About At Midnight
"RENO 911!" alumni Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant -- and the popular website Funny or Die -- are among the responsible parties for the daily, late-night comedy competition "At Midnight. " Hosted by Chris Hardwick, the series welcomes a rotating lineup of top comics for a battle to determine who has the funniest take on the day's social media and pop culture happenings. Using social media as the catalyst and a fake game show as the setting, "At Midnight" challenges comics to turn the most absurd news and posts that social media has to offer into hilarious bits worthy of a stand-up act. The winner is crowned the funniest person on Earth -- at least until the next "At Midnight" airing. … MORE

Hollywood writers agree to end five-month strike after studio deal
By Mariko OiBusiness reporter
Hollywood writers will end their strike At Midnight Pacific time (07:01 GMT) on Wednesday, after nearly five months.
The Writers Guild of America (WGA) that union leaders " voted unanimously to lift the Restraining Order and end the strike".
Its 11,500 members will then vote on whether to approve a three-year deal that offers pay raises and protections around use of Artificial Intelligence .
A separate dispute involves actors, who are also on strike.
The Writers ' walkout began on 2 May, which members of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) joined on 13 July, Making It the longest strike to affect Hollywood in decades. They were striking in a row over pay and the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the industry.
It has cost the US economy around $5bn (£4. 08bn), according to an estimate from Milken Institute economist Kevin Klowden.
The dispute has shut down many of America's top shows, including Billions, The Handmaid's Tale, Hacks, Severance, Yellowjackets, The Last of Us, Stranger Things , Abbott Elementary and several daytime and late-night talk shows.
Some of them can now return to the air with Bill Maher , host of HBO's " Real Time , " that he would be back with fresh episodes starting Friday.
Earlier This Week , screenwriters with studio bosses, although no details were given.
However, The End of the WGA strike does not return Hollywood to normal as The Actors ' union which walked off The Job In July remains on strike.
Just like writers, actors are looking to improve wages, working conditions, and health and pension benefits.
They are also keen to establish guardrails for the use of Artificial Intelligence in future television and film productions.
The WGA breakthrough could act as a template for SAG-AFTRA to draft its own deal with Hollywood studios.
