David Letterman’s Top 10 lists are back.

The longtime talk show host has reached a deal with the union representing the striking writers. His CBS chatfest will return January 2 with a full staff.

“I am grateful to the WGA for granting us this agreement. We’re happy to be going back to work, and particularly pleased to be doing it with our writers,” Letterman said in a statement Friday.

“This is not a solution to the strike, which unfortunately continues to disrupt the lives of thousands. But I hope it will be seen as a step in the right direction.”

Jeff Hermanson, a Writers Guild of America executive, told Reuters Friday that the guild and Letterman’s production company, Worldwide Pants, had reached a “full, binding, independent agreement” that will pay scribes for their work that appears on the Internet.

Jay Leno, Conan O’Brien and Jimmy Kimmel will return January 2 without writers.
