NEW YORK The writers for CBS’ Late Show With David Letterman may be the first to return to work through a deal with Letterman’s independent production company, Worldwide Pants.

That company is negotiating with the WGA. The pact would allow the late-night show to come back on the air with its entire staff, including scribes, intact.

The news was first reported Saturday by The New York Times.

“We respect the intent of Worldwide Pants to serve the interests of its independent production company and its employees by seeking this interim agreement with the WGA,” CBS rep Chris Ender said in a statement Saturday.
