This would be huge for the NBC project if true. I would think Justin would be able to get on Leno to promote this week - and it would help the potential series go forward if it comes to pass.If members of the Writers Guild of America react favorably to the proposed deal, the guild's board could vote Sunday to lift the strike order and the industry could be up and running Monday. This month's Oscars ceremony, which has been under the cloud of a union and actors boycott, also would be a winner.
