WGA Strike - Milli Vanilli hold press conference
Posted on November 1, 2007 in the Ranting category
First let me start by saying that I highly doubt that the strike will actually happen and, if it does, it will be less than a day. The reason? MONEY. Tons of advertiser money would be going down the tubes if primetime shows have to play reruns. This, of course, would really tick off the advertisers who likely pay a premium to have spots run during a first-run show versus a repeat. If you tick off the advertisers, they wont pay for your show, and you are worse off than before.
Actually, the real shocker for me is finding out that late show hosts (i.e. Leno, Letterman, Stewart) need help writing material. Huh?! I thought they were pros, comedians, whatever you want to call them, were genuinely funny, witty guys. So are you telling me that they just deliver what is written for them? I kind of feel like I did when I found out Milli Vanilli were fakes.
