So it looks like this writers strike might really happen


So, Sox fans, looking forward to those late-night appearances this Friday from David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez who'll be doing Conan and Leno, respectively?

Uh, well, there might be a problem with that - the Writers Guild currently doesn't have a contract with their studio bosses, which might cause them to strike as early as Friday. If that's the case, late night comedies and talk shows would likely shut down immediately.

"Boom -- our show just shuts down," said "SNL" vet Amy Poehler. "It's just done. There is no backlog of scripts."


Also in jeopardy: the new season of Lost. Things could get so bad that ABC would have to revive Who Wants to be a Millionaire. Seriously.
