We could debate the relative value of Late Night Summer shows vs Fall shows (I still maintain the latter are far more valuable), but it is a secondary matter. Indeed, if the programs and networks have taken major financial hits over the summer from the Strike, the main point is even stronger: the pressure on these guys to go back to work a month from now is going to be intense. If the strike lasts that long, I suspect Barrymore will not be the only talk show host doing writer-less shows, and I will be surprised if the howls of outrage are as loud.
