Comment on Mayim Bialik Declines to Host ‘Celebrity Jeopardy!’ Amid Strikes, Replaced by Ken Jennings

A scab is hired to replace someone who is striking. He had previously (as in years) been hired to replace Bialik when she was unavailable. Due to her commitments to the strike, she is unavailable. He, not being a member of the WGA or SAG, has no commitments to the strike, but does have commitments to his contract, which states he is to replace Bialik when she is unavailable. Does that make sense?

So Jennings had a clause to replace Bialiik, and it's being used to make them scab?
Sounds very scummy on the network's part.

It’s not scabbing if it’s already your job. He’s not being hired to replace her, he already works for them.
