@ JK You’re stuck with reruns! Poor baby!
Bitch about the suits who won’t pay the writers residuals, if anyone. I mean really, are these the faces of people who have money to burn?

I enjoy Jon Stewart style a lot
I also like William Petersen,CSI, but I agree he does not deserve 500000 USD per episode
ItÂ´s insane!

Why can’t suicide bombers pick striking writers rallies. I am tired of watching old re-runs.

The WGA was not protesting because they felt that Jon Stewart had done something wrong. They were protesting the forced return of “The Daily Show” (and a few blocks over, “The Colbert Report”) sans writers.

Jon and Stephen have been nothing but supportive to both their writers and staff and were essentially forced by their corporate leadership to go on air or risk having the entirety of their non-writing staff laid off. The writers still support Jon and Stephen. The writers were not protesting Jon and Stephen, but Viacom and the media moguls. According to the USA Today (http://www.usatoday.com/life/television/news/2008-01-07-stewart-colbert-return_N.htm), the writers said, “the unionâ€™s complaint wasnâ€™t with Stewart or Colbert, but â€œthat Viacom and Comedy Central will not yet make a fair and responsible contractâ€ allowing the hosts â€œto get back their writers.â€”

In a nutshell, the WGA simply wants Viacom and the AMPTP to come to a fair agreement with the writers.

Thank you for the picture – excellent scoop!

Ok, I’d like to know what the deal is. What is it that the SAG is asking for that these companies won’t give them? If they (NBC, CBS, etc.) can afford to pay these actors hundreds of thousands and even millions an episode, then I think they could probably afford to pay all the ‘behind the scenes’ folks a little more. Just saying…
