Saturday Night Live Staff Fired

Posted by Shane on Sunday, November 18, 2007 at 12:51 am

Saturday Night Live was expected to be one of the early strike victims due to the nature of the show, and now the New York Post has received word from multiple sources that almost all of the production staff of SNL, even long-term employees, were informed Friday that they were being let go, reportedly without severence.

Regardless, the crew put on a non-televised show yesterday that will benefit the Writer’s Guild strike fund.

Other late night shows are left scrambling. Jay Leno and Conan O’Brien are reportedly in secret talks to return, though if they don’t, their staff, too, will suffer a similar fate. However, David Letterman will be paying his staff through the holidays out of his own pocket.
