Hans Across The Interwebs

Almost the entire staff of SNL got fired. This is really crazy, but it could be awesome for us - the consumer. It could end up being the start of an Internet Comedy Explosion. Or something to that effect.

To illustrate: there used to be this TV channel called TechTV. It was doing pretty well and had some interesting talent. Then Viacom decided to ditch 90 percent of the shows and lay off pretty much everyone. Then: Twit network, Diggnation, Revision3 all happened and I’m sure some more I don’t know about.

So I’m hoping these fired comedic writers will wake up and smell the Internet Comedy. That could be pretty exciting. Here’s hoping anyways.

STRIKEBOUND ‘SNL’ SWINGS AX: “N its first dramatic move since the beginning of the Writers Guild strike, NBC has fired ‘nearly the entire production staff’ of its struggling, late-night staple, ‘Saturday Night Live,’ sources told Page Six.

One tipster told us, ‘ ‘SNL’ laid off all their staff until further notice. Their production staff, even long-term employees, were let go.’ Another source confirmed that ‘90 percent of the ‘SNL’ staff was fired.’”
