Colbert Report/Daily Show Returning Jan. 7th!
Yes! They’re finally coming back! It’s been weird the past few months not having new episodes of The Daily Show and the Colbert Report to make fun of all the shenanigans going on in politics and life.
Since they’ve been off so long they’ve missed out on making fun of so many different things. There’s been men coming forward saying they’ve had sex with ‘anti-gay’ senator Larry Craig, President Num Nuts doing his job (nuff’ said there), the idiocy of the run-up to the Iowa caucuses and so much more. It’s great that they’ll be back in just a few weeks to bring the insanity back to normal.
The writers strike is still going on so tentatively they will be coming back without their writers, although they are hoping that a deal gets worked out with the Writer’s Guild of America. If a deal doesn’t get done they will mostly be winging their shows by having extra guests and interviews.
Personally, I think it will be interesting to see their shows without their writers. They themselves are members of the writer’s guild but it will be difficult to do 4 shows a week with little internal help. They’ll have to rely on having great guests and using their own smarts and sharp wit to put on great shows. I’m looking forward to seeing this!
It’s unfortunate that the Dems have put the hammer down on Colbert’s “Better Know a District” segment. Come on guys, give him some material here!

I’ve definitely been missing them. I really hope things get resolved soon though; I have a feeling neither show will be as strong as it is without its ridiculously talented writers.
I think you’ve been filling in brilliantly while they’ve been gone Alex!
Matt-Yeah, I totally agree but I would like to see the shows for a good week before the writers come back. It’s a unique opportunity to see the dynamics of those shows change before things go back to normal.
Justin-Thanks, that’s most appreciated!!
Hope you guys had a Merry Christmas!
