It’s all because there are no writers, and no celebrities involved in Karamo‘s show at all.
“A lot of people have asked me, ‘why is your talk show [still filming]?’ It’s because we don’t work with celebrities, and I don’t have any writers on my show,” he told TheWrap. “Shows like mine are not part of that union because, again, no celebrities, no writers and it’s just me — [and] whatever comes up off the top of my head — and so we’re able to continue on.”
For his show, Karamo brings on regular people as his guests, and the upcoming season is set to debut next week.
“[I'm] still over here striking [and] supporting,” he added. “It just blows my mind that in 2023 and beyond we’re still talking about conversations of equity and equality, where we see somebody getting paid enormously and somebody else can’t even afford certain things.”
He also spoke of how grateful he is to be able to still film his show, as many others are not.
“I’m glad that I’m able to have this position where — because there’s no writers, and I’m the person who comes up with it, and we help real people — that I’m able to work, but I’m also right there in solidarity with everyone else.”
Over the past week, there have been a few other shows and hosts who are aiming to still film their own talk shows, angering both unions and fans all at the same time.
