The Writers' Guild Lay Off Leno
The WGA West is no longer accusing Jay Leno of violating the rules of the writers' strike that hit Hollywood in 2007/early 2008!
The WGA West had claimed Leno, a Writers' Guild member, violated strike rules by writing his own monologues for The Tonight Show.
Three other writers were not cleared by the Guild and were subsequently found guilty on Tuesday of:
- "Performing writing services during the strike on a one-hour pilot teleplay"
- "Refusing to cooperate with the Strike Rules Compliance Committee in connection with an investigation of prohibited writing services alleged to have been performed on film"
- "Writing and submitting scripts to a struck company for a daytime serial"
But Leno got off scot free! Not a single strike violation!
They're Running Low On Stars!
…perhaps because they want to make some cash with his new show? Just a guess.
The writers strike ruined an entire season of television. What a waste.
It must be nice being Jay Leno.
Re: karencarpenter – hey you♥
writers guild?? that does not sound like a writers guild, but like a totalitarian dicktatership.
Late night needs Leno
And Leno, the compulsive workaholic, needs late night
FUCKING WRITERS KILLED HOLLYWOOD!
.
It will come back…. when the studios realize they can't spread out the work force and expect professional results. There was a reason Hollywood was created in the first place. To have a concentrated, professional work force that knew what the fuck they were doing!
OF COURSE… DIFFERENT RULES FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS. WHO EVER SAID HOLLYWOOD WAS FAIR AND EQUITABLE??? WAKE THE FUCK UP MARIO!! CAUSE ALL THOSE DOUCHE BAG WRITERS WHO VOTED FOR THE VIOLATIONS ARE THE SAME ONES WHO WILL JUMP AT THE CHANCE TO WRITE FOR LENO. DAMN HYPOCRITES AND HOLLYWOOD IS FULL OF THEM!!!!
Heeeeeeerrrrreeeeee'ssssss Johnny!!!!!!!!
Why have you not posted the Camila Belle photos where she is with her hot new Beau! Way better than that jonas dude!
Because their rules stated they could write for their own performances during the strike.
the strike threw my family into turmoil financially and it would have been nice for everyone to follow the rules like they were supposed to. probably the guild needs the % of his income they get from dues to keep functioning.
