It’s entirely possible that today when Megan Morrone was summoned to Leo Laporte’s office clutching a notepad (as seen on the DropCam) that she was told to either shape up her TN2 hosting personality or be prepared to become an “off-site producer.”
This would be unwelcome news for the sharp-eyebrowed news reader. After all, it was only a few months ago that she was brought on board to replace Sarah Lane.
Fans have not been taking to her odd delivery and stilted uncomfortably-fake anchor voice. In fact, she’s kind of like a female version of Padre with the weirdo tone and robotic up-and-down flow. Whatever the case, being called in to the boss’s office with pen and paper is hardly ever a good thing.
In just another example of Leo’s extreme sexism, TotalDrama fans have been speculating that if Megan is indeed close to being shown the door, then how is it possible that Mike Elgan has held on this long?
it is also possible they were discussing topics, House of Cards or looking at photos of HelloWorld and laughing at his dumb haircut.
this is a non story. it is dumb even for this place

Thanks for covering up her eyebrows.

Hey! That’s the chair I was sitting in when he fired me! Good times.
Jeff» Quote comment
why did he fire you?

Because I talked back to Lisa in a meeting once. And probably to get rid of my salary which was 2.5 times higher than Bryan and Alex’s.

I’m willing to bet that Mike is leaving soon and this was a talk about the near future. TWiT has had worse hosts than Megan before and their standards are not rising.

Lisa would do it only because she has more balls than Leo. Fire Elgum I can stand Megan a little.

No secret….I’ll take Megan any day over the pompous Elglum.

Maybe with Gigaom now gone there is an opening for Kevin Tofel and Mathew Ingram to move to Petaluma??

what did Megan ever do to anyone except take a job to support her family? she doesn’t deserve the shit you give her and you are a real asshole for doing so and damaging her ability to find other work.

Mark,
TD is not exactly the first place an employer is going to check a person references. The only way Anyone from twit is going to get their little feelings hurt is to open this website. So all they have to do is stay the fuck away. Then everyone is happy happy happy.
Douchebag

The world is your oyster if anything said at TD would possibly affect anyone’s job prospects.

If you look back to how she was on TechTV and then compare to now, is it possible that Mike Elgan has been influencing how she presents herself. Maybe she is trying desperately to get fired so she can go back to what she was doing and only took the position because she felt obligated to Sarah Lane to agree so that Sarah could escape and her plan has always been to work on her own exit strategy.
You never know, before she started working at TWiT again she could have had a Baldrick moment and said out loud “I have a cunning Plan”!
I am sure that she is still living off the royalties from the Troll dolls using her likeness. She used to look so pretty back in the TechTV days and sounded so happy, guess that’s what happens when you work at TWiT though, it grinds you down instantly.

Why would TWiT want to fire people all the time. It would be costly. Megan does a better job than Mike. However, TWiT needs to work with the current staff. TWiT has a challenge to find talent and host. It is probably difficult to keep people on the schedule!!!

Yet they fired Dane, Erik, Ken, me, Tom, Radford, Chad. The hosts they dropped. Kiki, Brushwood, JRY…I can’t keep track. And made others want to leave, Eileen, Lynn, Shannon, Nicole, Iyaz. The turnover rate from this place is insane.

Yes. It’s all quite sad.

or maybe just maybe soup was asking her if she’d be on board with taking over TNT, so he and the sucubus could fire gum
but that’s just me being hopeful that Gum would no longer be at twit, and he can take EffenDumb with him

Who is doing all this firing. Leo or Lisa. Does this look terrible for business? Also with the heavy spending, this company may not exist. As I can recall, Tom’s wife relocated first to LA due to her work. Then he relocated. For awhile, he did TNT off site. However Leo wanted someone on site for TNT. Maybe we don’t know the entire story. Wouldn’t you think that some of these people resigned? Tom Merritt is extremely talented as well as his wife. Chad Johnson will do well too. He has many interest and talents. Haven’t seen Jeff Needles lately. Hope he is doing well. It’s not good to fire people left & right. Word spreads. If a person who is hired & finds out that this is occurring will need to look for a better job elsewhere.

Rumor was when Jeff Needles arrived as an intern, he told Lisa the entire staff should be fired.

I must be crazy as hell to be concerned about TWiT. I would shit so many bricks in the Brick House that it would be a sewer. This is rediculous wishing that Elgan is let go and another person fired etc. Wouldn’t a company want to improve morale? I am a listener primarily & occasionally viewer. Yes I saw Megan’s thick eye browsers . So what. I probably have thick browsers too & another person. I wouldn’t give it a thought. I get the feed here. Then I go look. Yep, she has thick eye browsers. I still can hear what she is saying. They are not impacting her broadcast. Why should she or Mike be let go? Sure we all can improve. Yes, I would rather have Tom Merritt. Feel certain he is holding his own!!!
