For the first time in 2 months, the Daily Show and Colbert Report return to the air waves sans their writers. It should be intersting to how good (or bad) the programs will be without writers to prep their various skits and jokes. Remember that even Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert are bound by the WGA so they can not themselves write jokes for the show. They can ad lib things, they can suggest skits and the like but any prepared content that involves writing is prohibited.
Probably the big change will be guests will be given more time and more "remote" skits will be performed then normal. Since both programs only had actors on once in a while, the SGA not allowing members to appear on the programs will probably have no effect in booking of guests.
Good or bad, I am looking forward to their return. They must have things to say about last weeks Iowa Caucuses and tomorrows New Hampshire primary should provide plenty of fodder to fill out their week.
