www.variety.com/article/VR1117978232.html?categoryId=2821&cs=1The WGA and David Letterman's Worldwide Pants have reached an agreement that will allow "Late Show with David Letterman" and "Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson" to return to the air next week with their writers. Letterman-produced shows will return Wednesday, people familiar with the situation said. A rep for Worldwide Pants declined comment.
Talks between WWP and the WGA weren't looking fruitful. But that changed within the last 48 hours, sources said.
Interim agreement is the first deal struck by the WGA with a studio since the strike began last month.

Well, it looks like Letterman and Ferguson get their monologues back (if I read this correctly).

I believe Letterman is paying them out of his own WorldWide Pants production company. He's paying them himself.

Letterman is very, very into his show. He may have changed since the birth of his son, but he's said in the past the only time he's happy is the hour he's doing his show.
It's his life and that's why he's willing to get his writer's back.

Call me a cynic, but I think the only reason this is being done is because Leno and Conan are returning on January 2nd.
That's fine, though. I can watch Dave, then Conan, then watch Leno the next day on the Star Channel (Canada). I don't watch Ferguson, so whatever.
Now if only Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert follow suit, I'll be as happy as a pig in s***.
