Comment on Mayim Bialik Declines to Host ‘Celebrity Jeopardy!’ Amid Strikes, Replaced by Ken Jennings
Neato@kbin.social 10 months agoAre Jeopardy writers union? If so the show can't be filmed without them. And generally if you're writing staff is on strike and the company hires scabs to fill that position, the rest of the crew (that can afford to) should strike in solidarity.

I thought Ken Jennings was a cool dude. This doesn't feel like a cool dude move.
Scabbing or not, it's semantics, but supporting the strike seems right to me. Though like you mentioned there's the rest of the crew to think about. Maybe they need this check.

We went on strike a bit over a month ago. A lot of white collar workers and managers were 100% on our side and weren’t even mad at being blocked coming in to work. They still came in and did what they had to. No hard feelings at all.
