David Lettermen Returns, with a Beard, and an Advantage



Greetings True Believers.

After a weeks vacation, I thought I'd chat about someone else who has returned from vacation. David Lettermen. As you can see above, he has added a beard.....and you may not be able to see, quite alot of added pounds as well. He also has added weight, being the only talk show that can attract top flight guests.

Reason being......he produces and owns his show. Leno, O'Brien, Kimmel do not. He was able to cut his own deal with his writers, and now big guests don't have to cross the picket line to his show. Leno and Kimmel are so desperate for guests....they're going to be featured on each others shows this week. Maybe this way, Leno will be funny at 11:30 again....something he hasn't done for a decade.....but I digress.

Here's to Dave. He knew what to do...and how to do it. He didn't want his staff out of work, and out of a salary. He did what he had to, to keep the ball rolling. And, he had the ownership to do it right.

Here's looking to a quick end to the strike...........until then...Lettermen will reigh supreme.
