Revisiting the firing of Jason Biggs

Was just thinking about this fiasco again and came across this video I never saw: https://www.foxbusiness.com/video/1822832571001

Pretty funny. Also interesting to think about how this happened before or right at the beginning of modern “cancel culture”, and the irony of him being punished for running his mouth about his liberal views, rather than the more common opposite.

Looking back, the 2012 election felt like such forgone conclusion that it’s weird that he was even ranting about it at all. I know he was abusing substances at the time and has been sober for many years and regrets the whole thing. And unfortunately the whole thing could have been avoided if not for whoever was managing the official TMNT twitter account at the time.

I think it turned out well, with them being able to tie the Seth Green recast into the plot. Biggest loss was Biggs missing the last handful of season 2 episodes. Catrambone always sounded so awkward to me, wish they could have let him slide for just a few more episodes (or crammed all his dialogue into one session once they knew what was coming, but I’m sure there’s union rules against that).
