Threat to the Production Leads to Removal?

During a studio tour, visitors got a good view of how things were run in a network. Perhaps the success of this network is in the independence of its program departments that are segregated based on the genre. On that day, the visitors noticed that the point person (PP) of the comedy group (CG) seemed to be a bit irate. However, being a professional, PP toured the group and gave a glimpse of the responsibilities that go with the work.

The mobile phone of PP rang, and apparently, PP was informed of a minor problem with the audience during the taping of a comedy show. One of the audience raised a dirty finger, which the camera captured. PP sighed with relief as that part could be edited. Of course, PP had to be careful as the network would not want a repeat of the nonchalant cursing of a studio audience in their live show.

After a while, the phone rang again. This time, the tour group saw how PP got more irate. One of the staff called PP to inform the head that virile actor (VA) threatened not to show up in the taping of his comedy show if his drama series will not be returned to its original time slot. PP had to call VA and explain to him that the decision of the drama department is not within PP’s powers. PP had to beg VA to stay with the comedy show, but based on her reaction, VA seemed to be adamant to leave the comedy show if his condition will not be granted.

Then, PP blurted out, to the shock of the tour group, “Well, if you do not want to return to the show, fine! I’ll just look for your replacement!”

Now, does VA think he is really that important to the network? VA already did a few actions that made viewers and netizens uncomfortable and turned off recently. Of course, his network did not have an official statement regarding his stunts, and it was assumed that management was cool about them. Incidentally, the comedy show has garnered awards, commendable ratings, and an indefinite run, while his drama series is also garnering ratings but has a more definite period for running.

As we ask if VA will make good on his threat, he was missed in the last episode, and a quick check on the wikipage of the comedy show has interesting information – the absence of VA in the current cast list. Moreover, his drama series is still on a later time.

The once invincible golfer, Tiger Woods, seems to have learned that “money and fame made me believe I was entitled. I was wrong and foolish.” Will VA ever learn?
