Re: Writers Strike 2023
Is there any reason that CBS can't get the new @Midnight show up and running now to fill the Corden slot? Writers are able to work on it and presumably performers would be able to appear on it in the same way that SNL cast members are allowed to perform on there.

Cheeks said that they were close to finding a showrunner and a head writer before the strike and is still hopeful that they’ll score the talent that they’re keen on. However, he said that they didn’t prioritize a host, because they wanted to lean into the format element of the show, which was previously hosted by Chris Hardwick.
“Let’s spend all our time talking about what the format should be, how we’re going to reimagine it, how we conceive it, and then we’ll optimally decide who’s the best talent that fits,” he said.

You can’t just make up a talk show and throw it on the air. It has to be developed and you have to find the right talent, hire staff and then test it.

I was going to say, what's Magic Johnson doing right now, he might be free.

Re: Writers Strike 2023
As I've mentioned before, I was a producer and then ultimately an executive producer for a local daytime talk show and helped develop it before it launched. With a fraction of the budget, staff and viewership of a national show, it still took years from initial concept to our premiere to bring it together. And it was based on an old show that was also produced at our same station.

But does anyone here really feel like they need this show on the air right now? Like, I still have a backlog of stuff to watch even with the 5 month strike.
BTW, talking about talk shows that went poorly reminds me of the Australian show Get Krack!n:

Consequences of a long strike. Some staff writers for Superman and Lois and All American Homecoming were let go.
