Late Night Returns with Big Stars and Surprise Appearances

 
"The Insider" has the latest... After two months of reruns due to the writers strike, late night programming returned Wednesday night. "The Late Show with DAVID LETTERMAN " and "The Late Late Show with CRAIG FERGUSON " were the only shows that returned with writers and Letterman even had striking writers read the famous top ten list -- spewing a list of their demands. Letterman also scored, along with an appearance by ROBIN WILLIAMS , a surprise videotaped introduction from presidential hopeful HILLARY CLINTON . Despite writers picketing NBC on Wednesday, JAY LENO , whose "Tonight Show" guests included GOP presidential hopeful MIKE HUCKABEE , insisted he wasn't breaking union rules. "I'm doing what I did the day I started," he said. "I write jokes and I wake up my wife in the middle of the night and go, 'Honey is this funny?'" (link)
