Both presenters will take money out of their own pockets to pay their staff in the third week of the strike.
For a few days now, the world of entertainment in the United States has been in a very tense situation, because after 15 years, a new Hollywood writers’ strike started.
However, although things are complicated, it is clear to us that there are those who support their team, such as Jimmy Fallon and Seth Rogen, who will pay the wages of their workers during the strike.
Although it’s only been a few days since the Hollywood writers’ strike, the first affected productions have already come out.
Among them are late-night shows, like those of Seth Meyers and Jimmy Fallon, who have expressed their support for the writers of their shows.
So much so that both offered to personally pay their workers’ salaries for a while. both anchors will take money out of their own pockets to pay their staff in the third week of the writers’ strike, while NBC will pay workers’ wages for the first two weeks.
Jimmy Fallon got together with the network’s heavyweight executives and managed to convince them to not only pay his team for an extra week of strike action, but also get an extension on health insurance until September.
The same was true for Seth Meyers, who said he will try to take care of his staff and equipment after NBC stops paying them.
The Hollywood writers’ strike is just beginning and it is not known how long it will end (that depends on the people negotiating), although it looks set to last.
