The people who write his monologue and other portions of his show were on strike. However, the writers' labor union and and the various TV networks, etc. recently came to a new contract and the writers are back on the job pending the union members' ratification of the new contract via the union members' voting whether or not to accept the contract. The existence of a pending contract legally eliminates the reason for the strike. Let's hope the the members think it's a good contract and vote to ratify it! I like Jay Leno, too.

The writers are on strike in Hollywood. As a result, no one is writing scripts or jokes for Leno. Leno can't do his show without jokes, so NBC is showing repeats until the strike is over.

Because the writers are on strike and most shows are reruns until the picket lines come down

writers are on strike -- all the late night shows are in re-runs right now. I guess it's not big news outside of LA.
