We are starting to see re-runs on our late night talk shows and the excuse is that the Hollywood Writers are on strike. The networks tell us they are out of scripts, apparently, the scripts are done usually the same day or within the week, as they cover current events in the news and society. Yet, should the American Public accept this?
In fact, the American Public should not accept this - we should turn off our TVs at night, if these shows cannot run in real-time without scripts. Most of these late night talk show celebrities have been in the industry for 20 years or more, so why do they need to read a script written by some writer in order to know what to say and what is funny?
The New York Times stated that Jay Leno, The Late Show and David Letterman were all in re-runs; why? What happened to the thought that the show must go on? It is despicable that these folks cannot do their own show ad lib or off the cuff? Surely, if they are the funniest humans amongst the masses of population, they can write and recite their own stuff or even do it on the fly? If they can't I must ask why?
Personally, if the late night talk shows will not do live shows with no-scripts during the writer's strike, then it just shows how utterly fake they are. Additionally, if the writer's go on strike and will not write to keep these shows going, then they should be fired permanently, because the American People deserve more.
