Talk Show News' could you please pass this message to Nell Scovell--

Executive Producer for the Late show:
Barbara Gaines
and Maria Pope are females.
and more than 58 percent of the employees on WWP are females.
It really pisses me off when people like this bitch writes an article for money to sell a magazine (which are goin bankrupt right now)
when the top ranking position is a female.

There is no law that says you have to have 50 percent female and 50 percent male
or you have to hire 10 female writers for 10 male---there are more males in some jobs and females on others--what the fuck is wrong with that??

I think it is an insult to those female workers at the late show when u start writing articles about 'hostile work environment' to make easy bucks.

And, people!!! expect more of these type of article to come out in the future coz it sells magazine.
Thats the bottom line.

@"I"

"Isn't that because they're on a cable network, not a broadcast network?"

Exactly; it's foolish to be worrying about how a woman's presence will make a male writer mind his tongue when network "Standards and Practices" so sharply constrain what he can say in the first place.

She makes some very interesting comments about the lack of women writers on Tonight, The Late Show, Late Night, and how male writers might be concerned about watching what they say in front of a female writer. Of course, the only reliably funny (and smart) shows on at late night (The Daily Show, Colbert) DO have female writers... and they say things that the other shows would never say.
