and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon will all come to a halt.<\/p>\n<p>Colbert, who taped his show before negotiations halted, shared an image of his writers while expressing support for them in his opening monologue on Monday evening.<\/p>\n<p>Arriving at the\u00a0Met Gala, Fallon said he hoped the strike would not go ahead, but at the same time wanted to see \u201ca fair deal\u201d agreed for writers. \u201cI need my writers real bad, I got no show without my writers\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Late Night host Seth Meyers expressed his support for the strike on the corrections segment of his show on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI also feel very strongly that what the writers are asking for is not unreasonable,\u201d Meyers said. \u201cAs a proud member of the Guild, I\u2019m very grateful that there is an organisation that looks out for the best interests of writers.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Sticking-points\">\u2018Sticking points\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>The WGA has criticised studios for creating a \u201cgig economy\u201d that aims to turn writing into an \u201centirely freelance\u201d profession. \u201cFor the sake of our present and our future, we have been given no other choice,\u2019 the guild stated in\u00a0a lengthy document.<\/p>\n<p>It called for a TV staffing minimum, ranging from six to 12 writers per show, as well as a guaranteed minimum number of weeks of employment per season.<\/p>\n<p>In their own statement on Tuesday, the AMPTP called those the two \u201cprimary sticking points\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>For their part, the collective studios previously said they must cut costs due to financial pressures, while noting how the overall \u201cresiduals\u201d payments to writers hit an all-time high of $494m (\u00a3395m) in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>The AMPTP also rejected a guild demand that the use of AI bots be banned from writing or rewriting material, instead offering to hold \u201cannual meetings to discuss advancements in technology\u201d.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img class=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/_106396078_298260dd-8c4c-43d7-af3c-8533936fd910.jpg\" alt=\"line\" title=\"Hollywood screenwriters go on strike, late night comedy shows to go dark as walkout begins\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"What-happened-during-the-last-writers-strike\">What happened during the last writers\u2019 strike?<\/h2>\n<p>Many readers will remember how TV and film productions felt and looked a little different during the Covid lockdown-era, due to strict safety protocols, but some may not recall the similar effects of\u00a0the last big writers\u2019 strike\u00a0in the winter of 2007.<\/p>\n<p>The strike saw writers asking studios for new contracts that gave them more money when their work got sold on DVD, downloaded or streamed online.<\/p>\n<p>For viewers it meant that big named late-night talk shows, which rely heavily on writers for their scripts and jokes, dropped off-air. One such name, host Conon O\u2019Brien showed his support for the striking writers while on-air by simply spinning his wedding ring around on his desk for as long as possible. No really.<\/p>\n<p>Production also stopped on major soaps, sitcoms and prime-time dramas, including Ugly Betty, Desperate Housewives and The Office. The strike cost Breaking Bad fans two episodes of its first season, however (spoiler alert!) it did reportedly also spare the life of one of its main protagonists Jessie, who had been at risk of being written out of the show.<\/p>\n<p>Other productions plodded on without their writers, often with less than desirable effects. Season two of Heroes, shot during the strike using first drafts of their work, was regarded by many as a shadow of its former self and the show arguably never really recovered.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img class=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/_129572084_bond.jpg\" alt=\"James Bond star Daniel Craig\" title=\"Hollywood screenwriters go on strike, late night comedy shows to go dark as walkout begins\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">James Bond star Daniel Craig had to help rewrite scenes during the making of Quantum of Solace (Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The best example of this though was perhaps the James Bond movie, Quantum of Solace, as star Daniel Craig recalled in an interview. \u201cWe had the bare bones of a script and then there was a writers\u2019 strike and there was nothing we could do,\u201d he said. \u201cWe couldn\u2019t employ a writer to finish it. I say to myself, \u2018never again\u2019, but who knows? There was me trying to rewrite scenes \u2013 and a writer I am not\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>As well as busting Bond\u2019s balls, the writers\u2019 strike inadvertently helped to make a pre-presidential Donald Trump a bigger star. Trump\u2019s version of the Apprentice had been on the verge of being canned but the strikes gave it a new lease of life. With fewer scripts around, reality TV had its time in the sun. Shows like Project Runway and the Biggest Loser got bigger slots and audiences; and everybody began Keeping Up with the Kardashians on E!.<\/p>\n<p>More than 31 million watched the 2008 final of American Idol, which helped Fox become the US\u2019s most-watched channel for the first-time.<\/p>\n<p>After a compromise was reached \u2013 which saw writers promised a percentage of future profits generated \u2013 it took months for TV to get back to normal.<\/p>\n<p>The latest strike, at least, arrives in time for summer.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img class=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/_106396078_298260dd-8c4c-43d7-af3c-8533936fd910.jpg\" alt=\"line\" title=\"Hollywood screenwriters go on strike, late night comedy shows to go dark as walkout begins\"\/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img class=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/_129559500_thebear.jpg\" alt=\"Stars of the TV series The Bear, including Jeremy Allen White (front row, second left)\" title=\"Hollywood screenwriters go on strike, late night comedy shows to go dark as walkout begins\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">[Getty Images] Stars of the TV series The Bear, including Jeremy Allen White (front row, second left)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Alex O\u2019Keefe, writer on the comedy-drama series The Bear and a member of the WGA, told the BBC on Monday that half of all writers were paid the minimum by studios and that there was \u201ca huge underclass in Hollywood right now\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He said the creative output of his writing colleagues was better than ever, matching the demands of the streaming age, but writers are paid less than ever.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd writers like me, especially young, black writers, indigenous writers, writers of colour have brought a whole new wave of creativity to the process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut we are finding ourselves unable to survive in places like New York City and Los Angeles, where we need to be to be in writers\u2019 rooms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>O\u2019Keefe went on to stress that while there are some writers who are \u201cdoing very well\u201d, many writers, including some showrunners on big shows, were not.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wouldn\u2019t classify all writers as being poor or broke, but I can say myself I have $6 in my bank account,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He said that when he and his colleagues won best comedy series at the Writers Guild of America Awards, he went to the ceremony in a suit bought for him by his friends and family.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe bowtie was bought on credit, I didn\u2019t have any money, I had a negative bank account,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>The actors\u2019 union SAG-AFTRA and the directors\u2019 union DGA have voiced solidarity with striking writers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCLAIMER: <\/strong>The Views, Comments, Opinions, Contributions and Statements made by Readers and Contributors on this platform do not necessarily represent the views or policy of Multimedia Group Limited.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thousands of Hollywood TV and movie screenwriters have downed tools after last-minute talks with major studios over wages broke down.
