Leno, Conan Returning in January
Posted by Shane on Tuesday, December 18, 2007 at 11:24 pm
After two months of repeats, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Late Night with Conan O’Brien will resume broadcasting new episodes beginning Wednesday, January 2, 2008.
“During the 1988 writers strike, Johnny Carson reluctantly returned to ‘The Tonight Show’ without his writers after two months. Both Jay and Conan have supported their writers during the first two months of this WGA strike and will continue to support them. However, there are hundreds of people who will be able to return to work as a result of Jay’s and Conan’s decision,” said Rick Ludwin, Executive Vice President, Late Night & Primetime Series.
Jimmy Kimmel has also announced a return on January 2 on ABC.
Meanwhile, David Letterman is trying to cut a deal with the WGA on his own, which some suggest could lead to similar deals if successful.
