Late night television is back, with two hosts not crossing the picket line (David Letterman and Craig Ferguson), and three still getting WGA picketers outside of their studios (Conan O'Brien, Jay Leno and Jimmy Kimmel). Only two hosts were willing to grow, and keep, their strike beards -- and we want to know whose you like best!
We added a Photoshop-bearded Leno (because we wanted to know what it would look like), so your voting options will include him.
Amazingly, without a beard or writers, Leno still topped Letterman in ratings.
