The kings of late night all returned to the airwaves last night, and half of them were sporting full-grown beards! I caught a bit of Conan O’Brian last night, and he was looking kinda sexy with the scruff. David Letterman looks kind of like he should be doing a Brawny ad.

Four major late-night hosts returned to the airwaves last night: David Letterman, Jay Leno, Conan O’ Brian and Craig Ferguson, and oddly half of them came back sporting full-on beards. While Jay and Craig were clean-shaven, Conan explained that his fuzzy face came from a loving place. “I grew it out of solidarity for my writers, and to prove that I have some testosterone,” he said on his show, before (rightly) adding: “I know this looks fake. It looks like it ties on in the back.” Dave, who joked that he looked like a missing hiker, had to contend with last night’s guest Robin Williams � a man who knows a little about a lot of hair. Robin, who had the audience in stitches all night, compared Dave to General Robert E. Lee, a rabbi and an Iraqi mullah.

But the truly hairy situation could sprout for Conan and Jay this morning. Both hosts, who returned to the airwaves without sanctioned writers, were explicitly instructed by the Writer’s Guild of America what they could and couldn’t do on their shows and according to the rules that “includes all writing by any Guild member that would be performed on-air by that member (including monologues, characters, and featured appearances).”

Now everyone will have to wait and see if the long statements both hosts read on-air, that were funny and obviously written beforehand, are violations of the terms they agreed to before returning to their respective shows.

Jay Leno needs to grow a beard…cover that chin up! If they continue to grow their beards until the strike is over, will they look like late night homeless hosts? This all reminds me of that guy from Knocked Up who grew that beard on a dare…remember him?
