If studios and the writers guild reach a deal this week, it was possible the weekly shows could air new programming without a hiatus. It was unknown, as of this writing, whether weekly shows like "Saturday Night Live", "Real Time with Bill Maher", and "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver" would also halt live production. Considering this evidence, we rated this claim "True." News outlets such as Deadline and The Associated Press confirmed the nightly shows would stop operations and air reruns throughout the week. This was the first such strike in 15 years. on May 2 after the guild and Hollywood studios failed to successfully negotiate a new three-year contract governing writers' working conditions and benefits.
All were expected to air reruns in lieu of new content.Īround 9,000 writers - 98% of the WGA's voting body - stopped doing their jobs at 12:01 a.m.
As of this writing, it was unknown how long the strike would last, as well as for how many nights the shows would pause live production.
