“The writers’ strike is no laughing matter for Jay Leno and David Letterman — especially when it comes to their wallets.

It is costing the late night talk show hosts a reported $100,000 a night.

Leno, 57, and Letterman, 60, have not received a paycheck from their networks — NBC and CBS, respectively — since the strike started November 5, New York Post quotes TV industry sources as saying.In the first nine days of the strike, they have each lost a total of more than $700,000, according to the Post. (They are not paid on the weekends.)

Leno, host of The Tonight Show, earns around $27 million a year, while Letterman, host of Late Show with David Letterman, rakes in a reported $31.5 million.

Letterman is continuing to pay his production staff, the Post reports, though it remains unclear how long that will continue. Meanwhile, NBC officials said they may layoff non-writing staffers by the end of the week.”

That’s real money right there….

Dave Letterman is paying his writers out of his own pocket during strike!

Via Deadlinehollywooddaily….

David Letterman and his producers yesterday morning announced to his Late Show staff that they will be paid through the end of the year even though the show isn’t on the air during the writers strike.

“Dave’s not doing this to get good press, which is why it hasn’t been reported for almost two days,” a source said. “This is really significant because, as opposed to all of the other shows, this money comes out of Dave’s own pocket.” When Late Show stopped making new episodes last week, CBS ceased paying Letterman’s production company.

That’s a nice thing Dave.
