Alison Sweeney Brings Junk Food For The Writers

It has been less than a week since the Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike officially began, but it is already severely affecting many television shows. Enormously popular shows like Family Guy and The Office will only air one more new episode before going into reruns.

Many supporters of the strike continue to bring goodies to the picketing lines. Alison Sweeney (Sami, "Days of Our Lives") paid a special visit to the NBC lot to bring some junk food to the writers.

But not everyone is as sweet on the strike. Ex-Disney CEO, Michael Eisner, blasted the WGA strike at the Dow Jones/Nielsen Media and Money conference yesterday. According to an article in The Hollywood Reporter, the former studio head quipped, "For a writer to give up today's money for a nonexistent piece of the future -- they should do it in three years, shouldn't be doing it now -- they are misguided they should not have gone on the strike. I've seen stupid strikes, I've seen less stupid strikes, and this strike is just a stupid strike."
