Maybe Jiri knows the answer to this - are other guests (not Sportsnet) paid for appearing? Or do they at least get a gift certificate at Schanks?

They are not paid in most instances, and they are not obligated to do the segments in most cases as well. Friedman had it specifically written into his contract that he was not required to do them if he so chose.

I don't blame him if he stops either. Just not worth the aggravation at times.

Also if this happens, look for others to follow. Including Duha, Kypreos and others.
