I was just talking about the Daily Show, and how we need it during the 2008 campaign year. I said there was no doubt in my mind that Jon Stewart would come back soon. I thought even politicians would get involved- they need that show for PR."'The Daily Show with Jon Stewart' and 'The Colbert Report' will resume production on January 7 with both shows returning to air that night without their respective writing staffs. The January 7 return follows a scheduled two-week, end-of-year hiatus that was previously built into the shows' production calendars. We continue to hold out hope for a swift resolution to the current stalemate that will enable the shows to be complete again."

"We would like to return to work with our 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."
— Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert
The Huffington Post says Letterman is also going back on air the same day as Conan and Leno, but I haven't heard that anywhere else. Letterman's reps tried to reach a deal separately with the union but nothing was resolved.
