   Joseph Nebus to All   
   Writers Strike: Day 69 - Novelty Acts In   
   12 Jan 08 13:50:30   
   
   From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu   
      
   	I'd like to have it on record how pleased I am with first the   
   dog act with the lady from the Big Apple Circus on Wednesday and then   
   the comic-country singers from Friday.  Since the extinction event   
   that wiped out variety shows you don't tend to see things like that   
   anymore, and they're fun in reasonable amounts.  On the off chance   
   that the strike continues to drag on, I hope that Late Night does its   
   best to find odd and slightly whimsical things like this that haven't   
   really been on TV since, well, the last writer's strike.   
      
   	By the way, for all you kids who don't remember when Late Night   
   featured this guy named David Letterman: sending a guy up to buy all   
   the food from a vending machine is the kind of thing that made Late   
   Night With David Letterman such a cool show.  Although I do have the   
   feeling he'd have thought to have the two guys, once the two were there,   
   race one another at parallel vending machines.   
      
   	If Late Night does take anything away from the strike, I hope   
   it's the realization of just how little formula Conan does need.
