The Agreement Between Letterman and his Writers

I don't understand something about the agreement that Letterman made with his writers -- did the writers guild approve this agreement? If they did, why? And if they didn't, what are they going to do about it?

  • 13. Careful buddy. You're criticizing the guy who almost got the "Tonight Show."
  • 12. I'm a comedian and therefore not responsible for anything I say ... ask Jon Stewart.

  • 2. I'm old, I'm miserable and deep down I hate myself, what do you want from me?
