Michael Eisner is claiming the strike is over. The WGA may have stopped picketing, but it’s not over yet. The WGA is drafting up a deal today. Then, they’re going to email the members and post the language of the contract on the WGA.org website so the members can read it before the big Saturday meeting. The WGA West is meeting at the Shrine Auditorium, while the WGA East is meeting at the Crown Plaza for informal talks with the leadership, where the members can have an open forum to express concerns, and say what they want. Essentially, it will be an over opinionated and articulate “open mic”.

Then, on Sunday, the WGA West/East will approve a tentative deal before it goes to a membership vote. Once everything is approved, the WGA leaders will call off the strike, and send out ballots for both branches of the WGA to vote on the contract. So, despite what Michael Eisner says, the strike is not over, until the fat writers (well, not all of them) have John Hancocked…and then, let there be scripted television.

About

Although comedy is her profession, Nadine has accomplished a lot in her young age. She is a national champion black belt, a world-class soccer player, and an avid snowboarder. She started playing soccer at the age of 4, and continued playing through college where she majored in Biology, but quickly realized her destiny was to tell jokes, not to wear a lab coat. So she decided to be funny while finishing her Bachelors Degree in biology and continued on to get her M.B.A. Nadine’s comedy style is much like her athleticism, fearless. She’s made her way up the comedy ladder very quickly, and has become a club favorite at many of the country’s top comedy clubs, including the Improv chain. Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and being noted as the “one of the youngest and brightest up and comers” and traveling to the Middle East to entertain the troops are just a few of her notable accomplishments. These days Nadine splits time between the stage, a radio studio, her computer blogging, and a television studio. Nadine’s TV, Radio, Writing credits include: national commercials, talking head roles on E! Entertainment, Showtime’s Hot Tamales Live, The Skinny: Fat Free News, The Sunny Side of The Truth: Real World Hollywood, TVgasm, Zazreport, Daddy’s Girls, Jerseylicious, celebrity interviews on Mania TV, a weekly half-hour television show that syndicates to colleges across the country for National Lampoon and a nightly radio show on XM Satellite Radio.
