Leno's staffers were fired. Did anyone read this? Man
Wow, Regardless of what money he gave people after he'd been on the air for 10 years, it's just lousy. That said I've not found him funny nor have I watched him for years.
We use the latest in scientific technology and state-of-the-art weaponry and you, if I understand correctly, poke them with a sharp stick.

it's being reported now that Leno is paying his laid off workers. for whatever that's worth.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I watched Newsies this afternoon, in a show of strike support. Cradle Will Rock next?

Ah... well then. I guess as I am not a Leno staffer I don't have up to date information. Good job me!

Leno didn't fire them; NBC did.

Just because his name is on the show it doesn't make him in charge of firing the staff. Be careful who you are pointing fingers at folks.

Also, I don't think it's fair that just because some awesome folks are taking money out of their own pockets to pay laid off staff (Jon Stewart, David Letterman, Conan O'Brien etc.) other folks should be vilified for not doing it. The Jay Lenos are not the bad guys here.
