OMFG!!! Daily Show & Colbert Report back on tonight!
 
They are both back on with new episodes starting tonight! I'm ecstatic!

The late-night talk show host parade gets bigger tonight when Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert return to the air.

Comedy Central's The Daily Show With Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report are back, but without writers. While Stewart and Colbert are both members of the Writers Guild of America, they're technically coming back as performers, not writers. But who's actually policing that kind of thing? What's stopping both guys from, say, writing their own material in secret at home, memorizing it and, oh, pretending it was all off-the-cuff on the air?

No one, that's who.

I guess the WGA is relying on the honor system or something similar to it.

Unlike the other late-night talk shows, The Daily Show and Colbert Report depend more on writers more for all the skits and fake news segments.

So, the question remains: Who's gonna write this stuff?

Perhaps everything will magically write itself. And if that happens, the striking writers are toast.

I love these guys. Cant wait!

I need my DailyShow fix. Especially with all the political news lately with Obama locking down the Democratic nominee.

I have mixed feelings about this, but since they are the only two shows I cared about, I can't say I am disappointed.

I don't care if they go on the air and make funny faces for the duration of the shows, I'm just glad they are back.

They say they are doing it for their the viewers and for everyone else at the show, Camera, lights staff and everyone else. They still support the Writers strike but they claim the show must go on.

I'm more into Colbert lately, his one weird ear takes getting used to though.

crockett 01-07-2008 09:32 PM

I must be psychic because for some reason I thought Colbert was gonna have a beard.

uno 01-07-2008 09:34 PM
