I just can't get past his picture. It makes me physically ill to look at him. I miss the doughy Carson.

As much as I hate to defend Carson, he's not a member of the WGA, which means he can't really be a scab. Scabs are technically the members who don't abide by the strike, like Ellen.

Besides, Carson has to cross picket lines. Lord knows his show would never survive an extended leave. How has it survived so far??

okay…. I called the number. It's non-working. Bummer.

818-260-5107 call now, call often!

calling…leaving message with my number…yes!

That's true, Kitchy. I didn't realize it was still on. It's hard becuase as much as people want to show solidarity, not everyone can. Carson probably isn't getting the same money as Jay Leno or Conan. Take back the, probably. He needs j-o-b to e-a-t. He's probably using the money for something besides food.

Is Ellen actually writing for her show? Or just performing?

Did David Letterman do all his own jokes during the last strike? Or did he attempt to collect help from friends and family too?

the witers deserve more money and everything but they are putting alot of people out of work because of their strike. at least carson's crew won't be out of a job.

Ellen's adlibbing. But it takes up time that normally would be filled by writers, which makes her a scab.

I personally have no problem with it. But it is what defines her as having broken the strike. I also agree with deimos - the writers can't expect everyone to go jobless just to prove their point. That's cruel.

The View adlibs their "Views" I'm not sure if that's considered scabbing or not? I was just not to pick scabs.

Kitchy, Ellen is bound by ANOTHER contract with a different union where she has to continue working regardless of what the WGA did. I can't remember the name of the group now, but there are quite a few in Hollywood that couldn't support the WGA strike because of this other union and a clause that states they won't stop working during a strike. (I didn't realize she was part of the WGA.)

On another point, I have a friend who works as an assistant producer in Hollywood, and what happens to the crews is really sad. Many of them lose their homes and families when something like this happens because when the show stops producing, they all get laid off.

AA, I agree with you. I'm stating why the WGA has labeled her a scab. I think it's great that Ellen kept working, personally.

I like Ellen. And I get what the writers are doing…but in the meantime they are screwing everyone else. Kind of seems to defeat the purpose.

WGA is labeling anyone who walks the other way on the street a scab…all of it is kind of starting to get annoying. I just think strikes are like temper tantrums…I doubt the writers let their 2 year olds get away with crap like that.

Yeah, I was fully supportive of the WGA strike until they started requiring every single worker to walk off the job as well. I don't get how making the catering crew go without a paycheck for weeks on end is a good thing.

It's starting to make me hope that reality tv does take over and the writers can no longer find work anyway.

Unless of course the writers are prepared their bigger pay checks with everyone on staff. It's just fair.

what the hell happened to carson daly? i have not kept up on my carson news. is he anorexic? addicted to drugs? still lamenting the break up with tara skanky reid?

seriously, what gives?

I swear, I am only going to watch the history channel from now on. Regular TV has sucked for some time (I'm looking at you SNL). Imagine how much worse it's going to be if this continues for a few more months!

In the meantime, I'll continue to feel sorry for Carson Daly. That tapeworm is taking it's toll on the guy. Big time. I miss the slightly cherubic Carson. He was hot.

The discover channel has a pretty cool show. How it's made. I'm so addicted and I don't know how it happened. I never thought I would be interested to see how shingles and cheescake are made. But I am.

I like the science channel too. Man…when did I become a nerd? I used to watch MTV damnit (back when it was cool)! I wore Doc's and dyed my hair purple. When the hell did it all go so awry?

Like it's not bad enough that a gay person broke the strike, so did Ellen.

Carson used to be an alchoholic. He is honestly not on drugs, he has just been sober for a few years. Similar to Chevy Chase, who was once addicted to coke, stopped, and then lost all his sense of humor.

There are some people that you can just tell will not age gracefully. Carson is one of them, and for that matter, so is Lindsay.

Chevy lost his hotness and funniness after, Fletch.

A scab is defined as a person who refuses to strike or to join a labor union or who takes over the job responsibilities of a striking worker. It has nothing to do with whether or not they belong to the striking union. In fact, it is a term usually used for a person who does NOT belong to the union but who takes the job of a striking worker. GET IT??? Carson Daly IS scabbing, or at least looking for scabs. Plain and simple.

Btw, striking workers are hurting as well. They aren't working, they don't have money to pay their bills, and they can lose their homes too. But they do it to ensure they are paid what their work is worth. The blame of the burden that a strike imposes should not be placed on the writers, but on the big bosses who refuse to pay proper wages because it cuts into their profits.

Theatrical unions are long past serving a necessary purpose. Sure, they're nice to have around and the checks and balances are noteworthy. But blind allegiance to these groups is only for the morally out-of-touch. SAG is definitely on its way out (Fi-Core is simply the best way to go–and all the big stars are doing it!) and these writers are righteous beyond belief. While I support their issue, I do not support their methods, for obvious reasons. And it's interesting how easily 'must-see' shows like The Office can be replaced with Caveman reruns on in the background, while I spend my free time living my own life, thank-you very much…..

hi, anyone know how to contact holly chancer or
the current talent coordinator at carson daly show?
