Now...Kimmel's Back
One more late night guy is about to cross the picket...err, go back to work: Jimmy Kimmel and ABC announced a few minutes ago that "Jimmy Kimmel Live" will return Jan. 2, along with the two NBC late nighters that announced yesterday.
It now appears that the template is set: Plead pity for the financial well-being of those who depend upon you and then go back to work. Here's Jimmy's statement:
“Though it makes me sick to do so without my writers, there are more than a hundred people whose financial well-being depends on our show. It is time to go back to work. I support my colleagues and friends in the WGA completely and hope this ends both fairly and soon."
In fairness, it has got to have been a tough decision for everyone involved, especially hosts. The only exception: the Big Bad Studios who are sitting back, refusing to negotiate, torturing once valued employees, and apparently enjoying the view of the wreckage they have created.
