Did you know that WGA writers earn a minimum of $5,000 per week?

[AntSucks]

A first time screen writer gets $100,000 for the first draft, and the median is $250,000

A "written by" credit on one episode of a show ranges from $40,000-$100,000 per episode.

A staff writer on a late night show such as the Daily Show has to be paid $5,000 per week, as a minimum. They would only have to work for a couple of months before they are making more than most service industry workers make in a year.

This is all before benefits and residuals and doesn't include pay rises if you become a big name.

Wasn't the last witer's strike a complete flop too? Striking seemed more effective for the unions when content on TV was limited so they had some leverage over studios. Now with streaming services, consumers have endless crap to watch.

Plus these poor sods have to pay union and agent fees on top of this missing pay they will never recover. I'd feel sorry for them but I don't consider writing to be a real profession.

does anyone remember when James Corden monologued a word-for-word Ricky Gervais bit despite it not being in common american parlance?

drop that side-by-side clip anywhere they're discussing the writers' strike

Everyone who worked for Corden apparently hated him. It's highly likely that his writing team did that on purpose to publicly humiliate him.

I've heard that theory & Corden is definite assho, but it still meant they didn't need to 'write' anything that week... & is Corden's show usually funny &/or worthy of that writer cost?
Writers & journalists are mostly just reddit-surfers who then copy each other

Happy to say I've never seen a moment of his show or even that Gavin and Stacey wank. Fat prick

Fire all of them and have AI do everything.

So long as the movie has a faggot, black, or female lead it'll do fine.

Yeah with him it sounds like pretty much anyone who’s had to work with him hated him. I remember people in the UK being glad he left to the US, a lot of “you can have him” type reactions. I can’t believe he didn’t get more shit for claiming he was offered Brendan Fraser’s role in “The Whale”

The average earnings among the 6,000 WGA writers who shared that data in 2021 was $260,006.

People dont know how gifted actors are. Think about it like this. Jesse Ventura claims to have his retirement, medical, and whatever else covered. Why? Not because of his Navy work. Not because of his Governorship. Because he was a fucking actor in Predator.

That's his secondary income. His main source is the WWE. He's the only guy to sue the balls off of Vince McMahon and win. He gets a huge check every time his likeness is used, and I'm sure he got a massive stipend when the WWE sold as well.

This is true but according to Jesse this is why you rarely see him his likeness used, so who knows how much he’s even making from the WWE.

Oh also by “Having everything covered” i was referring to retirement and insurance rather than straight cash checks. I know 100% WWE isn’t contributing to those two things.

That was why they had other people record over a lot of the matches he did commentary for when they put out WWE dvd’s / blu rays. Vince didn’t wanna pay Jesse. I think it rumor was Hogan ratted to Vince that Jesse wanted a Union for wrestlers.

Also why they haven’t done a Jesse Ventura WWE produced documentary / dvd blu ray. I think the only thing that he gets paid for now is the streaming for WWE network for events he was involved with.
