2001 ‘Friends’ People’s Choice Award and 9 Other Comedy Treasures That You Can Buy at the WGA Garage Sale
Hollywood garage sales are a little different from those in normal places — instead of selling knickknacks, vintage jackets and chipped dinnerware, there’s signed knickknacks, a Simpsons writer’s vintage jacket and a single annotated page from the original script of Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure.
As the production companies of Hollywood hunker down and literally attempt to starve out the unions currently fighting for fair pay, the multiple show-business strikes have forced card-carrying creatives to tighten their belts and band together to make ends meet — apparently, by selling all of their sentimental and collectable stuff from their various projects. The “WGARAGE SALE” is in full swing as writers and others put services and souvenirs up for auction in order to raise money for the Entertainment Community Fund, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to providing housing, social services and emergency financial assistance for artists in need.
Here are a handful of my favorite lots in the auction, starting with Executive Producer Greg Malins’ 2001 People’s Choice Award for his involvement in Friends — the WGA will be there for you, starving artists.
