dead. and saturday night live has been giving people so much life. what is going on, why the poteial strike? first ofall, i understand why they would want to strike. there are health care issues. there are residual issues. there s a thing happening right now where if you do an eight-episode series you might be held for a full year before you go back. there are people expected to make a living over eight episodes. stretch that over 365 days it s really hard. i m not even here as an actress. i m here as a fan of television. i m hoping that cooler heads prevail and they ll stay at the negotiating table. when a strike hits l.a. it affects the entire city. everything shuts down. it feels like, i think for people who are tv fans, viewers, we take for granted that that product that we re seeing, there are lots of lots of people. oh, my god. there s at least 20 people in here with us today.
