|    Writers Strike: Day 63 - Leno under fire    |
|    06 Jan 08 15:20:16    |
      From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu               Curiously, Jay Leno's somehow managed to get in trouble for       his return with a writerless show, while Conan hasn't yet. I don't       know if this reflects differences in preparation (I don't watch Leno),       or if Conan is a smaller enough target -- or is blessed with a nice       guy charisma that Leno seems weirdly to have lost in recent years --       that he's not worth fussing over. Of course, things like playing the       guitar are ... not spontaneous, of course, but also not written in the       ways the Writers Guild would watch for either.               Whether Conan is actually writing things before saying them,       he has done a good job the first three days of giving the feel of an       essentially improvised and spontaneous first segment.              --        Joseph Nebus       ------------------------------------------------------------------------------              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
