Late Night TV Back On


David Letterman and Craig Ferguson return tonight with their writers. Jay Leno, Conan O'Brien and Jimmy Kimmel return without their writers. While I am a longtime Letterman watcher, it would be interesting to see what it would be like for those without writers. I'm sure it will be covered endlessly the next day on tv and the web.

Apparently Presidential candidate Huckabee isn't sure who has their writers.

Meanwhile, GOP hopeful Huckabee appeared confused over which of the two late-night hosts had reached a separate deal with the union representing striking TV and movie writers.

Huckabee said he supports the writers and did not think he would be crossing a picket line, because he believed the writers had made an agreement to allow late-night shows on the air. That's not the case with Leno, and pickets outside Leno's Burbank, Calif., studio targeted Huckabee.

Although the most surprising thing in the article:

O'Brien's audience is down 29 percent from last season and he's been running virtually neck and neck with Ferguson: O'Brien has 1.8 million viewers, Ferguson 1.7 million. Now Ferguson returns with writers and O'Brien without.


Wow. I find Conan much funnier than that other guy.
