Leno Fans Stay Loyal Despite Writers Strike

by Jyle on January 14th, 2008

Everyone including me, thought that with the advantage of having writers, David Letterman was going to dominate the late night scene. The truth however was revealed in the Neilson polls that the Tonight Show with Jay Leno still ruled over Late Night. Without writers and without any certainty of who would be the guests for the night, Leno proved that he is still funny and entertaining. This is all good news for NBC who might have a little more leverage in the writers strike dispute.

In other news, writer-less Conan O’Brien also rated better in the polls than Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson who has benefit writers.
