World Wide Pants, David Lettermans production company brokered their own deal with the WGA. Craig Feurgesons show falls under that deal. Their shows are the only two shows that have WGA writers and the blessing of the WGA to go back on air.

Leno, Conan, Colbert, Stewart are all writing their own material and have crossed the picket lines.

As for the beard, Conan has one too.

Letterman is going to absolutely clean house while the strike is on. Say what you will, but between the lack of writers in the first place, the probation on various sketches as part of WGA agreements, and the celebs that won't cross the line, Leno and Conan are going to struggle compared to Letterman and Feurgeson.

Apparently Letterman and Conan both grew out their beards to show their support for the striking writers.
