NBC Show Crosses WGA Strike "Line" - Looks for Scabs

From the oops-thought-I-had-posted-this department comes an entry that was written in a timely manner, if not posted in the same vein...

Carson Daly's show on NBC is going back into production, sans writers, according to the Associated Press. Daly isn't a member of the WGA, and apparently has asked pretty much anyone to send in jokes as a "fun collage" not meant to "make fun" of striking writers, according to the Smoking Gun. Given that he needs the help, maybe he should wait to go back on until the strike is over so professionals might have a chance to make him sound amusing.
