Want to get us back on the air? Do the following three things:

1) Do NOT (and spread the word not to) watch whatever they put in ours and Colbert’s time slots next week – the last thing we need them holding over us are comparable ratings.

2) E-mail Sumner Redstone, at Viacom’s website:

Demand that he come back to the table and negotiate a fair Internet and DVD rate for writers. And pass it on to like-minded others.

thanks for your support.

I can’t imagine Stephen not supporting the strike. And obviously he couldn’t write the show by himself anyway. Since the campaign is over, maybe he’ll do some book touring, assuming the strike lasts any significant amount of time.

I cant help feeling more sorry for the writers than i am about the lack of shows,the crash course in corporate greed we had off NFZ over the past few days speaks for itself…

Ah this sucks, I hope they get what they need from the strike. So does this mean Stephen will be striking as he is a writer aswell?

Hang on, so who all would be striking? TDS/TCR writers and writers for what else? And is it solely writers?

@nifty

I guess there’s no point in hoping for a strike resolution during the weekend…

Can’t hurt to hope, right? I know I am, as implausible as it is.

Besides being majorly bummed out due to being a huge TDS/TCR fan, I had all these guest appearances on late night TV I really wanted to watch. Obviously, they can’t reschedule those people when the strike is over as the relevance and timing would be out of whack, so it means NO APPEARANCE FOR YOU.

I guess there’s no point in hoping for a strike resolution during the weekend… blargh!

I have no words to express how saddened and pissed off I am about this.

Say it ain’t so! I don’t know what I’ll do without my Daily Show and Colbert fix…oh, the humanity!

Support those writers! For without them, TV studios would be NOTHING!
