LAWeekly is reporting that Leno, Conan and Kimmel are all going into repeats beginning tonight because of the strike. Meanwhile, Portfolio.com says that Jon Stewart is paying Daily Show and Colbert Report writers out of his own pocket for two weeks. (Pictured: Writers picketing at 30 Rock in NYC.)

I didn’t know there was a “we’ll work if you pay us” exception to a strike.

I don’t think they’re working — Stewart is just covering their paychecks.

Yes, I just came back after reading about it elsewhere. You’re right. Good on him.
