In the pledge from the Writers Guild of America East and West, a variety of actors, including Charlamagne tha God, Amber Ruffin, Samantha Bee, Desus Nice, and The Kid Mero, were among those who pledged to seek greater representation behind television shows' scenes. "We as hosts, showrunners, executive producers, and head writers of late-night and comedy television, and we all agree that our continued vitality and relevance in our industry is contingent upon recruiting, supporting, growing, and retaining diverse talent, as well as ensuring that our on-screen and off-screen employment reflects our country's racial diversity.' Though display styles, layout, and program differ, the problems in this sector are systemic, and writers of color must be addressed at every show,'s said. We must maintain a common commitment to this profession as writers with authority and a certain code of conduct. We know and promise that we'll get to the end.'
