As the strike by the Writers Guild lumbers toward the end of its first month, more people in the Hollywood community find themselves hitting the pavement, as NBC confirms that non-writing staff members of The Tonight Show With Jay Leno have been given the axe.

Jay Leno, host of the late-night mainstay, which has been in reruns since Nov. 5, has not issued a comment yet on the situation. His fellow NBC night owl, Conan O'Brien, has been going deep into his own pocket to pay the salaries of approximately 75 non-striking members of his staff.
