It was last call for Carson Daly, literally! After a month of being dark, "Last Call with Carson Daly" became the first late night talk show to return to air with new episodes since the writer's strike.
Despite getting negative press, Carson had a reason for the return. He said if he hadn't come back on the air by yesterday, 75 members of his staff and crew would have gotten laid off. 75 people work on that show?!
Other late nighters like Conan, Leno, and Letterman have promised to cover staff salary through December, and stay dark. Guess Carson's pockets aren't deep enough for that.
