Empty gesture he did once before.
"So it came as quite a shock Friday when the entire staff was told that they were not only out of a job but also that they weren’t guaranteed of being rehired once 'The Tonight Show' returns".
Jay Leno crossed the picket line during the 2007 writers' strike by going back on air and writing his own monologue. He also told his production staffers not to look for new jobs and then 80 of them got fired.
