I think there’s a good chance he won’t.
Now’s the time the #metoo accusations will be (re)surfaced.

I have no idea who this guy is or where he stands politically. The reactions to this incident seem to be divided along the usual political lines, which is a little strange. I for one think there's no reason to fire or ban him. He made a stupid mistake, but he didn't do anything illegal. He was already punished enough by the ridicule.

People have been fired for less. Much less.

Klaus you’re correct on all fronts. I don’t think he should lose his roles, I just think he probably will.

I can't imagine anything they could do to him that's worse than it already is. But his career willl likely be rearranged.

The New Yorker isn't the only game in town, he could still do expository writing elsewhere.

I think we’ve beaten this story to death.

Yes, at this point it's rather limp...

CNN's chief legal analyst returned to national television on Thursday, eight months after masturbating on a New Yorker Zoom conference call that included several female colleagues who had to witness it.
Unlike the New Yorker, which promptly fired Jeffrey Toobin after the incident, CNN curiously held out in doing the same. And for about the past 250 days, the network continued to pay Toobin his lucrative salary before putting him back on air. Suspension without pay would be one thing, but CNN’s brass made sure they had Toobin's back. For his part, Toobin called the New Yorker firing "excessive." Talk about hubris.
"Many of us have really missed having your legal analysis to guide us on our programs, so let me be the first to welcome you back," CNN anchor Alisyn Camerota – who was tasked with conducting this cringeworthy interview – told Toobin during his first return to the air.
"I hope to be a better person off-camera as well as on-camera," Toobin replied.
Earlier in the interview, Toobin played the victim, insisting he didn't know other people could see him on the infamous Zoom call. "I wouldn’t exactly say 'in my defense,' because nothing is really in my defense, I didn’t think I was on the call. I didn’t think other people could see me,” he said.
“You thought that you had turned off your camera?” Camerota asked.
“Correct," Toobin responded. "I thought that I had turned off the Zoom call. Now that is not a defense. This was deeply moronic and indefensible. But that is part of the story.”

I’m assuming it was truly accidental with Toobin. The punishment is the embarrassment itself.
I don’t think the New Yorker should have fired him. It’s kinda like walking out of the washroom with your fly open and your junk flops out.
Also - isn’t the New Yorker supposed to be super sex positive?
