Nothing says “alternative entertainer” like hip black and white.

You probably haven’t thought about Carson Daly in like eight years, but he just wanted to check in and remind everyone that he’s still a tool. The former MTV main squeeze will be the first the break the Writers Guild picket line and resume production of his massively popular runaway hit of a late night show because, you know, pain killers and cock rings don’t exactly pay for themselves.

Daly, who is not a member of the Writers Guild, will begin taping new episodes of his Burbank-based show this week for airing next week, an NBC spokesperson confirmed Tuesday.

Daly himself is not a writer, nor does he employ any writers. He prefers just to “vibe it out,” an unconventional method to be sure, but one that keeps production costs low.

Said a spokesman for the striking writers, “Carson who?”
