People magazine cited a “source close to the situation” who disputes Catt Sadler when she says female hosts are paid substantially less for the same work. “As an E! spokesperson went on the record saying, Catt and Jason’s roles were not comparable,” said the source. “In addition to co-hosting E! News five nights a week, Jason co-hosts Live From the Red Carpet, one of the network’s most lucrative programs, and hosts E! News Weekend every Saturday and Sunday, while Catt was one of three hosts of Daily Pop and co-hosted E! News twice a week.” A rep for Sadler responded to People’s source, saying in a statement that “their roles at the network were virtually identical. The only thing about them that was not comparable was their gender — and the fact that she filmed a minimum of seven shows a week to his five.”
