The TV Zone

Could it be? Sure it could be. But maybe just maybe Dave, Conan, Jay et al will only be taking a week's vacation as opposed to a year's one (the Writers Strike, you know.) The Washington Post's fine Reporter Who Covers Television (her line), Lisa De Moraes, wrote today that the boys could be out only a week. And I quote: "But unlike the last time the writers struck, nearly 20 years ago, when the late-night shows stayed dark for months, this time around, industry sources with knowledge of the situation say, they're expected to stay out for only a week or two. While the late-night stars want to show support for their writers, they also feel allegiance to the production staffers, who do not get paid if they do not work." She adds, "Expect no scripted bits, but lots more celebrity interviews. Oh goody."

Yes, oh goody...
