Writer's Strike? Writer's scmike....John Stewart might pay them himself

Update: Stewart's Rep Denies He's Paying Writers Out Of Pocket During Strike - Media on The Huffington Post: "In a show of solidarity with his fellow scribes, the Daily Show host has told his writing staff that he will cover all their salaries for the next two weeks, according to a well-placed source. He has also vowed to do the same for writers on The Colbert Report. A Comedy Central spokesman referred my inquiry about this to Stewart's personal publicist, who has yet to respond."
