Queen Latifah Will Pay Laid-Off Talk Show Staff With Her Own Money
Queen Latifah will pay her laid-off staff through the holidays with her own money.
A month ago The Queen Latifah Show was cancelled after two seasons. And in the spirit of the holidays those working for Queen Latifah won't go home empty-handed.
According to eonline, The Queen says her entire laid-off talk show staff will be taken care of through the holidays eventhough the show is no longer on-air. Original episodes of the show are slated to run through March, however the production crew is no longer necessary.
"Your dedication and sacrifice was crucial to the entire team, and in the face of intense challenges, you displayed 'True Grit'!" Latifah relayed in a Facebook post. "Thank you for your strong work ethic and great effort in getting The Queen Latifah Show off the ground and running.
"Your Family, Partners, Staff and Crew showed up with you every step of the way. Be very proud of that! Not everyone can say the same. You can also say you have been a blessing to and been blessed by amazing guests and incredible audiences for this show. We truly changed people's lives for the better. So…stay positive, stay strong, and most important, stay open...There is so much more God has in store!"
She would end the message with a few words of encouragement to those looking for new work. "This letter is for me, my staff, my crew, and everyone who was by my side for this incredible journey. The most important thing in life is that you wake up every single day and take chances. No matter what the outcome…believe in yourself and continue to fly."
The Queen Latifah Show was produced by Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith. The program originally started in 1999 but ended in 2001. It would later come back in 2013 and end once again after two years.
