--> WGA East planned a small picket and leaflet session outside NBC headquarters in Rockfeller Plaza where Conan O'Brien will tape this afternoon.
-->I'm told that, yes, there's a plan by some striking writers to disrupt The Tonight Show along the lines of what was done to Carson Daly, but not at tonight's taping...
-->According to an insider, David Letterman's Late Show writers "are painfully aware of the thousands still out there and also aware of our responsibilities". I'm told that, as a result, the writers are planning to do a daily picket line shift representing the show until the strike is settled. "The writers as a whole plan to contribute in whatever small and large ways we can." Once those plans are more concrete, I will let you know.


I’m told that, yes, there’s a plan by some striking writers to disrupt The Tonight Show along the lines of what was done to Carson Daly, but not at tonight’s taping…
This is self-defeating and will make Leno look like a victim, even if the disruption does not air. Better to let him slowly sink and WWP fly so people can see for themselves what the writers (or lack thereof) mean to the top late-night hosts.
I’d be careful with this sort of action.
I went to Rockefeller Plaza today because according to Michael Winship’s letter, picketing in NY resumed today,(not the 7th – as announced on the web) but I was alone. Frustrating…
well, one large way they could contribute would be to NOT WORK, just like everyone else in their guild…but, you know, late night tv is more important than the strike, i guess.
how long before there are separate guilds for tv writers and feature writers?
