WGA Writers Strike
« on: January 06, 2008, 11:42:44 PM »
Somehow I only heard about the American screenwriters strike today, despite having started some time ago. Anyway can someone give me answers to the following questions.

1. What are the writers striking for? Is it just for more pay, or do they want other things like more prominence in credits?

2.writers write site>

Under the WGA rules, Leno and O'Brien aren't allowed to write items for the show that would normally have been written by their writing staffs. So what does that mean? Will Leno and O'Brien wing it? Ad lib a monologue?

How will anyone be able to know if the monologue is pre-written or ad-lib?
