The WGA won’t let any of their writers write on any of the awards show. That means no WGA writers on the Golden Globes or the Oscars. The two awards shows have asked for waivers, but the WGA has turned both shows down. That means Jon Steward is prohibited from writing his own Academy Awards monologue. Patrick Verrone, the WGA president hopes that the strike will be over before the Golden Globes, so they wouldn’t even be needing any exceptions. But, for now, the two shows that rely heavily on writing will have no WGA writers.

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.

    Oh no. No more forced, stupid dialogue between presenters. Maybe this will cut down the show to less than 2 hours.

    It’ll be a better and more interesting show without the writers.
