Dear @strikeforcefive :
Thank you for everything--for supporting your staff and writers, and for continuing to entertain fans like me who have been having way, WAY too much fun listening to the Late Night Host Club get together in real life.
Very distressing to hear about the writer’s strike. A) because it’s hard to see creatives continuously punished for pursuing a career they love and B) because, over the course of the pandemic, TV has become a source of comfort and inspiration for many people. Within the past couple years there have been a lot of wonderful shows that have come out and a significant portion that are not only good but also enacting change. Major companies producing shows like Our Flag Means Death, The Owl House, Abbott Elementary, etc. is so important for the culture and representation. It’s going to be so hard to hear about the oncoming cancellations (stay strong s&b fans for s3/SoC spin-off) but it’s been even more depressing about all the underpaid artists still struggling when media has become such an integral part of society. Whether it be animators, set designers, costume designers, story-boarders, composers, painters, illustrators, writers — ALL of these people make the shows we love possible and, more than that, meaningful (magical and all the other cheesy nice adjectives).
Just thought this was meaningful to say since this platform is primarily for celebrating media and fandoms. No matter how much or little you want or can be involved in the situation, awareness is always significant
"Do you know how hard it is to turn on the TV and see an actor playing 'George Santos', who is not only more believable than you are, but also way more attractive?!"
Harvey and The Late Show took it up a notch on his second guest appearance as Santos.
