No Rest For The Wickedly Funny: Stewart and Colbert Will Broadcast Straight Through To The Election

Breaking news from the New Yorker Comedy Festival: Stephen Colbert said yesterday that his show, as well as "The Daily Show" will be putting their planned hiatus on hiatus and broadcasting straight through to the election. The two shows (and their respective staffs) were originally scheduled to break for vacation during the week of October 13 - 16 (this has been corroborated by NoFactZone.net, which also posts the links for requesting tickets. Go go go!).

Meanwhile, SNL just came off of four straight shows in a season that started two weeks early, and the cast and crew are finally taking a well-deserved break...just in time for the debut of the first special "Saturday Night Live Weekend Update Thursday" (did Palin name that thing?) on October 9th. No rest for the etc. etc.

the only media flacks w/a serious audience who regularly address the absurdity of the political process, and that of their own media brethren. invaluable

Loving Colbert at the moment. Trouble is, we don't see enough of him across the pond. He's on very late at night, and only maybe once a week. Come on Fox, pull your finger out! Colbert's a very funny dude, and an excellent satirist to boot...

Please, just go live 24/7 until this is over.
Please

They put their hiatus on hiatus? What's up with these flip-floppers!?

Yeah, thanks for holding off on the planned vaca's. Up until the election you'd be missing some great material, and we, the public, would be missing all of your great material.

Love you guys!

Yippee! Watching Stewart, Colbert and Tina Fey is the only thing that's going to get me through this nightmare.

Stewart and Colbert is the only people that i can count on,when it comes to actual information.
no one among the cable network provide the real answer when it comes to information.

It relief my pain from the liars while laughing and listening to Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert.

They were my heroes and the truth teller vs. Faux channel,CNN,MSNBC.

Best place to get the lowdown on how what is happening, happened and why it matters.
