Anyone in the United States lately, that enjoys TV at all, is probably aware of the Screen Writers Guild(SWG) strike. It’s been going on for several months, keeping us watching reruns.
Well, last week, several nightly shows started to fight back(kinda). Jay Leno, Conan O’Brien, Jon Stewart, and Stephen Colbert have started their nightly shows again, WITHOUT the writers. These guys all started in stand-up comedy or in writing for TV comedy, surely they can still write their own shows. So how’s everyone doing?
First, Jon Stewart, I love you. Please reconsider. You NEED writers. I don’t know why. You are terribly funny. But this is very, very sad.
Conan, we’ll do yours next. You used to write great TV comedy for The Simpsons(among others). You still have it. You are as funny without your writers thanyou were with them. Your show has never been better. Consider maybe some new blood when this SWG is settled.
Jay. Jay. You were great. Now you’re fucking hysterical. You used to do a stand-up show 365 days a year. It shows. You’ve still got it. But then again, you’ve had more experience at this than the others.
Finally, the youngest blood, is Stephen Colbert. You started off BAD. You got better. You’re hanging in better than your buddy Jon, now(maybe give him a hand?). Does seem like you’re using a lot of old clips though. And Papa Bear(Bill O’Reilly) can just fuck off.
Just a thought. Call it social commentary or something neat like that.
-Loki.
