STORYLINE:
Tina Fey, Seth Meyers and Fred Armisen joined writers on the picket line outside of Silvercup Studios in New York City.

The three former "Saturday Night Live" cast members are all writers as well as talent in front of the camera.

The Writers Guild of America is seeking higher minimum pay, more writers per show and less exclusivity on single projects, among other demands — all conditions it says have been diminished in the content boom of the streaming era.

Late-night television was the first to feel the fallout, just as it was during the 2007 writers strike that lasted for 100 days.

All of the top late-night shows, including "Late Night with Seth Meyers," which are staffed by writers that pen monologues and jokes for their hosts, immediately went dark.

NBC’s “Saturday Night Live" is also dark and airing reruns instead.

It's the first Hollywood strike in 15 years.
