Yawn...The Late
Night
Shows Are Coming Back 
Saturday, December 29th, 2007
Yawn...If you haven't heard, the late night shows
are coming back. David Letterman and the Craig Ferguson show are
coming back with their full writing staff, after making a deal with the
union; they'll be back January 2nd. Jay Leno, Conan O'Brien, and
Jimmy Kimmel will have their shows return January 2nd without
writers.
David Letterman said in a statement:
"I am grateful
to the WGA for granting us this agreement. We're happy to be going
back to work, and particularly pleased to be doing it with our
writers. 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."
I don't watch the late
night shows, but I do support the writers' strike!
GENERAL PUBLIC
If you'd like to support the WGA members in their fight for a fair contract, here's

read.
2) Send letters to the heads of these Companies and urge them to
bargain fairly with the Writers Guild.
3) Visit Unitedhollywood.com

4) Sign the online petition in support of the WGA strike, which

Wait! There's more!
