   Joseph Nebus to All   
   Writers Strike: Day 7 - NBC Turns Nasty   
   11 Nov 07 15:07:11   
   
   From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu   
      
   	As part of its efforts to make sure it loses all possible   
   public goodwill, NBC's threatening to lay off all the nonwriting   
   staffs of The Tonight Show, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, and Last   
   Call With Carson Daly, in case Leno, Conan, and Daly don't go back   
   on the air.   
      
   	In case that wasn't classy enough, Reuters reports that NBC   
   is considering putting in replacement hosts for its three shows.   
      
   	Frankly, I'm on the writers' side in this strike.  But I'm   
   curious who they could get to be a scab host, and whether such could   
   be almost as successful as the sorry jury-duty final years of Later   
   With Anybody In Los Angeles, In Alphabetic Order.
