Don’t weep for Katie Rich, the “Saturday Night Live” writer who was suspended after her awful “joke” about 10-year-old Barron Trump. She already has a new job offer from writer/producer Dan Harmon (“Monster House,” “Community”):
Aaaaaaaand hired. https://t.co/UrYxW0njEL

A first class ticket to the interview awaits!
I'm sure Katie Rich will have better offers but I'll start bidding, will fly her to LA first class and give her what my studio pays me

Harmon went on to say that he doesn’t care about her joke, because it was just that … a joke:
Yes I would. I would tolerate all jokes. I do tolerate all jokes. And so do you. Because we have not lost our motherfucking god damn minds. https://t.co/dltmQtpEAX

Sure, knock knock, who's there, a yummy child, I don't care. Now you want her fired AND you don't want her to work somewhere else? https://t.co/Tw8FfJgWij

Maybe we should kill her. You know, for the children. We're good people. Willing to stick our necks out so far. You know like in prison.

Rich has had a number of other celebrities come out in support of her after her suspension, such as Chelsea Handler:
It's interesting that a writer on SNL is held to a higher standard of language than the man we elected @POTUS @katiemaryrich #stupid

Monica Lewinsky:
online mobs are not the answer either. @katiemaryrich has apologized. comedy is an imperfect science. (trust me!) https://t.co/NraMK4mDKN

And Horatio Sanz:
Support Katie Rich.
