All is right again in the TV world, because our favorite Jacks are back on the case: Law & Order's crafty DA Jack McCoy (Sam Waterston), who's running for reelection; and 24's tireless Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland), who's running from retribution when not saving civilization. Both have been known to bend the rules to win.
And both shows have been sorely missed: 24 postponed a year because of the writers' strike, and a rejuvenated Order inexplicably left off the fall lineup but suddenly restored this month to prop up NBC's ailing schedule ...

Before you grab a newspaper to swat that spider crawling across your wall, beware, you may be killing a Stephen Colbert — or at least, a trapdoor spider species recently named after The Colbert Report host. The spider was discovered along the coast of California last year but hasn't been named until now.Next Wednesday, East Carolina University biologist Jason Bond, who specializes in creepy-crawlies, will appear on the show to introduce Colbert's namesake, Aptostichus stephencolberti — and of course, since Colbert famously doesn't pronounce the "t" in his last name, it will also be silent in the spider's name.What do you think about new species being named after celebrities? — Erin FoxRelated• Use Our Online Video Guide to Watch More of The Colbert Report

Uh-oh! Looks like Conan O’Brien and Stephen Colbert’s tiff over who’s really responsible for Huckabee’s fame has reached a new level—we’re talking the ass-kicking kind! Last night, both Colbert and John Stewart appeared on Conan’s show to duke it out like men. Oh, and it was ugly too—bats were swinging, trash cans were flying and they even busted out a blow torch. It was no holds barred, we tell you!

Stephen Colbert by Martin Cook/Comedy Central
On Wednesday night's The Colbert Report, frontman Stephen Colbert presented a $171,525 check to the Yellow Ribbon Fund, a charity that aids injured service members and their families. The source of the benevolent windfall: sales of the "WristStrong" bracelets Colbert has been peddling, largely in jest, as part of a "wrist awareness" campaign he launched after fracturing his left wrist last June. Hey, even Lance Armstrong can't have a beef with that.

Stephen Colbert has been on a mission, and that mission, ladies and gentlemen, was to find a home for his ‘Portrait of Stephen’ in the Smithsonian’s collection of national treasures. Well, he may not have been able to get his mug hanging by George Washington’s military uniform, but he was able to nab a spot in the National Portrait Gallery for the next six weeks near our founding fathers—and right above the John.

Jon Stewart by Kevin Fitzsimons/Comedy Central
The only true “moment of Zen” I experienced while watching the awkward writer-free return of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show Monday night — or, as Jon Stewart is now calling it, “A Daily Show” — was when his sole guest, a professorial labor expert, said of bitter strikes like the one the Writers’ Guild is currently engaged in: “It’s never intractable.... Eventually, they all get solved.”From his lips to....What a day it was in Strike World. The shoe finally dropped regarding NBC’s telecast of this Sunday’s Golden Globes Awards. The ceremony is canceled, and the awards will be presented in a news-conference style, covered exclusively by NBC News. Talk about your lose-lose propositions. Conferring “news” status on the Globes is an absurd exercise in hollow self-importance. The only reason the Globes is worth a toss isn’t because of who wins — just try to remember who won any of last year’s awards...

Cheers to Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert for proving The Daily Show and The Colbert Report must go on. The Comedy Central cutups returned without their writers and mined rich laughs from the strike (Stewart's "solidarity unibrow" and reference to the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers as "NAMBLA") as well as the presidential campaign (Colbert's suggestion he should run as Mike Huckabee's vice-presidential candidate on the "Huckleberry" ticket). Sure, some of the jokes could've used (re)writers: Stewart's facetious likening of the strike to the AIDS crisis and 9/11 fell flat. But I'm voting with my remote — Stewart/Colbert in '08!For another take on the returns of Stewart and Colbert, read the Roush Dispatch. • Read and react to Bruce's opinions on Desperate Housewives, Celebrity Apprentice and more!• Share your own raves and rants about other shows on the Reader Cheers & Jeers discussion board.• We may feature your Cheer or Jeer on TVGuide.c...
