Presidential candidate Hillary
Clinton will be a surprise guest when David Letterman returns to the air
tonight.
Worldwide Pants, which produces “The Late Show With David Letterman,” reached
a deal over the holiday period with the WGA, which today sees his writers
returning to work.
Earlier it was announced that Robin Williams was Letterman’s first guest, but
now, Access Hollywood has exclusively learned that Clinton will also
make an appearance. As previously announced, Lupe Fiasco will be the musical
guest on the show.
While visiting the “Late Show” set earlier today, Access Hollywood
learned that Dave’s famous Top Ten list will be concentrated on the “Top 10
Striker Demands.”
Writers on the show told Access they are thrilled to be back at work after
nine weeks of striking.
They were coaxed back into working when Worldwide Pants gave the WGA
“everything” they asked for, the writers said.
Fans of the late show can expect to hear strike jokes for as long as the
strike lasts, as the working writers strive to bring attention to those still on
the picket line.
As for the guests, while “Late Show” writers admit it was difficult to book
guests at first, things are now looking up. The WGA is encouraging SAG members
to go on the show.
