Update: If you are interested in Letterman’s strike beard, check out the photo of it in this blog)

Because of this agreement and the lack of one for the other guys, like Jay Leno or Conan, Letterman owns them because of the guests he can get now.

A-list actors and actresses cannot appear on the other shows because of the WGA strike, which would be considered “crossing the picket line.”

Not Letterman though. No one coming on his show is crossing any picket line. So he hold all the cards this time around and it’s likely his ratings will blow everyone out of the water.

And to prove a point it seems, his first guest will be the powerhouse Robin Williams.

I’m not a HUGE fan of Williams, especially because his last few movies haven’t been great, but he once made better choices and thus I’ll always enjoy what he can do.

Pairing Letterman and Williams together after all this strike talk should hopefully end up being a classic episode.

The rest of the week on Letterman looks like this:

Thursday, January 3
Bill Maher (Real Time with Bill Maher)
Ellen Page (Juno)
Broadway’s “Young Frankenstein”

Friday, January 4
Donald Trump
Shooter Jennings (CD, “The Wolf”)
