Watch “Double Merger, Triple Threat” from Top Story! Weekly Episode 144: “Stop! In the Name of Health Care!”
April 3, 2012Since the results of the SAG/AFTRA merger were being announced on Friday – after our submission deadline, I had to think of a way to write a sketch that wasn’t dependent on the results (even though the fact that they were announcing them in a press conference was a pretty good sign that the merger was going to go through). So I thought about the lengths to which actors go to get a break…and this comic look emerged.
