U.S. late-night talk-show host David Letterman is planning to shave his full, gray beard on an upcoming show, the New York Daily News reported.

Letterman and his fellow talk-show host Conan O'Brien returned to work with beards Wednesday after their shows were off the air for two months due to the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike.

Letterman's production company Worldwide Pants made an independent deal with the guild that allowed him to go back to work with his writers, while O'Brien returned without his scribes in an effort to protect the jobs of his non-writing staff. Letterman to Shave Beard on Air
