George Clooney Has Experience With Being Fired

Pin It


No! Who would fire GEORGE CLOONEY? Yet he says it happened to him in TV all the time.

I’ve been fired off a lot of TV shows over the years,” the Oscar winner, 48, says. “I like when they pick up a show, and they go ‘hey, the show’s picked up’ and then they replace you. I did this show called Baby Talk, which was the sitcom of Look Who’s Talking, and Ed Weinberger, who was the producer – he and I didn’t get along.”

Who remembers that show, anyway? I remember ‘ER,’ the show that made George a star! Such is the life of an actor :) Maybe it felt like sweet revenge to George in his new film, ‘Up in the Air,’ where his character is a “corporate downsizing expert” (meaning he goes to companies and fires people).

Have you ever been fired or (gulp) had the job of firing people?

    I remember George from Facts of Life and Roseanne. He seems to have recovered quite nicely from being fired.

    I remember Baby Talk! LOL – it was terrrrible!

    Oh yeah, I have been on both sides, but I have been the person doing the firing a lot. I used to be an HR Mgr for an international furniture company – the turnover was terrible. I know we laid off AND fired hundreds, maybe even a thousand people while I was there. It was really depressing. Hated it. Never want to do it again.
