If you’ve got any meetings over at CAA today, you might want to reschedule. The offices over at 2000 Avenue of the Stars are closed due to “an electrical problem in the building,” Deadline has learned. The company is encouraging agents to work from home and get back to people via email or cell.
Deadline's Dominic Patten - tip him here.

Can’t pay their light bill?
Time to charge even more for parking.
Between Sundance, Jewish holidays, the Oscars, retreats, Easter, Tribeca, Cannes, summer vacation, Toronto, more Jewish holidays, and all festivities starting after Thanksgiving, there were I believe 11 days a year you could actually get any business done with your agent over there. This was one of them, so now it’s down to 10.
See? Even the Death Star isn’t impervious to an occasional black out.
IT’S A TRAP!!
Death Star!
We have been sabotaged by cyber-terrorists most likely disgruntled former clients and former employees who hate us. We have notified the Department of Homeland Security. They are going to investigate and prosecute the evildoers who done did this to us. We are not amused and we will have our revenge.
Three men in “tailored designer suits” were seen snickering with bolt cutters as they fled the scene early this morning. Their new model hybrid vehicle was lost in pursuit somewhere near Rodeo Drive.
“I’m afraid the Death Star will be quite operational when your friends arrive.”
Hahah oh god. nice one.
Best. Day. Ever.
I hate you.
Did you really need to do an underscore between CAA and Asst? You’re going to be an assistant for the rest of your life.
In all your years as a joke writer for Leno I guess you’ve never encountered an assistant’s email with an underscore in it.
It’s either that or you completely missed, and subsequently condemned, an innocuous attempt at humor.
Tom,
Do you know what you’ll always be?
that one power button… hit that and knock out the whole death star.
Max wasn’t THAT powerful.
Power Outage = Out of Power = Agents Fired. Yea… I can read between the lines.
Let there be light. First words ever spoken in history.
Ovitz is back?
Hey, you don’t pay the bill-they turn off the power. Just don’t forget to lock the door on the way out.
A pair of proton torpedoes fired directly into the thermal exhaust port. Some tired assistant used the force to great effect…
You can tell this article is bs, “the company is encouraging agents to…get back to people…” yeah right
WME sneak attack!
Ummm thats a new building Very odd
Very odd. I’ve never seen this in a building of this size. The generators usually g4′s are impossible to shut off completely. Sounds fishy to me.
They will if the flux capacitor tops out over 1.21 jigawatts.
“The company is encouraging agents to get back to people…”
Wow, one little power outage and their whole representation philosophy changes.
is there an echo in here? nice poor remake of my original post above
Sorry, everyone. I was starting my apprenticeship in ditch digging and wouldn’t you know it…on my very first ditch, I hit an underground power line with my shovel. Maybe I need to consider another career. I wonder if CAA is hiring for an assistant position. I have 2 Master’s degrees and don’t mind making minimum wage for 10 years as long as my daddy still covers my car lease payments on my Mercedes SL 63 AMG Roadster.
