Yeah, I read that and thought, "Man, Carson Daly is a douche."
But I don't feel that way about Ellen Degeneres. Am I just a hypocrite? (It's entirely possible the answer is yes.)
They should film that story and show it every Christmas.

[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.

AUGH. From the article:
The Writers Guild is seeking more money for material distributed over the Internet and cell phones.
I believe they are seeking ANY money. But I suppose ANY money is more than zero, and thus their statement is technically accurate.

Yeah, I read that and thought, "Man, Carson Daly is a douche."
I read that and thought, "Carson Daly is still on the air?"

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I get the impression that Carson Daly would still be a douche whether or not there were a writers' strike.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Probably true, but I wonder if he's actually the person who calls the shots regarding his eponymous show? I have no doubt that the buck stops with Letterman and Leno, but I'm not entirely convinced Carson is doing anything more than filling out his contractual host obligations as some behind-the-scenes producer like Lou Perlman yells "Dance, monkey, dance!"

What's Ellen's excuse? I hadn't heard she was back on.

Ellen never went off did she? Or she only went off for a day and then went back on the air but without any kind of monolouge so it's just talking to guests.

Daly always seemed like kind of a douche. But, if he's not a member of the WGA, he's not really doing anything wrong, I guess.
