CARSON DALY plans to defy the writer's strike and resume production of his late night talk show. Daly is not a member of the Writer's Guild of America, but had joined ranks with other late night hosts and chose to air repeats rather than tape new shows without striking writers.
An NBC spokesperson says Last Call With Carson Daly will begin taping new shows in Burbank for airing next week. It's not clear when the first new show will air or what guests will appear.No word on what effect Daly's decision will have on NBC's other late night shows -- The Tonight Show With Jay Leno and Late Night With Conan O'Brien. Those shows, along with ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live, CBS' Late Show With David Letterman and Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson, continue to air reruns, although there were recent rumors of "back-door talks between the shows' producers about returning to the air before the strike ends. Comedy Central's late night shows -- The Daily Show With Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report -- have also been in reruns.

I say YAY for Carson!!! AND how about putting the new shows on earlier and show all the reruns at later time slots?
A disgruntled late night viewer!
I agree! He's not a union member, so why not? The only sucky thing...there will be new shows on, and no one will be watching at 1:35am!
