2. Please TMZ, why is this filed under wacky and wierd? Maybe because you were sooo wrong last week. I thought Jay was very nice to your guy. Although I felt sorry for your guy when he had to say TMZ!

3. Jay is a stand-up guy and has been doing this all along

just because he doesn't blow his own horn and issue statements that prove what a great guy he is-doesn't me he hasn't been doing anything

the writers chose to strike
during most strikes the star doesn't pay the employees-since he doesn't own the show-what a generous thing he is doing

you know he is friendly with all his staff and doesn't want to see them have problems paying their mortgages and bills--

nbc has had to lay off people on this show also because of the strike

you can bet Jay isn't forgetting them either

4. Why should he pay them? They choose to go on strike and cost him money but he has to pay them out of his own account. Im sure there are thousands of people out there that can replace these writers. Sorry but I have no sympathy for any group that intentionally stops working and causing a company money. If you dont like your job or feel the money & benefits are good enough then get another job. Sad part is that they are costing the companies millions and we the consumer will end up eating it at the box offices.

Jay, keep your money & hire new writers.

5. they are on strike the writters won't get paid it's the other staff that will get paid. They want a pay check they have to go back to work.

8. That smuck has never allowed a singer guest star to sit down in chat on the couch. He makes us artist stand the whole time and barely say a word. Why? He thinks we may pass gas. I’m glad that his writers went on strike. Good. I can't wait until the old geezer retires.

Posted at 9:50AM on Dec 3rd 2007 by Jay's nice???

9. I know a writer for Leno who got a $3000 Christmas bonus, thats not chump change. I guess not all writers get the same bonus, it is based on material used . Sorry you have to earn it and going on strike won't earn you any money...

12. My My how bad publicity can suddenly change things. This guy was getting shred to pieces over the weekend. Guess he and his people read this board.

Ah, its no big deal him paying, what is it two corporate weekend gigs worth of money to him?

Or one less classic auto to buy? Interesting though to read some of the behind the scences comments about this man and his behaviour. Sounds like an A number One selfish jerk with a boston accent.

Glad his days are numbered and than he can go sit in his cars all day

13. Jay, pay everyone but the writers. It's their strike and they knew going in that they will not get paid.

14. He's paying the non-writers ... you people need to learn how to read ... the non-writers (I am one for another show) make between $1000 - $1500/ wk. People in this tax bracket can't afford to take months off work like many of the greedy writers/actors. Contrary to popular belief, most of the non-writer/actor crews DON'T support the writers strike. Most of the writers striking don't even rely on entertainment writing for their living. They write in other capacities to pay the mortgage. I NEED to work to pay my bills, this is all that I do ... nothing else. I think it's great what these guys are doing for their crews. Actors on the other shows frozen by the strike should follow ...
