With his friends "tugging" on him to write, Drew Snyder has an "itch" to come out of retirement and report to the network later this month, according to sources close to the writer.

Snyder has communicated his potential desire to friend Andrew McCarthy but talks have not advanced to a substantive stage, the source said.

Snyder was reached on Wednesday by Mississippi's The Clinton Administration and tried to calm the storm.

"It's all rumor," he said of reports that he wants to return.
