Daniels grabbed headlines last year when he decried Republican Gov. Rick Snyder's cuts to Michigan's film industry tax incentive program.
"The War Room" airs at 9 p.m. on Current TV with a re-air at midnight.
Daniels recently answered questions from AnnArbor.com about his new HBO series in which he plays a moderate Republican cable newsman named Will McAvoy.

Maybe Jeff can ask Jenny a couple of questions? 1. What have you done for Michigan lately? (besides leave). 2. How's that job search in the Obama administration going?

I'm not clear as to what "Get off the Gov't teet Daniels", has to do with this article as the series certainly isn't done in MI. As to his continuing to work at his craft, what's wrong with that? He should just stay home? Money isn't what drives some people, although it's sure to lessen the pain.

"Daniels grabbed headlines last year when he decried Republican Gov. Rick Snyder's cuts to Michigan's film industry tax incentive program." I guess Daniels just doesn't have enough money. Get off the Gov't teet Daniels, you're rich enough to support yourself now!
