Yes.
All actors are in danger, because actors are an expense. And as franchises get stronger, they are an expense that is no longer vital.
You don't have to pay an engineer tens of millions to appear on screen. You can pay them peanuts to generate a replacement.

Really proves how shallow minded American Network TV viewers are.

Eventually, yes, but not quite yet.

It's not illegal (In the US. The UK and much of Europe is more sensible). Just about the only sound that can't be used is the US is the EBS Tone. Sirens, screeching tires, gunshots... anything you hear on broadcast TV, can also legally be used on the radio.
Per the FCC: "licensees should be aware of possible adverse consequences of the use of sirens and other alarming sound effects."
Which pretty much means "We DGAF. It's up to a judge to decide if you're liable if there's a problem."

Jokes should have some level of humor? What are you, some kind of genius? Have you told the writers of Rick and Morty how to fix their show with your amazing advice that jokes should have humor in them?

Dude it's just different preferences chill out. Also, it doesn't help your case, because I didn't realise you intended that as a joke. Ideally, jokes should have some level of humour.
I've never claimed superiority to people who love rick and Morty. You're having ago at an enemy that doesn't exist lmao, it just don't love the show.
It's okay for people to have different tastes. It's not a personal attack.

I'm from the UK so I didn't see/hear him in anything else apart from The Simpsons, but his voice is so engrained in my memory. It makes me want to believe everything he says.. - which is probably why he was cast as a lawyer and an actor/salesman

Oh wow you copied my joke. Only someone who realizes how badly Rick and Morty is written could regurgitate a joke as well as you did.

Even if it was, that means that large companies could use it and pay the "tax" on using it. There is definitely a balance where the fine won't outweigh the sales boom from the attention it is causing. Imo this was absolutely a calculated maneuver.

Heck, I died a little with the loss of Phil and I was only a NewsRadio fan. He was.... exceptional.

What a childish response. I feel Rick and Morty dropped in quality and I wanted to find out if this show is better.
I get it you love rick and Morty and are so cool and don't like it when people have different opinions to you.

Thanks for posting this! They actually just did a segment on this on The NYTimes “The Daily” podcast and the woman being interview sounded like she was reading from a script. There was something strange and off putting about it…now this.

He was really great in that role, but it definitely seems like he deserved to be let go. Wish he could've stuck around, both on Angel and in life.

Except they don’t get to keep using it. Each use is a new fine.

Article says 18 stations broadcast it, fine should be 18 fines of $500,000, aka $9 Million.

Haven't you answered your own question with the James Earl Jones example?

I'd love to see The Simpsons do that with Phil Hartman.
Imho, that show died a little with the loss of Phil.

Reply to Should I watch Mr. Robot? I keep hearing it’s one of the best shows ever. by 1000Fatkidz
You should definitely watch at least the first season. In a way it’s a complete story that really pays off and isn’t that much of a time commitment and you can decide from there if you want more.
