What to expect with TV writers on strike: First late night will go dark. Then comes the fall

Salon  

The prevailing maxim of the so-called Golden Age of Television is that TV is a writer's medium. For people who remember that season, that strike resulted in shortened TV seasons for shows like "Heroes" and "The Big Bang Theory" and delayed debuts for other shows, including "24." "Swarm" One of the most astonishing examples of this occurred behind the scenes of "Swarm," Amazon's recently released critically acclaimed hit Donald Glover produced with "Atlanta" collaborator Janine Nabers, its showrunner. As Nabers shared in a New Yorker article spelling out the TV writer's dilemma, "Swarm" is the product of a 14-week mini room entirely conducted on Zoom that ended in early 2021: But it wasn't green-lighted until the second episode was shooting, a year later. That episode's host had not yet been announced, so if the strike is resolved by then, Davidson may yet be slotted in to make his "SNL" hosting debut.
