Several late-night hosts and comedians such as John Oliver and Amy Schumer signed a Writers Guild of America pledge to improve diversity, equity and inclusion on TV.
"We will look for applicants in more diverse spaces than the traditional set of colleges, universities and comedy spaces, and we will expand our existing networks by seeking recommendations from a broader and more diverse group of writers, networks and lists," the statement said.
"Our members are aware and committed to the ideas and the actions in this important pledge," WGAE executive director Lowell Peterson said in another statement to the Hollywood Reporter."The pledge is proof that people in positions of power, as well as those at the staff writer level, embrace the change needed to insure BIPOC voices are a vital part of the influential world of late night and comedy-variety television.
