Carson Daly was the first late-night talk show host to go back during the strike (you'd think the studios liked him for it), and how is his bad show being rewarded? By NBC cutting his budget and firing three out of four of his writers. I didn't think his show could get any worse, but it just did. The flip side for Carson is that he still has two years on his contract, and his New Year's Eve special did great, so only time will tell. Carson hasn't gotten his last call just yet, but only time will tell.
