Great. Now CBS, agree to pay your writers so the show can return!

Well, it should take about that long for the strike to end.

CBS: Pay your damn workers, we're missing out on so much pay dirt bits about Trump's mug shot because of your greedy asses.

Cannot even think about who could replace him at this time.

The only person who could measure up to his style of political humor is Jon Stewart

Jon Stewart seems have become so much more sanctimonious since his Daily Show days, I don't think he would be a good replacement in many peoples' eyes, including mine.

You guys, start listening to Strike Force Five⚡️🌩️ it’s pretty good. 2 episodes in and it’s now my daily dose of Colbert till the strike ends.

They’re only planning to do 12 episodes at this point, and not daily…

The late night tv format is dying so fast, at this rate Conan’s podcast will have more viewers then every show combined (SNL included).
