Jay Leno Begging For Writers
Jay Leno of The Tonight Show is one of the most popular TV entertainers but is starting to get hecklers throwing stale popcorn from their couches. The once 'King of Late Night' desperately needs the writer's strike to end and fast.
The current Tonight Show has morphed into a combination of The Mike Douglas Show, Art Linkletter, The Red Skelton Hour and What's My Line?. His monologue is filled with jokes that seem to have been written, or more likely memorized because of the strike, in the back of a parked Studabaker outside the Comedy Club.
Leno has been seen, just minutes before taping, privately asking audience members if they have heard a good one lately. He has a staffer monitoring the trucker's CB channel as they banter and trade jokes. The writers union does not cover CB content.
The Tonight Show will return back to its monolithic self, but not until the writer's union gets off its fat post script.
There's Your Splash!
