STRIKE COVERAGE: CBS Late-Night Shows Go to Repeats

Writers Guild of America Strike Sends The Late Show with David Letterman , The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson to Repeats This Week

By John Eggerton -- Broadcasting & Cable, 11/5/2007 9:13:00 AM MT

To no one’s surprise, CBS announced Monday that its late-night duo of The Late Show with David Letterman and The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson will be in repeats this week.

This could be the first of many such advisories if the writers' strike against TV producers is not settled quickly.

Shows with topical humor are the hardest hit by the absence of a writing staff to react to the day's events by showtime.
