Cheers to Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert and Conan O'Brien for welcoming back their writers in style. During the strike, the hip late-night triumverate trumped up a sidesplitting feud as a way to kill time without scripts. But with the WGA work stoppage resolved, Comedy Central's Stewart changed the temporarily retitled
A Daily Show back to
The Daily Show, and Colbert presented a new pencil to each of his scribes, including surprise guests Tiki Barber, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Kevin Bacon and Mr. Met. Over on NBC's
Late Night, O'Brien revived his opening monologue, observing that during the past few months, "Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton both declared their support for the writers' strike. Meanwhile, President Bush announced he's in favor of a readers' strike." It's official: Our long, national TV nightmare is over.
