Wow, I thought this was the insurance journal not Variety or People weekly. A stretch now and then makes a little sense but this article adds no value at all!
Relax Bob, if you didn’t think reading the article was ‘good use’ of your time, then why read it and why spend the time to comment about it? It might be a stretch… but I say this article is related to EPLI – so it does ‘fit’. (smile)
Unless there’s some high-falutin’ entertainment insurance policy out there covering wrongful termination of a network employee (re: reality-show cast member or producing person/entity) which, since the guy pitched the concept to networks, most likely engendered some sort of “producer” credit; heck, the way Hollywood does things nowadays anybody who sneezes on a writer’s script can parlay that into a screen credit!
The same old crap. Give me money and I’ll go away!! Oral contract?? Since this guy wasn’t smart enough to get everything in writing, he should get zip!!
Chumlee is actually being named in the suit, which indicates a goodly amount of involvement in the show. Do you honestly think he’s as dumb as his character is shown, or do you think it’s for the show?
I can hear the trial now: Plantiff wants 10mil, Rick offers him 10k, Plantiff says he won’t take less than 5mil, Rick says his best offer is 15K, they end up settling for 20K and a baseball signed by Pete Rose.
Does anyone else think it is odd that this guy had no written contract for his services? Isn’t that like step one on doing business for these types of things? Odd.
Love the show. He’ll need all the luck he can garner based on his so-called oral contract. Even if he was actually wronged here having no written contract leaves him holding the preverbial bag.
Oral contact in this day and age? Mr. Jefferies should have spent more time watching The People’s Court or Judge Judy – maybe if he visits the shop the ‘boys’ will give him a great deal on a fountain pen!

Whenever there’s a lawsuit, it’s usually because someone has good insurance.
Not to be too critical of the cast, but what’s the over/under on Chumlee’s IQ being 47 ?

No tickee, no pawnee. Unless one is on the Pawnee res, natch. They just don’t want the tickee; makes for itchee. And How. Hakawee.

Have we really run out of enough things to bash AIG over that we are reading this?
Are you familiar with the phrase, “Beating a dead horse?” I suppose AIG-bashing has run it’s course, so on to new fodder! ;P
