BREAKING: Late-Night Talk Shows Shut Down As Writers Guild Strikes

Late-night comedy shows will be forced to halt studio production as early as Tuesday after Hollywood studios failed to reach a new contract with the Writers Guild of America.

So-called ‘comedians’ such as Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert, and Seth Meyers will be off the air until the writers they depend on to craft left-wing monologues return to work.

The last time Hollywood writers went on strike, the industry was left in a months-long standstill.

Breitbart reports:

The Writers Guild of America authorized the strike Monday night after negotiations with the studios and networks failed to produce an agreement. It will mark the first time Hollywood writers have walked off the job since the 2007-2008 strike, which lasted three months and brought the industry to a virtual standstill.

Hollywood writers, who could start picketing studios as early as Tuesday, are demanding more generous compensation as the streaming revolution continues to takeover the industry. The guild has argued that the shorter seasons favored by streaming services — with most shows having ten or fewer episodes per season — have been detrimental to writers, who must find work on multiple shows to make ends meet.
