First Carson Daly got a lot of heat (and hecklers) for going back to work while the Writers Guild of America strike was still going on. And now NBC has rewarded his loyalty by firing nine Last Call with Carson Daly employees, including three of those writers.

With the TV season getting back to business as usual, a few Lost stars have been making the rounds in the media this week. Earlier, E!'s Kristin Dos Santos interviewed Jeff Fahey, who plays pilot Frank Lapidus on the show. Frank is my favorite new Lost character, and Fahey is very intriguing and well-spoken in person. The actor discusses his reasons for joining the show and admits that he had never watched Lost before joining the cast.

Evangeline Lilly was a guest on Tuesday night's episode of the Late Show with David Letterman. The actress tells Dave about how a planned trip to China became an impromptu trip to Japan (no visitor's visa). She also talks about the writers' strike and how she deals with island fever during filming in Hawaii.

Both videos are available after the jump. Enjoy!

You've seen the comedy bit, now you can see the behind the scenes rehearsal and outtakes from the infamous Conan O'Brien/Jon Stewart/Stephen Colbert "Who Made Huckabee First" late night fight.

Late Night Underground, the official Late Night with Conan O'Brien writers blog, has a really funny clip showing how the three late nights hosts filmed their epic battle in the hallways and stairwells of NBC. You see the various times the three smashed fake bottles over their heads (and at one point one doesn't break and seems to be a real one), you see Stewart asking if they can change one of the signs in the hallway, and you also see Colbert come out of a room (maybe a dressing room?) that has a Colbert Report sign on it. Not really sure what that's all about.

There's also a nice shot of them just sitting on the stairwell that would make a nice poster for fans of the three of them, and the last shot has the three reminiscing a bit about David Letterman's tenure in the studio and Saturday Night Live.

Here's who's on the late night shows tonight.

• Charlie Rose: Willie Brown and Valentin Fuster
• The Daily Show: TBA
• The Colbert Report: TBA

Awwww, isn't it nice when one late night host gives a compliment to another?

Late, Late Show host Craig Ferguson says that he would like to see Jon Stewart take over for David Letterman if and when Letterman retires. Letterman's current contract with CBS is up in 2010, which just happens to be the same time that Stewart's contract is up with The Daily Show and Comedy Central.

But that's not the most interesting part of this interview with Ferguson over at Broadcasting and Cable. Ferguson hints strongly that if Letterman stays, he'll stay, but if Letterman does indeed retire, he'll probably retire too. And he really doesn't have an interest in the 11:35 slot (Ferguson has already said he might leave CBS when his six year contract is up).

Less than a week after becoming a U.S. citizen, CBS late night host Craig Ferguson announced on his show last night (scroll down, second story) that he is going to speak at the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner on April 26.

This is an interesting choice, since they played it safe last year by having impressionist Rich Little perform. I wonder if Ferguson will go the safe route or go the route of Stephen Colbert, who took the opportunity to skewer the current administration (here's part one, part two, and part 3).
