Quite busy as I’m back at work and the deluge has resumed, but this top 10 list (from one of the only two late night shows to be returning with a WGA deal) is worth a look.

One sticking point that had to be resolved: the fact that CBS owns the digital rights to both shows. When asked how that issue was dealt with, WGA spokesman Neal Sacharow said Worldwide Pants assumed “full responsibility for all economic aspects of the agreement.” [Rob Burnett, chief executive of Worldwide Pants, Letterman's production company] said the company would pay its writers residuals for downloads and Internet streaming, even though that use is controlled by CBS.
