Reporters Who Cover Television shocked to discover nepotism on HBO’s ‘Girls’

By Lisa de Moraes

Turns out, nepotism in the TV industry doesn’t just extend to the hiring of children of former presidents to play journalists!

(via http://smktty.tumblr.com/post/21237204782 )

Reporters Who Cover Television were shocked — shocked! — to discover this week that the spawn of successful TV celebs are getting on-camera jobs!

Almost exactly like how offspring of movie industry bigwigs get on-camera big-screen gigs (hello Michael Douglas, Jennifer Grey, Drew Barrymore, Angelina Jolie, Kate Hudson, Bryce Dallas Howard, Jaden Smith, Colin Hanks, and others too numerous to mention)!

The TV industry has so grown up!
