We spoke to joshgondelman and Paula Pell at WGAEast’s 30 Rock rally yesterday about why they’re fighting for fair compensation for writers
“We’ve got to figure out streaming residuals. What I think is getting lost is we’re not asking for more money; we’re asking for money we are owed. We are owed money via residuals. The companies have designed a way via streaming not to pay us. ... We’re asking for a deal from the studios that will allow us to share the successes of the art we create that makes writing a sustainable career.
Philipps closed out her speech with a slew of jokes on David Zaslav, the CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, one of the studio heads responsible for holding up a fair contract. She thanked the WGA writers who came up with these zingers, including writers fromco-star Pell, Ike Barinholtz, and Simran Baidwan. It would be criminal not to publish some of these:
“In the words of David Zaslav, as an actor, I’m so glad to be here with all you difficult people I have to get along with.”
