It should be up to the performer.

She is so interesting (much more than 13!) so of course she had to go. Agree about Cutthroat. She is so interesting (much more than 13!) so of course she had to go.

Maybe it'll improve without them? I don't think it can go any further the other way... But on the other hand, like you said, the brilliance of 30 Rock just shows that there are many writers who are worth $$$$$. This show just cannot do wrong. I loved the parody of the Iraq war ("Fun Times Accomplished"), and everything with Liz, Frank, and her hot boytoy. Carson Daly’s show wasn’t funny with writers. Maybe it’ll improve without them?

Okay-now I have to admit I don't watch Last Call with Carson Daly, but give this guy a break. 75 workers could lose their jobs if Carson Daly continued to halt the show for his four writers. I'm all for the writers being better compensated -- but I'm not thrilled how they have gone about some things. 1) they worked to get extra scripts wrote before the strike so shows could still be produced for awhile ---- then they have gone and tried shutting down shows that were still in production, I don't get it. Why did they bother writing extra scripts. 2) they have been picking and shutting what to shut down. They've protested at DH, Scrubs and such -- but I've heard nothing about protesting locations of movies. I keep seeing pics from Star Trek, they're not disturbed by the writers. 3) they way they've treated Ellen, and now Carson Daly. yes I think the writers should get respect and they are not paid nearly enough (compared to what others in the industry make). The actors are paid so much more. But I also think the whole industry is paid too much. I know, the studios make huge amounts of money so I really do think they should work toward meeting the writers demands. I just feel sorry for those who aren't the writers and work week to week at their jobs on the crew. WIth this being Christmas, they could use their pay too -- and I have a feeling a costume or set designer doesn't get a cut of the DVDs sales. Broadway figured it out-- come on studios, WGA you can too 30 Rock was so funny this week, just a perfect episode.
