Coming up on forum, shows have gone dark and production has

stopped as thousands of Hollywood writers hit the picket lines for a third day after negotiations

with studios collapsed Monday. The Writers Union, Writers Guild of America, is demanding

better pay, staffing guarantees, and restrictions on the use of AI. Members say they're making less money, even as studio production budgets balloon.

This hour, we'll look at what the life of a film or TV writer is like in the era of streaming services and AI.

reruns instead.

Seth Myers prepared audiences last week for the possibility of the show Going Dark and

express support for writers before talks broke down Monday between the Writers' Union and

the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television

producers. Joining me first is Sal Gentile, one of the headwriters for late night with Seth Myers

and board member of the Writers Guild of America East. Sal, thanks so much for being with us.
