In a series of ongoing negotiations that kept hopes high over the weekend, representatives from the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) engaged in deliberative dialogue. However, the talks took a humorous turn when the studios posited what they termed their “best and final offer.”

- Ariana Grande, Dalton Gomez divorce settled prenup and payout
- Salma Hayek Pinault to Be Honored With Giving Tree Award at 2023 Baby2Baby Gala
- Jonathan Majors’ Trial Sets Next Hearing for October
- Magic and Cookie Johnson on HIV/AIDS Awareness and Their Concerns That ‘Young People Are Not Scared’
Following this statement, made just before the continuance of discussions, union members took the opportunity to indulge in some light-hearted banter, playfully mocking the AMPTP’s phrasing on social media. The scenario ignited the creative sparks of individuals such as Mike Flanagan and others, leading them to brainstorm fictitious movie titles encapsulating the somewhat chaotic nature of these negotiations. Titles such as “Best Final Offer: 3D” and “Off4: The Best & The Final” were some of the whimsical suggestions.

Adding to the comedic relief, Eden Danger and George Samir Nader chimed in with their unique contributions, including “FINAL OFFER TOKYO DRIFT” and “B&F: The Undiscovered Contract.” The amusing atmosphere extended further with Warren Leight drawing parallels between AMPTP’s offer and David Brooks’ notorious $78 meal at a Newark Airport, illustrating the comparison with an image of Brooks’ costly burger and fries.
SAG-AFTRA’s Mike Puateri and comedy writer Mark Agee brought a personal touch to the jesting, sharing anecdotes relating to “last, best, and final offers” within everyday scenarios. Dan Signer cleverly joined the banter with a witty remark about a Smart & Final advertisement featuring bananas, joking about the urgency of accepting such a “final” offer.
As the humor rolled on, Glen Mazzara pitched his imaginary show “BEST & FINAL,” while Sarah Watson humorously urged those crafting “best and final” jokes to “STAY IN LINE.” Not to be left out, a faux Carol Lombardini playfully pleaded with the WGA to accept the offer to avoid an even more enticing one, subsequently joking about extending the spirited negotiations into Sunday.

Actor Paul McKinney added his humorous take on the situation, while others, such as former Grey’s Anatomy showrunner Krista Vernoff, brought a more critical perspective, pointing out the power dynamics at play and questioning the use of the term “last, best, and final offer.”
David Slack and Scott Collette further scrutinized the repetitive nature of such offers and speculated on the potential need for a federal mediator, should the negotiations not reach a satisfactory conclusion. They emphasized the potential challenges CEOs might face in justifying their salaries and historical losses to the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS), speculating on the possible government scrutiny of studio finances.
In a turn of events marked by wit and humor, the ongoing talks between WGA and AMPTP illustrate the complex and multifaceted nature of such negotiations, combining serious deliberation with moments of lightheartedness and critique.
