CBS President Addresses Charlie Sheen Situation
CBS president Nina Tassler addressed Charlie Sheen's ongoing troubles in a session with the press at the Television Critics Association on Friday.At first Tassler responded with a humor when asked about Sheen. It was the first question of her session at TCA, and she joked that she "didn't expect" a question about the 'Two and a Half Men' star.
In a more serious mode, Tassler said there was a "high level of concern" about Sheen's troubles, but she also said that, when it comes to work, he "does his job extremely well."
She said that CBS has a "good relationship" with Warner Bros. Television, which produces 'Men,' and she said that WB Television is "managing the situation." When asked if Sheen had been made aware of the network's concerns, she responded, "He certainly knows how we feel."
Tassler repeated that, on a personal level, she was "concerned" about the situation. But on a professional level, no changes are in the offing. Production continues on 'Men' -- the show was set to tape a new episode Friday night, Tassler noted.
