  I highly doubt this. He gave a good reason to scab, even if I disagree with his decision.

    Did he though? I bet the staff wouldn’t be struggling so much if he paid them more in the first place. Nvm there’s plenty of other ways to help your staff as proven by others.

      Yep, read his statement explaining why he's coming back

        Yeah, I’m sure he’s doing it for the lowest paid people on his show, not too fill his bank account or anything… I’m sure he’s paid a similar amount to all of his staff /s

      People struggle when they don’t get paid due to not working.

      Writers, the ones complaining, get paid a shitload for their work. They get paid $100k for about 7 weeks work…and they want more… and they’ve somehow convinced the public who earn significantly less than them to stand up for them and fight to make them more money lol. One of the best grifts of all time tbh.
