Carson Daly is the first late-night talk show host willing to cross the picket lines of the striking writers. Last Call With Carson Daly, which airs on N-B-C after the still-not-talking Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien, begins taping new episodes this week.
Those shows will begin airing next week. Though David Letterman and Craig Ferguson's staff have been promised paychecks through the end of the year, strike or no strike, N-B-C staffers have only been promised their full salaries through the end of the month -- which, of course, is Friday.
ps...Carson Daly was once O-J Simpson's golf caddy, this is not a joke, he really was.
