I’m so happy the WGA got such a strong deal! Kind of amazed honestly. What do you think it means for writers like Craig Mazin and TBA who wrote their (very wonderful) shows without a writer’s room?

There's a carveout in the deal for that. Showrunners who want to write every episode can petition the WGA to allow them to continue doing that. As Chris Keyser (showrunner of Julia, and a member of the WGA negotiating team) told the TV's Top 5 hosts on today's show, the concern is much less about the Taylor Sheridan or David E. Kelley types than it is about the studios and streamers pressuring showrunners to not hire other writers.
