Rob McElhenney challenges studios to continue paying the staffs of TV shows shuttered over coronavirus

Deadline

The Mythic Quest: Raven's Banquet star and showrunner published a lengthy Twitter thread Saturday expressing concern to workers displaced by TV show shutdowns. "The studios who have not committed to continuing payroll are NOT evil," he tweeted. "There are many factors that have to be reconciled and it's easy to be on one side of things and make judgments. The truth is that continued payment for an indefinite period is untenable, but...Recognizing that this won't be over in two weeks, a month, three months -- we're all going to have to, at some point decide what a responsible return to work will look like."
