A Robin Lands on Letterman, While Leno Hearts Huckabee
Jay Leno by Paul Drinkwater/NBC
Late Show with David Letterman
returns on Wednesday not only
with his writing staff (see our
Strike Watch blog) but
Robin Williams as his lead-off guest, says the AP. Also onboard for the evening is Shooter Jennings, with Donald Trump bumped to Friday. On Thursday, Dave welcomes Bill Maher, Ellen Page and a performance from Broadway's
Young Frankenstein.
Meanwhile, all eyes are on the late-night talkers that have
not hammered out an agreement with the WGA (as Worldwide Pants'
Letterman and
Craig Ferguson did), and thus might have a harder time luring talent across a picket line. According to the
Hollywood Reporter,
Tonight Show with Jay Leno is expected to have former Arkansas governor and White House hopeful
Mike Huckabee as its first guest.
