When Ellen DeGeneres announced that she was going to continue filming her show despite the writers’ walkout, the WGA responded in the strongest possible terms, excoriating her and calling for boycotts and pickets.
Now David Letterman, Jay Leno, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert–none of whom happen to be gay women–have announced that they will be returning to work.
Thus far the WGA has been remarkably quiet on the announcement. Letterman’s World Wide Pants is endeavoring to cut a separate deal with the WGA, but there’s nothing definite, and Letterman will likely be returning regardless of whether he has a writing staff or not.
I find that curious, this sudden silence. Is the WGA really standing on principle? Or was Ellen simply seen as an easier target?
