David Kronke was appointed Mayor of Television after a bloodless coup in 2000. Since then, he has improved infrastructure, championed greater educational opportunities and fought for reforms that have utterly erased corruption and incompetence from the television industry. Since Mr. Kronke has ascended to power, Television is a far better place. SAG's president better watch his back
R.J. Johnson, a reader (and SAG member) sent me this missive regarding an incident at the recent SAG awards:
“Note to: SAG President Alan Rosenberg
“According to published reports from her publicist, you raised your voice to Sally Field during a discussion about the writers strike. Alan, you don’t yell at Sally Field. You don’t try to bully Sally Field. It’s just plain wrong. Pick on someone your own size. Let’s have a chat!”
According to Field’s publicist, “She thought talks should have begun sooner and was trying to relay information from other actors that contract negotiations should begin sooner rather than later, and he became incensed. She had to raise her voice to be heard over his. She has every right to express her opinion to him."
I asked R.J. if he minded if I posted his outrage at Rosenberg. He replied, go ahead, adding:
“Sally Field is 5' 2" and 61 years old. Some second banana on a sitcom like Rosenberg is going to bully her. No!”
Actually, I believe Ms. Field is more than capable of holding her own. As I can attest, as she put me in a headlock once when I asked her if she had any interest in doing a “Flying Nun” reunion show.

I'm with ya, Sally!
