Why have 120+ staffers, writers, etc when maybe you can get by with 110?<BR/><BR/>I feel badly for those who were let go, but at the same time, the ones complaining about Jay sound totally naive. NBC wasn't going to pay for a show that isn't filming. Jay has no control over what the Network does (if he did, would he be leaving in 2009?!). At the end of the day, this is a business, and they should know that. They've known a strike was coming for months. If they want to be mad at someone, at least be mad at the writers. And I'm not saying the writers are wrong, but again, it's a business. The strike has consequences, which is that non writing staffers are going to get laid off. <BR/><BR/>As for Jay I don't know if he has a publicist/advisor. He has a spokesperson who's been quoted in the news I think. I don't know how this thing snowballed into such bad press for him. It's crazy. It's partly his fault, cuz he should've known with Conan and Letterman paying their staffs, he'd was going to be pressured to do the same. But to have headlines say stuff like "Leno Fires Staff" when it was NBC not him, just seems crazy! Not to mention his own staffers bitching at him in the press.

No mention of next week so who knows if he'll continue. <BR/><BR/>I feel a bit sorry for him, b/c he's gotten really bad press over this, and has essentially been forced/guilted into covering his staff b/c of it. The staffers who complained about Jay letting them down seemed really ungrateful IMO. They are mad at Jay when it's not his fault NBC fired them. Did they really think NBC was going to keep paying them, when no show is being produced?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33928640.post-30128646678061525392007-12-03T20:15:00.000-08:002007-12-03T20:15:00.000-08:00LMBBO! girl, this was a good one.
