Digg this
The Smoking Gun dug up an e-mail that late-night scab Carson Daly sent to a bunch of his friends and family the other day, giving them a phone hotline to submit jokes for his show. Usually he has writers for that, but apparently they’re busy. And guess what?
The bit, Daly stressed, was not meant to “make fun” of his striking writers. He added that his goal was to just “play a fun collage of random people trying to ‘help me out.’”
Right, why would his writers take it the wrong way? Just some harmless fun. Here’s a great joke I just sent in:

What do you mean, it’s not good enough? Have you seen the show? Okay, what about this:
How is Last Call with Carson Daly like your kitchen junk drawer?
They’re both good places to throw away a tool nobody wants!
That’s more mean than funny, but it’s alright because I don’t like him. Okay, one last try:
What’s the difference between an open casket and Carson Daly?
The open casket has viewers!
Update: Welcome, Deadline Hollywood Daily readers! Please make yourselves at home.
This no talent little puke should be kicked to the curb by every writer in the industry, then his SCAB ass should be blacklisted.
Who’s Carson Daly?
So what; Carson Daly solicits jokes from friends and family. He pays them the same as his writers and he doesn’t have to pay residuals. Hmmm.
I’ve just been handed a news update; Friends and Family of Carson Daly are threatening to strike if they aren’t given a fair deal. It has been reported that following the threat of a strike, Carson ordered his driver to “floor it,” when his mother tried to hand him his sack lunch at the studio gate.
We’ll keep you updated.
