Sorry for the lag gents.  Here are some potential broad topics. Feel free to run any ideas by me if you like, or write first ask later if you prefer.  Also, noah had a question about being paid.  I forwarded the email to Kevin Wassong and Charlie Mangano so hook up with them directly at kevin@minyanville.com or mangano@minyanville.com if there are any checks due.

 

Writers' Strike:  Hollywood TV and film scripts aren't the only ones affected by the writers' strike.  So is Hoofy and Boo's News and Views.  Possibly a Yahoo format script that opens with a worse than usual business brief and Hoofy and Boo off camera discussing how the writers' stike is ruining their program and what they plan to do about it. 

 

CEO Preemptive Firings:  In this episode, possibly to run during the holidays, Hoofy and Boo are recording "Breaking News" segments announcing CEOs who have been fired.  The catch is that the CEOs havent actually been fired yet, they are just recording preemptive firings, imagining all scenarios of firings, in anticipation of firings taking place during their vacations.
