Why is Jennings not part of SAG? I find it hard to believe the union is cool with a host not being a member unless they don’t care about game show hosts in general, which is on them.

gowan@reddthat.com 1 year agoShe is part of SAG. SAG is striking so she needs to in order to remain in the union. Jennings is NOT part of SAG and there’s no reason for him to join the strike as that would harm all the other staff on the show who would be out of work.

The important part is that he is already an employee there who does this job already. If he wasn’t and he was hired to do the job because he’s not union he would be a scab.
