saturday nite lead

will forte and kristen wiig (two of our fav snl performers in a long, long time) tell you how to help the wga writers strike:



(tip of the kangaroo tail to christy at fdl for finding this gem at united hollywood!)

also via united hollywood, we find this press release on nikki finke's deadline hollywood daily:

on thanksgiving day (november 22), a group of writers guild of america members will begin posting public service announcements featuring a-list screen actors guild talent as part of an independent wga membership's "speechless" campaign conceived by director/writer george hickenlooper and writer alan sereboff. for the first time in the tv and movie industry, high-profile sag actors will be taking their talents directly and exclusively to the internet -- the very medium which is at the center of the current wga labor strike against the alliance of motion picture & television producers...

included are sag talent such as sean penn, holly hunter, laura linney, alan cumming, jay leno, harvey keitel, kate beckinsale, tina fey, tim robbins, gary marshall, david schwimmer, patricia clarkson, james franco, julia louis-dreyfuss, martin sheen, josh brolin, susan sarandon, andre 3000, chazz palminteri, jason bateman, christine lahti, patricia arquette, jenna elfman, olivia wilde, richard benjamin, paula prentiss, eva longoria, justine bateman, joshua jackson, rosanna arquette, diane ladd, rebecca romjin, minnie driver, nicollette sheridan, robert patrick, matthew perry, ed asner, and america ferrera and the cast of ugly betty. arrangements have been made to also shoot woody allen, maggie gyllenhaal, jane fonda, marisa tomei, ethan hawke, jason alexander, charlize therone, minnie driver, philip seymour hoffman. many, many more are also in the works.
but not, apparently, skippy!

the spots will appear exclusively on deadline hollywood daily until next monday, at which time they will also be found on united hollywood and speechless without writers.
