“The solidarity and bravery of this crew are just so impressive,” said Cathy Repola, National Executive Director of the Editors Guild at the time. “They fought not just to improve their own working lives; they have also set a standard that will benefit all those who follow in their footsteps at this TV comedy institution. It was an honor to work with them on reaching this significant agreement.”
In addition to the broadcast on NBC, “SNL” streams live on Peacock at 11:30 p.m. ET/8:30 p.m. PT.
