The unions representing the writers said in a statement hours prior that they “voted unanimously to call a strike.” Over 11,000 walked out on Tuesday in an effort to fight against wage cuts and job threats due to new technology (like as ChatGPT, an artificial chat box).
Late night talks shows such as Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel and Seth Meyers have already taken a hit due to the loss of staff and started airing reruns. Saturday Night Live officially changed their show for this weekend as well.
