All the celebrities who have shown their support for the 2023 writers’ strike

The writers' strike has ground Hollywood to a halt — and has garnered Hollywood's support.

On May 2, Writer's Guild of America (WGA) launched a strike, with demands including higher pay and a stable pay structure, per a list of WGA proposals.

The strike caused the immediate stoppage of production on late night shows and other shows. In addition, WGA members have been picketing outside film sets, studios and offices on both coasts.

Celebrities and public figures have also come out to publicly support the writers. Jay Leno brought donuts, Larry David sent bagels, and Imagine Dragons put on a surprise performance.
