[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

They can't get replacement writers,

Insent, Allyson. I say this not because I doubt your trustworthiness, but because we never see enough of your pretty hair and we all like to live vicariously: take pictures when you drop things off!

I'm pretty sure Carson's deal was that material could be ad-libbed, not that the show's writers could come back to work. Letterman did the same thing. They were just talking about that on NPR the other day.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
You're completely trustable, Allyson.
Hee. I'm flashing on Spike and Dawn.
"Take it back!"
(Or something like that)
(not that Allyson is Spike)

Finally. I found the old article I'd read about the '88 strike.
Hopefully that works.

He did ad-lib, at first. But he got his writers back at the end of May. The strike didn't end until August.

sent, Allyson - thanks so much for doing this.

Ah, I misunderstood -- never mind! They did talk about Late Night doing "Network Time-Killers" and stuff, but I assumed that part applied to the Tonight Show as well.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Long time no phone, Strega.

I know; I've been frazzled. And then I was sick last week, whine. So now I am taking a break before I get back to dealing with the truly incredible mess I've made of my place. Bleh.
