Ellen DeGeneres Cancels New York Show

After crossing picket lines and then received a harsh statement from the Writer’s Guild, Ellen DeGeneres cancelled plans to film her show from New York. The Writer’s Guild said:

Ellen is both a member a the WGA and AFTRA. Which is why the Writers Guild Of America East issued the statement it did last Friday headlined "Ellen Is Not Welcome In NY." The guild had pledged to "certainly let Ellen know our dissatisfaction in person if she decides to proceed with the shows she has scheduled [and] make our voices heard the preceding week if she tries to pre-tape comedy segments on location."

Ellen is a writer too, and she needs to do her best to show them proper respect, while at the same time honoring her contractual obligations. Maybe she could have some of the Writer’s Guild on her show to talk about the strike.
