Finally, professional wrestling has been unaffected by the strike. Both the WWE and TNA have been carrying on without writers. After the strike was announced that week's edition of RAW made a joke of it when Shawn Micheals asked "Who writes this crap." and Triple H replied "I don't think anybody does; they're on strike." This will also affect the start of 2008 revivals of American Gladiators (NBC), i Guess i was right i think it was crap lol STRIKE NEWS DAY 9 SHOWS IN TROUBLE According to Jim ABC Writing Halted Army Wives Lifetime Writing Halted STARS IN STRIKE Sarah Chalke Ken Jenkins Angela Kinsey STARS IN SUPPORT Jon Stewart STAR IN TROUBLE Ellen DeGeneres stated that she supports the writers' strike, but crossed the picket line.[137] Her show continues production as normal with the exception of her monologue being omitted. The WGAE issued a statement condemning DeGeneres, stating that she was "not welcome in NY"[138] A statement defending DeGeneres was subsequently issued by AFTRA, which was then responded to by the WGAE
