick as a guest. Leno did have a monologue last night, which he admitted he wrote. This could be a problem since it violates strike rules of one of his unions, the Writers Guild of America. Needless to say, things could get interesting in late night as the strike looms on. Look for Letterman to get all the good guests and the others to struggle.
