Picket lines formed outside studios in Los Angeles and New York Tuesday (May 2) as thousands of writers downed tools in a strike over pay and conditions in the streaming era.
Late-night shows fronted by the likes of Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Myers and Stephen Colbert were expected to be the first casualties as 11,000 union members walked off the job for the first time in 15 years.
