Summary
It’s "strike two" for Hollywood! For the first time in over 60 years, actors and writers are both hitting the picket lines at the same time. SAG-AFTRA president Fran Drescher - aka "The Nanny" - gave a passionate speech yesterday announcing that members of the actors union are going on strike after failing to reach an agreement with the Alliance of Motion Pictures and Television Producers - aka the studios. Looks like a total Hollywood shutdown for now, with no happy ending in sight!

| 0:30.2 | two months already. So, with no writers and no actors, we have no idea what this means for |
| 0:34.8 | the future of Hollywood, but it definitely can't be good. And like with any Hollywood epic, |
| 0:40.0 | we're just hoping for a happy ending, you know? I know. We love our happy endings. |
