Ellen Bows to Pressure Cancels New York Taping

They’re talking about it on the picket line at NBC Studios in Burbank, and all across the country. The latest development in the Writer’s strike is that Ellen DeGeneres will not be taping her show in New York as planned. A huge protest was being scheduled there by the union. Ellen may have miscalculated the amount of negative press she would receive after crossing the picket line here.

Writers to Ellen: "You're a Wormy Scab!!!"

Ellen DeGeneres’ decision to sneak in the back gate at NBC Studios in order to cross the picket line isn’t sitting well with many union members. The Teamsters and Screen Actors Guild have joined with the Writers in solidarity. Writers for the Ellen DeGeneres Show continue to strike for fair compensation from DVD sales and internet distribution.

Not all Hollywood stars have turned a deaf ear to their coworkers. According to Joe Medeiros, Head Writer for the Tonight Show, Jay Leno and others continue to stop by daily to lend their support for the Writers.

If cars passing by and honking is any measure of support then there is definitely a lot of support for the writers.
