20:50Now PlayingIn an interview with CNN's Sara Sidner, comedian Adam Conover blasted David Zaslav, the CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, the parent company of CNN, while discussing the Writer's Guild strike. Conover pointed out that Zaslav made $250 million last year, while the WGA is asking for a 3% raise. Conover said that this shows that the TV industry is still very profitable, and that the WGA is simply asking for a fair share of the profits.
Conover's comments come as the WGA is currently on strike against the major Hollywood studios. The strike is over a number of issues, including pay, residuals, and healthcare. The WGA has been on strike for over two weeks, and there is no sign of a resolution anytime soon.
The strike is having a major impact on the TV industry. Many TV shows have been delayed or canceled, and others are being produced with non-union writers. The strike is also costing the studios millions of dollars in lost revenue.
It remains to be seen how long the strike will last or what the outcome will be. However, Conover's comments have put a spotlight on the issue of pay inequality in the TV industry. It is clear that the WGA is not going to back down without a fight.
