With the writers strike in full effect here in the US, all shows that have not already been written pre-October are currently off-air and are airing re-runs. Most soap operas and other select shows episodes have been written into January and aren’t (yet) affected. However, all late night programming where it’s content is usually written the day of it’s airing have been axed for the time being. That’s where internet steps up and provides you fresh content to settle your cravings. From the Associated Press:
FOR “LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN” FANS
Tom Green’s Web talk show is a truly a marvel. Broadcasting more-or-less nightly out of the living room of his California home, Green conducts a lo-fi late night program nearly revolutionary in its ramshackle, can-do approach. The guests on his show (http://www.tomgreen.com) can occasionally be almost as A-list as on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” though it often encounters many more technical difficulties. You can also still get “Late Show” humor straight from its writers at http://www.lateshowwritersonstrike.com, where they are posting videos, blogs and jokes about their strike experience.
Nearly Revolutionary? Lo-Fi? Ramshackle? The author of this article, Jake Coyle (who’s email address is printed at the bottom of the linked article) clearly doesn’t know of what he speaks. Sure, Webovision was, at one time, a bit lo-fi in terms of streaming technology, but The Channel has always been the most revolutionary content providers on the internet and will forever remain on the cutting edge. Either way, a great plug for The Channel that will surely have Letterman fans tuning in, but perhaps the article author needs a bit of sense knocked into him. You can read the entire article here.
