Colbert and Stewart return January 7th!

Yes. Fucking FINALLY...The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report return on January 7th with new episodes, presumably without writers:

IMDB broke the news; For me at least:

Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, each of whom is a member of the Writers Guild of America, have agreed to return to the air on January 7th -- presumably winging their material without their staff of writers. In a statement that was presumably written down by someone, the two remarked that they would have preferred to return with their writers. "If we cannot, we would like to express our ambivalence, but without our writers we are unable to express something as nuanced as ambivalence." Their announcement leaves David Letterman and Craig Ferguson as the only late-night hosts without an official return date. Letterman's production company, Worldwide Pants, which produces The Late Show and The Late, Late Show on CBS has been attempting to work out a separate deal with the WGA, which many had expected would be announced this week. Meanwhile, in an interview with the Kansas City Star, Ferguson suggested that he doesn't know anything about the negotiations, saying only, "The day Dave goes back is the day I go back." And if the show goes back without writers? "I'll have to speak without thinking, which actually, I have two failed marriages, so I think everybody knows I can do."
