if we’re not careful this whole damn country is gonna unionize and all the workers we’ve spent so long dehumanizing are gonna start demanding dignified lives and wages and you’re not gonna be able to make $50 mil a year for just being a CEO who sucks shit at your job anymore 😔

we’re only now seeing the devastating impact of the strikes. is this really the hollywood we want, where even ted sarandos can’t say he earned $50 million last year? how many ceo’s will be priced out of their homes in Brentwood before we acknowledge the greed of writers & actors?

I read this. It is FANTASTIC.

I can't wait to see which show wins the lotto to get Fake Carol to staff with them (but I'd prefer more to see FC create a series.)

This platform floods with gospel on how to make your script the morning kitchenette hot topic while bagels toast. For me there’s only 1 pearl that works. Make your script fucking great. Fake Carol you win the week ahead. Take your phone off silent. It’s gonna ring loud and often.

this is very entertaining, and made me miss Succession (but not the strike)

Carol Lombardini This is the best spec I’ve ever read

This is probably the best spec episode of a television show I’ve ever read. (Closely followed by one years ago called Entourage Year Zero.)

“scoop”? I literally wrote about Sam Altman’s secret hollywood meetings in the Succession fanfic script I posted on Monday: drive.google.com/file/d/1oECN3j…

I can’t stop thinking about this hilarious script. I’d like to be a showrunner for many reasons, but mostly so I could immediately hire Fake Carol.

I wrote a whole ass script for you people and this is the energy i’m looking for 🤣🖤

jesus christ

This script is incredible, for real.

I urge you to skip this and instead come on down to the AMPTP kickoff rally where we’ll be raffling off a $20 mil “free cash flow” bonus for 1 of 5 lucky CEOs and setting the negative of a prestige film on fire for a tax write-off. plus free child labor crafts for the kiddos!

let this be a lesson! the way to get ahead in this town is to stay in line, keep your mouth shut, and hope someone else has the fortitude to stand up and stick their own neck out so you can later just slide in there and reap the benefits of their sacrifice

well another classic carol negosh in the books, feels like I may be looking for a new line of work soon. gonna give TV writing a shot! if you’d like to staff a lady who makes donna langley lol, lives for drama and has encyclopedic knowledge of mid-tier lunch options, get at me!

now that the strikes are over, my babies at The Hollywood Reporter asked me to sit down and reflect on what these past six months (six months?! it went by so fast!) meant to me, and where Hollywood goes from here

exactly. we’re more than happy to back up the money truck if you demonstrate true talent, such as sacrificing the HBO brand to put Dr. Pimple Popper alongside I May Destroy You on an unusable streaming platform pointlessly called Max
