Yahoo News The Good Place cast reunite in solidarity with Hollywood strikes
"Nothing created on a computer can ever embody the humanity of people working as one."
Three years since the fantasy-comedy series came to an end, The Good Place's cast took to the Hollywood picket line together on Wednesday in support of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA union strikes.
Jameela Jamil, who portrayed condescending model Tahani Al-Jamil in the show, captured her reunion with Ted Danson, Kristen Bell, D'Arcy Carden, Marc Evan Jackson, Nick Offerman and creator Mike Schur on Instagram.

"THE GOOD PLACE PICKET," began her picture gallery's caption. "This show was one of the most beautiful experiences of our lives. Because of EVERY member of the crew on that set. The vibe of a set changes the work on screen, and you can feel it vibrate through the art all the way to the audience.
"What is being proposed reduces and eventually destroys this craft, this community and this work, because nothing created on a computer can ever embody the humanity of people working as one. With WGA AND SAG /AFTRA and IATSE all the way forever.
"I went dressed in honour of TAHANI, and she told me to tell you, it's actually KAMILAH who has been pushing for A.I. to replace us all. What a FORKING BUNT."
Echoing Jamil's callback to The Good Place's in-universe inability to swear, one of her followers replied: "Holy Forking Shirtballs! Everyone deserves a good, fair contract!"
"Love that it was all you guys and Mike Schur! Getting the whole family back together!" added another.

Initiated back in May, the Writers' Guild of America (WGA) packed away their laptops, typewriters and notepads to rally against unfair pay and artificial intelligence content creation across the industry.
The Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) followed suit two months later, forcing many projects for the big and small screens to halt production while the studios negotiate a deal with the unions.
Unfortunately for entertainment lovers everywhere, this has also pushed back the releases of completed movies and TV shows, as the performers cannot fulfil promotional commitments.
