Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, the stars from the Comedy Central, returned Monday night after nine weeks of the writers’ strike.

The first to the start was Stewart with "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart," where for 30 minutes he talked about the strike. He made a joke regarding last time the show was off the air, after the September 9/11. That’s when the show was off the air for a week.

Stewart said: "So if my math is correct the writers strike is nine times worse than September 11."

He also made a remark about the fact that in all this time when there was so many material to mock about his show was off the air.

After the statement a clip followed showing Mike Huckabee at a rally with Chuck Norris and a joke about Iowa and New Hampshire: "Cold white people have had their say," the USA Today informs.

On the other hand, Colbert put the strike on second place and instead talked about politics.

Both hosts interviewed labor experts, but Colbert did it at the end of the show. He first talked about Barack Obama to writer Andrew Sullivan. 

About 30 striking writers picketed in front of the studios were the hosts tape the shows yesterday, Reuters reports.

In his talk with Richard Freeman, an author of a book about unions, Colbert took the side of the studios’, in a satirically way, saying that without companies "The workers would not be workers; they'd just be people unless the capitalists said here's a place to work.”

Stewart supported the writers’ cause and attacked the solidarity of Screen Actors Guild. Writers got “actors to speak out on their behalf. 'Oh my God! You guys got Sean Penn to advocate your cause. You must have -- a cause."

Colbert made fun of the teleprompter, now empty due to the strike.

He said: "My understanding is that this little magic box, it reads my thoughts and it lays them on the screen right there.”

“The writers?, he went on. “The guys on the 4th floor with the opium bong playing ‘Guitar Hero’ all day?”
