Context - 15 weeks of a Writers' strike has ended, a good and fair agreement (AI, etc.) and everybody is happy to be back writing and performing topical #comedy / #truth on late-night television shows, #StephenColbert here is one of our finest talents. And he is 'woke'!

So.... has anything happened in the U.S. and worlld since the spring? (autumn if you're in Oz)....

Must/see - Priceless!
The return of Late Show with Stephen Colbert, after 5 months dark (due to writers' strike). Anything happen in the past 5 months in America and the world? In 2 parts. Beginning with this precious cold-open return home.**

"What did I miss? Did anyone get indicted?"

Grrrreat News! After 5 months in suspended animation, he's ba-ack! They're back.

Colbert, Seth Meyers, & Kimmel are back on-air, kicking off a new, MUCH-needed, fall season of "context & perspective" with both some smiles & laughs, and affirmation that as crazy and absurd as it all seems to us watching, it is!

🙏

So so thankful. It is impossible to overstate what an important service these satirists/comedians/truthiness presenters provide!

GOOD NEWS!

The Screen Writers’ ( #WGA ) strike is over!! Just in time to impose some sanity and comic relief on all the Congressional and Court fun ahead, with a return of late-night comedy/talk!

We sure do need the ‘context & perspective’ of Colbert, Seth, Kimmel, SNL, et al… Dense-packed Truth! With a smile & laugh or two.
And much gratitude for the writers and the performers/presenters of their material. I can't wait!

Meanwhile, for those observing Yom Kippur, "Easy fast" and a prayer for some of our "representatives" to atone, &/or go to prison!

The Historic Writers Strike Will Soon Be Over

It has been nearly five months since thousands of film and TV writers went on strike over more equitable pay and working conditions in the streaming era.

Actors take to the internet to show their residual checks, with some in the negative

The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers rejected the SAG-AFTRA union's request for a separate type of residual payment that actors would get once their programs hit streaming services.
