David Letterman, Jay Leno Set to Go on Hold?

Originally posted 11/03/2007 06:25PM

David Letterman, Jay Leno, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert and Conan O’Brien may have to button their lips come Monday – due to the proposed strike of the Writers Guild of America.

If the issues of money that divide the two sides – the writers on one side, producers on the other – do not get resolved by then, all talk shows will have to go into reruns or be taken off the air temporarily (as will any programming that requires newly-written material, such as sitcoms, dramas and made-for-TV movies).

Lohan Pokes Fun at Jessica Simpson

Originally posted 05/23/2005 10:00AM

MOCKED: On this weekend's Saturday Night Live, host Lindsay Lohan poked fun at Jessica Simpson in a skit lampooning Simpson's remaining chaste until she married Nick Lachey. With Will Forte playing Lachey, Lohan (as Simpson) quipped: "Remember a long time ago how we made out to 'Purple Rain,' when I did not lose my virginity?" Not that the Nick & Jessica were the evening's only target. Series regular Amy Poehler appeared in a puff of smoke as the ghost of Lohan's future and warned the Mean Girls actress: "Lindsay, your life is moving too fast! You gotta slow it down. I'm you. I've come from the future to tell you, you gotta cool it with the partying 'cause I'm totally beat!" In the current PEOPLE, Lohan, 18, attributes her slimmer figure to a new exercise routine. "I'm working out. I just got a trainer," she says. "Just old-school working out."

TONIGHT SHIFT: Jay Leno, who's hosted NBC's Tonight Show since May 25, 1992, will surrender his desk to Late Night host Conan O'Brien in 2009, Leno announced on Monday's 50th anniversary episode of his nighttime talk show. " I promised (my wife) Mavis I would take her out for dinner before I turned 60," said Leno. O'Brien, 41, signed a new contract with the network that will keep him at the helm of his current show (which he has hosted for 11 years) until he takes over the new gig.
