Letterman + Ferguson make deal with WGA and will be back on air!
Good news! (for me at least) - Now I got something to watch around bed-time that isn’t the fifteenth showing of Gene Simmons’ wife (forgot her name) Skinemax soft-core porno.
Worldwide Pants, the production company that produces both the CBS “Late Show with David Letterman” and “Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson” will be back with their writers airing starting Wednesday.
An interim agreement between the Letterman-owned company Worldwide Pants and the Writers Guild of America will allow the full writing staffs for both shows to return to work, even as the WGA strike continues to halt most other non-reality TV and all future film productions. Both of the CBS late-night shows have been airing reruns since the strike began eight weeks ago.
It seems that even though the WGA strike might be changing the future of entertainment, content and business, as we know it, we shall have some late night fodder come Wednesday night with Craig Ferguson and David Letterman. And scheduled film releases will get a chance to promote their films on these two important shows as well.
Jeff Hermanson, a spokesman for the WGA union said that Letterman’s company (Worldwide Pants) had produced a “full, binding, independent agreement” that includes provisions for paying writers for work distributed over the Internet.
