Season Fifteen of Late Night with Conan O'Brien premiered on September 4, 2007. The season was interrupted nearly 40 episodes in due to the Writers Guild strike which commenced in early November. Because late night shows write and record episodes daily, they were the first to go into repeats due to a lack of a writing staff.

Late Night gained some headlines during the strike when Conan O'Brien announced that he would continue to pay his staff out of his own pocket through the end of the year. Because O'Brien is not a particularly highly paid host, especially when compared to the similar gesture by David Letterman, he was commended by the entertainment press.

Guests booked for the cancelled week of shows include Alec Baldwin, Bill Hader, Heidi Klum, Lou Dobbs, Seth Green and Peter Greenberg. Musical guests for the week included Band of Horses, Grizzly Bear and Jackie Greene. Whether or not their appearances will get priority rescheduling once the show returns, strike or no strike, is unknown.

It was announced in mid-December that Late Night will return on January 2nd without writers after showing solidarity for two months. The show will be forced to undergo a change in format that will lean heavily towards interviews, improv and musical guests. Among the things cut from regular episodes will be the announcer's dialogue, pre-written sketches and the monologue.
