Stewart and Leno return

Despite the writers strike continuing, America's talk show hosts are preparing to return to work. Jay Leno and Conan O Brien (both screened here by CNBC) will be back behind the desk on January 2nd, but without their writers. This is likely to mean more guests, less jokes. David Letterman is yet to confirm he will also be back.
Comedy Central announced The Daily Show with Jon Stewart will be back on January 7th, returning to More4 the next day. Jon Stewart's statement said "We would like to return to work with our writers. If we cannot, we would like to express our ambivalence, but without our writers we are unable to express something as nuanced as ambivalence."
