WRITERS’ STRIKE AFTERMATH: AXE FALLS AT ‘SNL’
November 17, 2007 - 2:32 pm
In 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 the New York Post’s 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."
