How long has the writers' strike been over???

Tuned into Leno tonight (love to catch Monday "Headlines") and the Garth Brooks/Christina Ricci ep is on AGAIN? Didn't that just air last week or the week before? I don't understand that - anybody know what's up?

Good question. The only thing I can think of is that last week was the end of the February sweeps, so this week would be a good time for a vacation. Maybe his vacation weeks are written in his contract, and he gets them no matter what?

Just in case you're wondering, Dave was a rerun too.

Hadn't Jay been back for several weeks before the writers strike ended? It was probably just time for Jay to have some time off.

Knowing Jay, he probably already had other commitments scheduled. He is notorious for working on his "vacations" from the Tonight Show. He probably is working the comedy circuit.

Not sure that counts. All of the 11:30 ones were in Repeats, and Conan was as well.

I think Ferguson counts more as Early Morning instead of late night. Isn't his on at 1:30am?

Maybe in your market, but it's designed to air right after Dave at 12:37.

The Daily Show and The Colbert Report were new.
