Looks like the earlier reports are true: the late night talk shows are on their way back, even if the WGA strike isn’t over.
NBC announced this morning that both Jay Leno’s show and Late Night with Conan O’Brien will return to the schedule with new episodes starting January 2. The shows will come back without writers, so expect a shorter monologue, less sketch material (this won’t be hard for Leno), and more celebrities and celebrity interviews.
David Letterman is planning to come back on CBS as well, probably the same week, though he is negotiating to actually come back with some writers. Expect an announcement from CBS either way later this week or next.
