Fred Armisen is excellent here. This parody drives the point home.

Here a writer from The Colbert Report explains the situation from the studio's perspective in perfect Stephen Colbert parody. "Nobody makes money on the internet, if you don't believe me - Google it!!"

The Daily Show Writers

Jason Ross, a writer from The Daily Show explainins what the strike is about in a Daily Show way. This is very well done and funny. John Oliver's cameo in the end is priceless.

First Post

Welcome to my blog. I started this out of boredom and desperation since I don’t have the Daily Show with Jon Stewart to watch. And that's nothing less than tragic – especially as we go into the election year. Without my primary news source, I’ve been forced to search the internet for info as I can’t bear to watch the crap that is the cable news networks.

As many of you know, internet has become a haven for the creativity of many writers and I thought I’d create this blog as a hub for some of the information and happenings on the net.

Thanks!
Jake
