It's Official, The Writer's Guild is on STRIKE!

As of 12:01am this morning, the Writer's Guild is on strike. This is especially bad for shows like Late Night with Conan O'Brien, The Tonight Show, The Daily Show....etc etc, who need daily new material written for their bits! Most scripted dramas will be fine until Janurary-February, at which point they'll be out of written episodes. Expect to see Reality shows hit the TVs in their place.

I don't see what the big deal is though. Why can't they just outsource to non guild writers? I'm sure there's tons of up and comers who'd love to make a name for themselves. Or why not tap movie writers? I'm sure there's guys out there who'd love to write sitcoms about best buddies who get turned in to vampires, right?

There is a God! Conan O'Brien will for sure replace Jay Leno in 2009!

This was announced a while back but, with Jay Lenos current strong ratings, and wanting to stay on TV, it was rumored that the deal made might be broken and Leno would stay in the Tonight Show seat.... :(

BUT! Announced today by the head of NBC, Jeff, Zucker, told the New Yorker that Jay Leno is leaving, and Conan is in for 2009! Thank God!

The main reason being is that if the deal was broken, NBC would have to fork over over 40 million dollars to Conan O'Brien. This is the best news ever because Jay Leno is pretty much the farthest from being funny that a person can actually get. And Conan is just on too late for my sleeping schedule. Now all females in their 50s and over will have to either deal with Conan or find some new late night show to watch, since those are the only people that actually find Leno funny. HA HA!

As for who is replacing Conan, well there is a short list but the man at the top is one Jimmy Fallon... but does that really matter? No.
