She works on scripted programs. He doesn’t. So, this strikes me as an equitable solution among co-hosts that gains media traction, which is the point. -- nm - The Allfather May 12, 14:04 15
- If Jeopardy has writers then he should be supporting them by not working. -- nm* - Krusty May 12, 14:15 9
  - He's not a writer for the show though. -- nm - Reagen May 12, 14:46 8
    - He's using their work, no? -- nm - Krusty May 12, 15:01 7
      - Shows continue to run based on previously written stuff. If he was writing new stuff that's a problem. -- nm - Reagen May 12, 15:04
      - By this logic, every production should close during the writer's strike. -- nm - David May 12, 15:04 5
        
        Correct. They should. If the people that write the work you're using are on strike, I believe you should be on strike with them. -- (edited) - Krusty May 12, 15:14
        
        that's a question for non-writers who have contractual obligations. but in general, yes. Steve Carell shut The Office down in 2007 out of solidarity -- (link) - hollywood big shot May 12, 15:08 3
        
        in theory showrunners are obligated to perform non-writing duties on shows wearing their producer hats. unlike 2007, almost none of them are complying -- nm - hollywood big shot May 12, 15:12
        
        That was a show where a great portion of the actors were also writers for it. -- nm - Reagen May 12, 15:12 1
        
        they had scripts in the can to shoot (the Dinner Party ep). Steve just said he wouldn't do it, contract notwithstanding -- nm - hollywood big shot May 12, 15:13
- *thor ragnarok* "Does she, though?" -- nm - Beryllium May 12, 14:12
- scabbing is scabbing -- nm - hollywood big shot May 12, 14:06 3
  - Meh. -- nm - The Allfather May 12, 14:07 2
    - It's wrong and I'm sure it won't be forgotten. You have to support the people on the lines. -- nm - Krusty May 12, 14:16
    - Kamala Harris isn’t in any guild and canceled on MTV so as to not cross the picket line. fuck the bosses -- nm - hollywood big shot May 12, 14:08
I will not, sir. -- nm - mud ♪ May 12, 13:57 1
- He's probably all bone and sinew and other trivia-adjacent viscera. -- nm - Beryllium May 12, 14:13
