Eminem flying Toledo auto workers to Kimmel show
Written by Michael Miller | Editor in Chief | mmiller@toledofreepress.comJon Michael Zapf has told Toledo Free Press that musician Eminem is flying 200 laid-off auto workers to Los Angeles to be on the May 15 “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on ABC. The show airs at 12:05 a.m.
Zapf, who works for Toledo’s Ohio Modular Management building the Jeep Wrangler, said, “He is flying us out, all expenses paid, for the show to put a face on the American auto workers who are affected by this hardship. He is supposed to do a meet and greet and sign autographs.”
Zapf said the workers are from tier 2 and 3 auto plants around Michigan and Ohio and will be flown to Los Angeles for the taping. When laid off, tier 2 and 3 auto workers do not enjoy the benefits of sub-pay they would enjoy in a tier one company, he said.

Lately I’ve become his number one watcher and can not get too much information or articles about his appearances. Have to admit that the mention of Eminem got my eye as I have not been here previously. As his father abandoned the family unit when he was a child the media years has been chance for large earnings and media exposure which he has understood well, warding off the ruination with too much coverage and exposure experienced by different celebrities. Loved his previous releases Infinite, Marshall Mathers, Encore, although the contents sometimes are worrying. Bad overtones and not making for a happy planet.
