Howard Stern was asked to be the first guest on Letterman after the strike. They've asked him to do the show on December 3rd. That's next week, so does that mean Letterman will be returning during the strike, or is that the "intended" date that this thing will be over? Good on the Letterman people if Stern's their first guest. Hope he'll be a good guest, he has a hard time coming out of his shell, but I'm sure Letterman will crack it. ;-)
