Carson Gets Flamed

Filed under: TV News

wenn1666588__opt.jpg

The bitter war between the hollywood writers and the evil media mogul wages on! And Carson Daly has once again been caught in the crossfire of the volatile work stoppage.

Earlier this week, a group of striking scribes infiltrated a taping of Daly's NBC talk show.

Carson is the first and (thus far only) late night host to cross the picket line and return to work.

Daly was "clearly disconcerted" and "visibly rattled" when the striking writers disrupted an interview he was conducting.

About 20 undercover writers ended up walking out of the show after the disruption.

Stay strong, scribes.

Fight the power!

      These writers are turning into total asshats! They are behaving like Nazi's harassing, spamming, bullying and intimidating everyone who doesn't agree with them and take their side. Carson has his own issues, as does everyone else in the fight who has lost their job with nothing to gain from this strike. I have had it with them….sympathy…OVER.

      Perez….seriously…lay off! If you really want to show solidarity with the writers union then shut your site down until the strike ends. But then, I guess that would put your staff…umm writers…out of work, and who wants that on their conscience right before the holidays?

      32

      75 people would have been fired if he didnt go back on the air. Hes not wga, and there are only 4 wga writers on the show. Theres more at stake here than writers future residuals. Fuck them and their strike.

      Yes i agree at the being of the strike i was like cool they want whats deserved to them but now its just getting riducless. the writers dont care who else they hurt with the strike cause no matter what they get paid especially when the networks play reruns but all this below the line who are out of work and could possibly lose everything but all the writers care about is money not about anyone

      I'm GLAD that Carson was Flamed by members of the W.G.A. What an affront to the WRITERS…Anyhow, I hope that his SHITTY show is cancelled anyways. Carson lacks the edge/skill/charisma/spontonaeity/humour/interviewing abilities etc.etc. to pull "IT" off. I have only watched Carson maybe 3x and have found it 2 be totally LACKLUSTER. I've wondered HOW & WHY this HBOOOOOORING Dude is still on the air…'New blood is definitely REQUIRED…Paid Programming is more exciting than this Crappy "Show……….."

      What is interesting is that according to Carson, he was given a choice of going back on air or the staff of the show, which is 75 people would be fired. He has altogether a total of 4 writers for his show. I doubt he makes the money that Leno and the others make to pay the salaries of 75 people. If the choice was to save 75 peoples jobs at the expense of 4 people I support his decision. You forget that all these actors that are walking off set to support the writers can afford to not be paid….What about the stage hands? The Grips? These people are getting nothing, and do you really think that the writers, directors, producers, or actors give two shits about the real people and offer any support when it is their turn for better wages?

      I support Carsons' decision to go back to work. In current economic environment no real people can afford to not work.

      Remember the average salary of a writer in the WGA is over $200,000 a year.

      Carson is Ryan Seacrest Sr. How Carson or Ryan got jobs hosting shows about music is one the mysteries of the Universe. Neither of them knows a thing about music, unless it is Beonce, Madonna or Nikleback sing it.

      The only person hated more in the industry is Ryan Seacrest. Its amazing that two guys who are disliked but just about everyone, and respected by hardly anyone works as much as they do.

      Actually, I think he's gone one with production because he doesn't want his ginormous staff to lose their jobs.. He even had a hotline open for the public to leave him material so he could go on… I thought it was rather clever.

      Perez,
      The word scribe is not usually used to describe someone who produces creative works, more of a clerk or gatherer of information..like you. You are a scribe. Also, I want to point out how only in America can you be unattractive, lazy, stupid (growing up laying in bed watching tv all day like a veal calf) and someone be paid hundreds of thousands of dollars. Congrats.

      EEEWWWW he looks like the dark-haired version of my ex in this picture!
      (shudder) Aside from that, some other people bring up very good points… he actually CARES that the other 75 people on his show would be without jobs during Christmas… what would you do? If you'd spent years on a show seeing the same people's faces day after day, they're like family. If and when the strike ends, he would have had to face these people again and say "I'm sorry you couldn't pay bills or buy Christmas presents, but I couldnt do the show because of the strike"? LAME! This is the best alternative given, like someone else said, he can't pay these people out of his own pocket like Leno or Letterman. Writers are still getting residuals even though theyre on the picket lines, for their work that's being aired on tv, as are the actors who refuse to cross or whose productions have shut down… hairstylist, costumers, drivers, set construction, grips, etc on those shows… are making NOTHING right now! Wake up people!

      HOW DARE THEY. I hope their names are taken down and they never work in Hollywood again. THIS IS AMERICA. You want to strike, fine. Interrupt a business…go screw yourself. How come rights only count for some people? And what about all the other people that are being hurt by this strike? The people who really need the money. I hope this all blows up in their faces. Greedy little bastards.

      If the guy has a right to work and keep the show going for the other people who work on his show. There are hundreds of talented people in LA, I hope this gives them a chance to break through and make some money (instead of working at the spaghetti factory full-time).

      I am so sick of the strike talk. And Perez, why are you so passionately involved with supporting the strike. It is soooooooooooo boring for an "entertainment" site. No one cares outside of a 10 mi area of LA, the rest of the world that reads you just wants celebrity dish. Reading about you preaching solidarity with the writers is just not good entertainment.

      Im sure some whiny people will get mad that I wrote this but its true.

      OMG, The Writer's Strike is STILL going on?? I thought that was done and over with already. I hope Carson does lose his show, he's arrogant and thinks he's better and hotter than everyone else (even though he's uglier than a pit-bull's backside) and his jokes are SO NOT FUNNY - EVER.

      That is a pussy bull shit thing to do. Fire them! Look the big networks are going down with cable and internet media. Yea the suits should give them a piece of the action, but they should be happy to have a job. Get a temp contract and go to work and make money for the people that pay your salary. When its clear whats going on with internet and DVD, than work out a deal.

      FIrst of all Carson DID NOT want to cross the picket line, but the same a$$hole producers that are not wanting to pay the writers came to Carson with an Ultimatum. Go back to work or 75 of your closest friends who work on the show are going to get fired for Christmas. With no alternative he was forced to go back to work for his co-workers. I assure you Carson has plenty of money and did not need to go back to work…. He was doing it for the livelyhood of the 75 innocent victims who work on his show.

      78

      Carson's situation is not like that of other late night talk hosts. The writing staff on his show is ALOT less important than on the others. He doesn't have the personal cash to pay his staff through a strike. His show is not that popular & in a sucky late-late slot, so he's probably worried about losing the show and all the jobs it supports if he takes a stand. He is nowhere in the league of Leno and Letterman and it's unfair to expect him to do as they do. I heard his interview on KROQ (probably like the others supporting him here) and he sounded genuinely stressed and upset about his dilemma, totally unlike his usual calm (bland & boring) self.

      carson also crossed picket lines a few years back and shot a commercial during the SAG/AFTRA commercial strike. what a dick.

      Now I am all for the writers getting their much needed benefits and money from the internet sales. But I think it is really selfish of them to try to force people to lose their jobs. The non writing staff of late night with carson daly would have lost their jobs if he didnt come back to work.

      Carson's jokes always suck really badly anway, so maybe he just needs to get some new writers….
