Leno Faces WGA Action Over Monologues
The restrictions that the striking Writers Guild of America has placed on late-night television hosts to keep them from writing material for their shows continued to have no impact on the leading late-night star, Jay Leno, who planned once again to write and perform a comedy monologue for NBC's "Tonight Show" Friday night.
A spokeswoman said Friday that the guild would definitely take some action against Mr. Leno, who is a member.
"The answer is, he is not getting a pass," said Sherry Goldman, a spokeswoman for the Writers Guild of America East. She said that the action to be taken had not yet been specified.
