A lot of the talk shows are going back to production because the strike is starting to significantly impact many in the industry not under the protection of the Writer's Guild.

I remember the last time this happened. The last writer's strike; Letterman came back in the middle of it. This was "Late Night with David Letterman" of course. And it was brutally awful, and everyone new it. Letterman had this recurring segment during that period called "Network time killers"--basically 20-30 seconds of subway cars or street scenes and nothing else--because it was so hard for them to find ways to make the show entertaining without writers.
