"A" Daily Show with Jon Stewart (sans writers) starting now!

[Up2Late]

This is interesting so far!:evilgrin:

[Suich]

1. Who's his guest? n/t

[Up2Late]

2. Don't know yet, nobody to write that part of the show...

...oh wait, he's got a guy who's a an expert on Strikes, a Professor from Cornell, just came on.

Edit: His name is Ron Seeber (sp?)

[Ichingcarpenter]

3. Sounds like he supports labor more than corporate

But not too much, I just tuned in right before the commercial.
Anyone do a google on the guy?

[Up2Late]

6. Here's a link to some of the stuff he's written...

...I haven't read any of it yet.

8. Good program, Jon is really giving the union a shot in the arm

He is great to see again.

[Radical Activist]

4. Is this union busting?

Is this like someone crossing a picket line? I would be seriously pissed if a show with a liberal audience is going against the writer's union. I haven't been following this.

5. I'm not sure on TDS and Colbert deal on the strike

My opinion is that this is OK with them on how TDS is doing it right now.

[Up2Late]

9. I don't think so, so far it's all been Pro-Union talk...

...with a strong, "Hey Producers! Stop being such pricks..." attitude.

[Ichingcarpenter]

10. Both Jon and Stephen are brilliant! Jon on crosstalk and Stephen @ the dinner

They didn't get to sit in those seats just on the writers
but couldn't carry the show alone without them.

I think they both support the strike....Now Stephen on.

[Orangepeel]

11. they crossed the line

Stewart and Colbert don't own their shows like Letterman does and have no power to negotiate with the union.

7. Ah, I forgot to

record it! Oh well, it'll be repeated later thankfully.

It's been so long...I can't wait!

12. Replay's on.

Woohoo.:(

[Ichingcarpenter]

13. Worth the wait....this will go far on the internet

to give the writers the support they deserve.

By giving that internet site a boast on the writers strike
it opened up many people to their viewpoint.

I think Jon did a good job... and then the interview next.

If Malloy had been on, I wouldn't have watched it.....LOL

Oh, well, guilty pleasure, after an absence.


I need a Professor's guild.
