Solidarity! Tina Fey, Tim Robbins, Kristin Davis, John Edwards, And The Creepy Guy From “Lost” Rally For Striking Writers

In addition to signs literally proclaiming “solidarity” (see at 0:22), according to Patrick the event was a study in same, with strikers, celebrities and hangers-on all remaining after the speeches, “chatting it up with the smallest of press members (including me with my Canon Hand Held).” Writers from The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, SNL, and Late Night With Conan O’Brien were all in attendance, plus Jordan Carlos (aka Stephen Colbert’s black friend), apparently filing a video report. Comedian Richard Belzer was there with big-fish Sopranos mastermind (and writer’s writer) David Chase, near his longtime cast member and now recent 30 Rock guest star Edie Falco. Nearby, ER’s Anthony Edwards and Julianna Margulies joined Glover and Robbins, both of whom also spoke, behind SAG NY President Sam Freed.

That was a great video, and who knew that Kristin Davis would be such an awesome spokesperson for unions and the rights of working people! But what did Aasif say?

I appreciate what Micheal Emerson of Lost said at the very beginning of the video, likening writers to inventors. As Stephen would say, “Nailed it!”
