So you wanna be a hotshot agent like Ari on that horrible Entourage show? Well, you’ll probably have to start out as an assistant, which means you’d better have a trust fund or an insatiable fondness for ramen noodles. According to a tipster, a meeting was called on Monday at the New York offices of William Morris Endeavor where Cara Stein , COO of WME-NY, informed agency assistants, most of whom came from William Morris in the merger with Endeavor, that their salaries are being slashed drastically, some down to $10 an hour.
