Welcome back! It's a good thing this week starts with a party, because there's plenty to celebrate when it comes to the talk show schedule over the next six days.
Entertainment options run the gamut from old favorites (Mötley Crüe, Robin Williams, Steve Winwood, Carly Simon) to fresh faces (Estelle, Your Vegas, The Duke Spirit, Tokio Hotel).
And since we know everybody could use more magic in their lives, we're happy to inform you it's magician week on "Late Show with David Letterman."
