   Writers Strike: Day 86 - Conan Proclaime

   	A web site I never heard of before proclaimed that Conan is   
   one of the losers in the Writers Guild strike to date, although I'm   
   not at all sure I follow the reasoning.  From the essay:   
      
   http://www.411mania.com/movies/columns/67849/A-Fool%5C%5Cs-Utopi   
   -01.27.08:-Writers-Strike-Winners-and-Losers.htm   
      
   	... all right, Letterman's a winner for making a deal with   
   the writers, having a better list of guests, and not having to cross   
   strike lines for each show.  Meanwhile Conan's a loser because ... uh   
   ... Leno's been phoning it in since 1992 and this somehow will make   
   Conan irrelevant.  The actual content of Late Night, or that Conan's   
   been much more interesting freed from his many formulas, seems to be   
   irrelevant to the judgement.  I don't get it, myself.
