Barry Nolan

Nolan then served as co-host for the Paramount Television magazine series Hard Copy from 1991 to 1998, and then became a senior correspondent for Extra from 2000 until 2003.

[4] Nolan was fired by CN8 on 20 May 2008 for distributing fliers at an Emmy award show dinner on 10 May.

"[7] He said that Nolan had attended the Emmy Awards "in conjunction with Comcast", and declared it "a disturbing situation".

[8] In response to a question raised as part of that suit, Comcast wrote that "… Mr. Nolan’s protest at the NATAS Award Ceremony and of William O’Reilly as the recipient of the Governor’s Award jeopardized and harmed the business and economic interests of Comcast in connection with its contract with Fox News Channel, and its contract negotiations with Fox News that were ongoing at the time.

"[7] In an extensive review of Mr. Nolan's case for the Columbia Journalism Review in August, the writer Terry Ann Knopf asserted that Mr. Nolan's firing reflected the "corrosive influence of over-concentrated corporate power".
