what we do today will be tomorrow's news
There are no new shows today - the strike is on. But that doesn't mean there isn't news! (mostly x-posted from my journal)
I'm following this blog and this blog (and of course NFZ). Highlights include:
- TDS and TCR did not tape today, nor Leno, nor Ellen
- Steve Carell didn't show up to tape The Office, so that show may be lagging, writers or no
- Barack Obama supports the writers
- There's a probably false rumor going around that Jon will pay writers and staff of both shows to strike
- Jon and Stephen MIGHT be back in some limited way if the strike lasts more than a few weeks
- showrunner Shawn Ryan explains why he's striking (this is very eloquent; read it)
- John Oliver and Eric Drysdale on the picket lines in NYC
- NFZ solicits ideas for how we the Colbert Nation can help - with one particularly interesting comment ...
Also: Stephen called in to a radio show this morning (The-Brown-Haired-Guy-Who's-Not-Steve-Do
And Jon Stewart will be on the Biography channel this week. I don't get that channel! WOE! (He's also got an interview in the Nov. 15 issue of Rolling Stone.)
