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-Doocey and the Judge), and it's being quoted EVERYWHERE! (He should sue, it'd give him something to do during the strike....)

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.)
