NBC's "Last Call with Carson Daly" is about to become the first late-night talk show to defy the writers strike and resume production.

Daly, who is not a member of the Writers Guild, will begin taping new episodes of his Burbank-based show this week for airing next week, an NBC spokesperson confirmed Tuesday.

I'm too old to stay up late enough to have watched this scab anyway. (Oh and BTW, I am the granddaughter of one of the original organizers of the ILGWU, and those of you who have defined Carson Daly as a scab are correct)Anyway, I am trying to find out whom we should write to in order to complain about him, let the powers that be know we are boycotting him, etc. etc. It's not that I don't enjoy reading all this elegant prose about the issue of Daly, but once was said, rather elegantly, "Don't mourn, organize!" Thank you.

Carson who?

Who??

Oh yeah, *that* guy.

Is he supposed to be somebody we should give a sh*t about?

Ron Silver and Jerry Lewis scabbed in the late 1980's, and now via the miracle of rectal birth their little punk Carson Daly is gonna make both his daddies proud.

I'm speechless.

His onetime MTV audience from 1993 has grown-up and is embarrassed to have liked him. Like the way your ashamed to have been a New Kids on the Block fan during puberty. This issue will be the focus of Daly's obituary someday in VARIETY Magazine. Every late night obit has a focus: Jack Paar was famous for walking off the air, Johnny Carson as the King of Late Night, Leno and Letterman for fighting over Carson's job and now Daly for being a no-talent (non-writing) picket line crossing scab/host/party boy.

It is too bad Copolla got hung up about Italian nepotism, but perhaps he will now extend his legendary directorial skills toward examining the nepotism in Hollywood --- the preeminent example being the WGA. A great screenplay could be written which would expose the enormity of the corruption, the zeal with which is done, and the moral and ontological implications for society, for humanity, and for the future of our species.
If anyone can do it he can --- the opening science can be with DONALD DUCK pushing his
nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie into writing positions for the movies, for prime time, and for monologues. A new voice for Donald will be necessary -- someone with pathos

Why does this talentless monkeyface fuck have a tv show anyway? I watch Leno (talent), then Conan (major talent), then change channels.

OUT of sight out of mind
The talentless Mr. Daly most likely fears that
his absence is actaully welcomed.

BREAKING news
Moscow

President Putin has announced that the
United Russia Party
is sending a delegation to America
to study the
stratedgy and tactics of the
WGA
in controlling the CONTENT
OF THE MEDIA
ACROSS THE USA. President Putin is
interesting in finding out if the
there are ways in which the
NEPOTISM
that prevails in the USA
can be
used in Russia now that
networks of families and friends
friendly to his PRESIDENCY
HAVE 100 PERCENT CONTROL
HEADING THE DELEGATION WILL
BE THE leader of
the
MOSCOW
RACQUET
SQUAD who will want to see how
the parallel unit in the LAPD
OPERATTES and avoids arresting
the WGA WRITERS WHO ARE ON THE PICKET LINE
INASMUCH AS THEY
CONSTITUTE PEOPLE BUSY WORKING AT THEIR
RACQUET...
it is also reported PRESIDENT PUTIN HAS BEEN
MADE AN HONORARY MEMBER OF THE WGA
and is busy writing monologues for JAY AND DAVID and JIMMY...SO THE USA WILL HAVE A REAL
TREAT when they all come back on the air...
it is also reported the election of
PUTIN IN COMING DAYS will be celebrated
by the Russian MEDIA with reruns of
the American hit series
Father Knows Best and Ozzie and Harriet
which are truly
genuine ARTISITIC ACHIEVEMENTS which
all Russians treasure and place in the same company as CHEKOV, TOLSTOY, DOSTOVEEVSKY, ETC.
RUSSIA LOVES
....FATHER KNOWS BEST and everyyone agrees
it is brilliant

First off, Frazier Moore, your beginning sentence implies that there is some cascade of talk shows which are about to go back on the air in defiance of the WGA strike, and yet you provide no evidence that this is so. That Carson Daly, himself not a writer, would go back on the air in NOT indicative of any sort of broad movement among late night talk show hosts. Either your writing is sloppy or you're a shill for the AMPTP. Second, this is hardly a significant piece of news. Carson Daly has long been a corporate product, devoid of talent, personality or intelligence. His show goes on at an hour when people are no longer awake and its ratings are a testament to Mr. Daly's utter lack of appeal. They didn't announce his first night's guests? Becuase we wouldn't know who they were.

Is there any essential difference between the Writers Union and their hold on the media
and
Putin's UNITED RUSSIA PARTY in what remains of
the old soviet union?
Is there? And if so what is it?
Larry King should have a roundtble to discuss this, Chris Mathews should interview people about this, Olberman should chime in, Opera should examine it...WHERER IS THE DISCUSSION IN THE MEDIA ABOUT THE MEDIA?? the great silence
prevails....who are good guys and who are the bad guys here? 100 million screenwriters and 10 milion blog writers think its basically a
100 year old nepotistic racquet.

What about Ellen Degeneres? Today on the radio they said she's a union member and is considered a scab for continuing her show.
