More WMA-Endeavor Meet & Greet

• What is the 411 with the young, talent hungry Agents at Endeavor? Mot Pic Lit? Talent? TV? Below – the – Line? Anyone know the status: the unwashed masses want to know who is staying, who is leaving…There are a number of well respected “up and coming” Agents at Endeavor…

• How long before we see a WMA agent sitting in those plum courtside LAKERS seats that Endeavor somehow justifies?

  Ro-Sham-Bo at noon between Ari and Jim?

• I can’t believe John Fogelman made the cut and Mark Itkin didn’t. Unbelievable.

• WTF – why is Irv at Endeavor? He’s useless and isn’t an agent. Further, his role has been diminished and he won’t be part of management. He should have been axed. Waste of $$. Waste of space (lots of it).

• And, of course, Dave “I left my personality in the womb” Wirtschafter is not part of the meet and greet…To busy trying to figure out who stole his cheese…

• “Jim… I’d love for you to meet our tv department… in the next couple of weeks they’re going to be assimilating your clients and giving out pink slips to your agents.”

• I can’t wait for the firings to start. WME is only going to want to keep those employees who are passionate, talented and have brains. The agency world could use a good cleaning.

• Wow, okay. I guess WME really does want to take over the world. Even sounds like WMD when you say it. “Weapons of Mass Entertainment.” They couldn’t have dropped their egos for one second, let go of those old tired names, and come up with something a little better? Uggh.

• By the way Endeavor guys I’m starting an industry movement against that stupid WME name and telling everyone we just call you WILLIAM MORRIS, which is what will happen anyway.

  Initials haven’t been used this poorly since the CW forgot TV networks need three letters.

• Firings have already started at Endeavor. One of my agents was fired out of a cannon yesterday. My lead agent is a partner and is staying. He confirmed that they are looking for about 140 agents total.

  He said that Strickler (who is the guy who signed me and who I have always admired) made a ‘beautiful speech’ yesterday.

• why is irv walking the hallways, maybe so all the good guys at endeavor see who the guy who changed the history of the agency business….he was replaced by peter grosslight on the board and it should be peter walking the halls not irv, just a lucky cpa who sold his soul to the devil and sold his old friends out…….i hope they see the real irv as he’s waddling down the hallways, but of course they will, they are all smart good guys, who won

• I recently learned internally that Graham Taylor and Cassian Elwes will run the Indie Division and that Rena Ronson will get cut, although behind closed doors, Rena has been trying hard to convince Cassian to jump ship and start a new company together. Cassian, however, apparently has a good relationship with Graham and would like to work with him and has said that now is not the time to raise money for a company…Rena is especially upset since apparently her contract hasnt been renewed and everyone internally is ok with this.

• Everybody’s smiling. Everybody’s BFF. Cut to 1 week later: Backroom meetings to squeeze out Agent A, B, C, and D. I cannot wait for the chaos!

  I mean…I hope everything works out.

• Rena Ronson is by far the most talented of the bunch at WMA Indy. It would be a sad day if she leaves. They should do everything they can to keep her… Cassian is a Jim Wiatt stooge and should be canned for giving his horrible wife the inside scoop on indy projects out there
