Leaders of striking television writers plan to meet Friday with David Letterman's production company in an attempt to reach a separate deal that could make the "Late Show" the only late-night TV program on the air with a writing staff.
The union has announced that writers will be permitted to work out a deal with Worldwide Pants, the company that produces Letterman. Looks like someone's a little panicky to go on air with their own material.
I wonder how funny those late-night guys really are without their writing teams.
