Colbert rocks the strike.
Edited on Fri Jan-25-08 10:19 AM by Orsino
He turned a surprising family connection into a civil-rights documentary and a moving tribute to the WGA, and to his own writers in particular. Stephen's father was instrumental in settling the 1969 hospital workers' strike in Charleston.

I wouldn't ordinarily direct anyone toward Comedy Central's online content, that being an issue at the heart of the strike, but these are worth watching, in order:

The '69 strike and Stephen's dad: http://www.comedycentral.com/motherload/index.jhtml?ml_video=148029
Interview with Andrew Young: http://www.comedycentral.com/motherload/index.jhtml?ml_video=148028
Sign-off with Young: http://www.comedycentral.com/motherload/index.jhtml?ml_video=148027

Stephen dropped out of character quite a bit. Bravo! I doubt Pharaoh Viacom is pleased with him.
