• Jim, Dave and Irv are such idiots, and the place is run like a (bad) fraternity house, that they’ll probably promote her.

• “Why is the agent always the last to know when clients are taking meetings?”

  Probably because you can’t “take” a meeting… Or, did they “do” lunch?
  Seriously, you make me laugh with all the “cool” Hollywood-speak….

• A lot of panic and insecurity inside WMA right now. Not to mention a lot frustration towards the senior management. Only a matter of time before it filters to the clients.

  But why go to Endeavor if it only means you are a WMA client within a few months if this rumored merger goes through?

• Am I the only one that thought ‘The Rocker’ was funny? Yeah, I guess I’m the only one.

• Oh, Rainn was repped by Gaby. That explains a lot. Wait ’til you see how these actors pop, once they get out from under her “guidance.”

• Spanish Dove -

  I thought The Rocker was funny, too.

  Glad to see Rainn further spreading his wings, professionally-speaking.

• I guess he Rainned on Gaby’s parade!
  She is evil and must be destroyed.

• I don’t understand why she wont step down or why Jim and Dave wont get rid of her. she is such bad news.. anyone who asks people inside the agency or on the outside would tell them that she is hurting them. No one of any promise is going to come to that agency with Gaby running the talent…

  Read the posts… Talk to people… Morgerman needs to leave

• No, Paloma, you’re not. I too really enjoyed the much-too-underseen THE ROCKER. Check it out folks, you’ll thank me later.

• Rainn Wilson has topped out people. This is as far as he goes no matter who reps him.

• It’s just a matter of time before they get rid of Gaby Morgerman. Nobody that nasty can last. The only reason she has lasted this long is because of her husband.

• Did she put him in Six Feet Under? If she did, it wasn’t bad agenting to where he has come, no matter how she is as a person.

• He’d be better off with CAA, although Endeavor is pretty good at TV packaging. As for Gaby, what goes around comes around.

• Hey Gaby if you are reading this, do yourself a favor and click over to the outpouring of comments praising recently fired CAA agents and pretend you are one of them. You will probably feel better.

• GM, I’m going to bring in Malcom Gladwell to save the talent department. Together, we’ll sign a Mongolian champion curler who is going to revolutionize the sports industry. Besides, U2, is going to have a big year for WMA, even though we don’t commission them. Signing Condoleeza Rice was a big coup for us. Not to mention signing all the English women John Ferriter dates. Who says that I don’t sign talent? I’m a pretty intelligent idividual, GM. I’ve been studying the talent deparmtent for months. We’re on the cusp of something really big. Let’s run this department into the ground together. Your very own freak show, DZW

• Rainn wants a film career that not even G-d can grant him. The other agencies will promise him the world but he’ll only end up in another TV series. I doubt anyone’s gonna do any better for him.

• Dave is a complete moron who has the social skills of a gnat and surrounds himself by those that are even more innept than he – Smoller, Button, etc. Jim lacks any vision, knowledge or strategy. Irv has repeatedly stabbed people in the back. It is a privately held company that is accountable to noone. The inner board controls everything – and only those who are friends of Jim – are members. Its a joke. They are a joke.

• If William Morris and Endeavor merge, would they call the new agency “Whatever?”
