A little "creative" input perhaps?

I know nothing about TV production. What input would writers have on
unscripted TV shows?

Um...can you cite the name of an "unscripted tv show"? Even the evening
news is scripted. The script may be as sketchy as an outline or as
detailed as mandated dialog (e.g. 99% of all Star Trek episodes).
But there are still "writers".
