Hollywood screenwriters went on strike on Tuesday. NBC and talk show hosts Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers have negotiated a solution for their "Tonight show" and "Late night" shows.
The broadcaster will pay salaries for all employees for the next two weeks, after which Fallon and Meyers will pay the salaries of staff out of their own pockets. Employees have also had their health insurance extended until September. The last time the screenwriters in Hollywood went onstrike in 2007-2008, the conflict lasted 100 days. Many analysts believe that the strike could last for several months.
