Writer’s Strike Felt But Not Seen on Tonight Show

Jay Leno fans can rejoice – the Tonight Show hasn’t crossed the picket line without its humor. The show still feels largely the same, with monologues, skits and guests galore. The writer’s strike is certainly referenced – during one show, Jay Leno holds off on finishing a joke in a nod to the writer’s dispute. But the format itself remains largely unchanged. The line-up for guests seems slightly sporadic at times, ranging from top-notch to obscure, but Leno and company seem to be holding their own without the writers – for now. The Tonight Shows airs on NBC at 10:35 PM.
