Writers back for Letterman, Ferguson.
A new deal has David Letterman and Craig Ferguson coming back to Late Night with their writers.
Jay Leno, Conan O'Brien, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert will be coming back without theirs.
You know what's strange? I'd rather watch Conan O'Brien, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert without writers than David Letterman with.
I'm not saying they're going to be great shows -- Conan has predicted it could be a train wreck and I agree -- but Letterman's show has been on autopilot for some time. The last time he was really hilariously funny was the mid 90s.
I do think Craig Ferguson is pretty funny.
But given the option, I'd still go with the comedy central guys sans-writers.
