Back in the day when Lil Mama’s lip gloss was poppin’, shows were released on this novel device called television. Writers were paid when their shows aired and then, when they re-aired—formarathons, afternoon filler, or what have you—they’d get residual checks. Residuals are a substantial part of writers’ compensation.
“The companies’ behavior has created a gig economy inside a union workforce, and their immovable stance in this negotiation has betrayed a commitment to further devaluing the profession of writing,” the WGAin a statement Tuesday morning. The AMPTP will likely drag its feet, calling writers unreasonable for striking, but at the end of the day, the truth is obvious: They just don’t want to share any slices of that $30 billion pie.
When writers last went on strike in 2007, they were on the picket line for 100 days. During that time, late night shows and other series that wrote and filmed daily were affected immediately. In 2023, without a staff to write jokes, Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers and Stephen Colbert aren’t planning to air any news shows until an agreement is reached.Every television line you quote aloud, buy in a funky font on a T-shirt, or turn into a meme in the group chat was written by someone.
