  • Leno Has the Write Stuff When It Comes to Ratings | Today's News: Our Take | 1/3/2008
    Should the Writers Guild of America take this personally? According to Nielsen's overnight ratings in 55 markets, NBC's writer-less Tonight Show with Jay Leno was the audience favorite with a 5.3 rating and a 12 share on Wednesday night. That topped CBS' Late Show with David Letterman, which returned with its writers after Letterman's production company worked out its own deal with the WGA. It scored a 4.3/10. Viewers were clearly happy to see both shows return after a strike-imposed two-month... read more
  • Happy New Year for Late-night TV | Roush Dispatch | 1/3/2008
    Did absence make our hearts grow fonder of late-night TV's hosts, missing in action for the last two months? I suppose it's possible, though I doubt anyone's preferences were changed by what they saw Wednesday night, when all of the network hosts finally returned to work, all but David Letterman and Craig Ferguson without writers. (If anything grew, it was facial hair, at least on Dave and Conan.)If you're the sort who for whatever reason prefers affable Jay Leno over cranky Dave, or chooses to... read more

  • Letterman, Ferguson to Return With Writers, Thanks to WGA Deal | WGA Post-Strike Watch: News About Returning Shows | 12/28/2007
    As if Dave didn't already have an edge over his late-night peers, World Wide Pants has made a deal with the Writers Guild of America that will allow both Late Show and Late Late Show to resume production Wednesday with their respective writing staffs on board.Helping make this special consideration possible is the fact that Letterman’s World Wide Pants owns both talkers and as such — and until Friday — had been working out a deal with the WGA. "This is a comprehensive agreement... read more
  • Letterman, Better Man: Pays Idle Staff Through End of Year | WGA Post-Strike Watch: News About Returning Shows | 11/15/2007
    Though the two shows have halted production and a return to work before the WGA strike is resolved is entirely up in the air (though not out of the question), employees of both The Late Show with David Letterman and Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson will be paid through the end of the year, DeadlineHollywood.com reports. This generous move — Letterman is practically peeling the bills from his own Eddie Bauer billfold — would make Worldwide Pants the first known company to issue its... read more
  • CBS' Late-night Talkers Remain Silent | Today's News: Our Take | 11/9/2007
    CBS has sent out a press release confirming that for all of next week as well, both Late Show with David Letterman and The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson will be airing repeats.During the 1988 WGA writers' strike, Letterman ultimately returned to work — conducting interviews only, thus needing no writer — but not until Johnny Carson made that move first. As I just said to Battaglio in the hallway here, I imagine that is not Letterman's plan this time around.More strike... read more
  • ABC Saves Cashmere Mafia Hit for Later | WGA Post-Strike Watch: News About Returning Shows | 11/5/2007
    Let loose the ripple effects! One of the first tangible schedule tweaks resulting from the writers' strike finds ABC pushing back Cashmere Mafia — which was to debut Nov. 27 — until further notice (or, to be exact, a premiere date "TBA," says the network). The thinking, of course, is to hold such fresh inventory until the new year at least, when the current bank of scripted and produced programming begins to dry up.Similarly, CBS has announced that Late Show with David Letterman and... read more

  • Great Scot! It's a Craig Ferguson Q&A! | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 8/1/2007
    With a comedic campaign for honorary U.S. citizenship and his increasingly inspired monologue, CBS' The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson (weeknights at 12:35 am/ET) has really hit its stride. We spoke to the show's Glasgow-born host about what it's like working the night shift. TV Guide: At nearly 15 minutes, your monologue is practically a stand-up gig.Craig Ferguson: That's what we do ? 10, 15 minutes of new stand-up every show. I have eight or nine writers, and we decide what subject ... read more
  • Craig Ferguson Monologue Interrupted by Bad Break | Today's News: Our Take | 7/12/2007
    Late Late Show viewers wondering why Craig Ferguson's opening monologue is now interrupted by an early commercial break need be perplexed no longer. A CBS rep tells the New York Post the change is "a proactive response to an upcoming ratings system" that, come the new TV season, will measure how many people are actually watching commercials. Ferguson, who on Tuesday's show referred to it as an "experiment," has been "extremely agreeable" to the move, says CBS. Uh-huh.The thinking is that Late... read more

    Craig Ferguson is in the driver's seat. The Scotland native ? best known as Mr. Wick on The Drew Carey Show ? has just been named the new host of CBS's Late Late Show, but when we caught up with him via cell phone, he had literally been driving for the last 10 hours. "I have to be honest. My ass is a little sore," says the 42-year-old actor, who beat out comedian D.L. Hughley, former Ed costar Michael Ian Black and TRL's Damien Fahey for Craig Kilborn's old job. His aching backside aside, ... read more
