by I don’t mean to be a stickler here, but this wire story from over the weekend gets Tracey Ullman’s name wrong, and secondly, doesn’t tell me how her new Showtime sketch comedy show will get written without breaking the WGA strike. Does someone know the answer to this?
UPDATED and CORRECTED! Thanks, readers. As I suspected but didn’t see referenced earlier, Ullman’s show already written pre-strike. No worries.
The show was written and filmed before the writers strike. It was shot back in the first week of October.
The show is written, btw, by Tracey, Gail Parent (living legend), Bruce Wagner(LA satirist), and Craig DiGregorio.
Showtime lucked out getting the series filmed early. Earlier reports about the series pointed this out, and how having the Tracey series will be a big bump for the network, especially since the other networks have next to none new shows. I believe the Tudors was also filmed in advance, so Showtime will have quite a lot to play during this strike.
Hope this info helps!
