BEARDED LETTERMAN RETURNS AFTER TWO-MONTH HIATUS
NEW YORK (AP) — A fully bearded David Letterman opened his first show in two months by walking out amid dancing girls holding picket signs for striking TV writers. "I know what you’re thinking," Letterman said of his mostly white beard. "You think Dave looks like a cattle-drive cook."
One of five talk-show hosts to return to work — and, with Craig Ferguson, one of only two with working writers — Letterman was joined by comic Robin Williams and a cameo by Hillary Clinton on tape from Iowa.
