I'll just say it: strike or no strike, I'm glad to see Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert back on TV.
I think they both handled the awkwardness very well by making it explicit that they were ad-libbing the entire show. Colbert was brilliant, even without the use of his teleprompter. And Stewart, true to form, was able to make fun of both sides of the issue. Just as he would normally be pointing out the idiocy of Republicans and Democrats alike, Stewart managed to walk the tightrope by ribbing his executive bosses and pot-smoking peers equally.
(NB: It's ironic that the links above take you to a Comedy Central owned page with internet advertising, which is exactly the dispute in question with the WGA writers).
