Stephen Colbert and John Stewart take some time out of their busy schedule of bashing people to…bash people.  These two appear on the cover of Entertainment Weekly spoofing the controversial Barack and Michelle Obama cover found on the New Yorker.

Stewart stops briefly to pose a taste question. As he stands by the catering table in ‘’secret Muslim” garb, he ponders, ”Would it be weird to be dressed like this and have a bagel, salmon, and a schmear?” Pseudo-blowhard Stephen Colbert has his own worries. Striking his best Michelle-as-Black-Panther pose, he glances at the original cartoon and realizes that he’s ”hippier” than the potential First Lady. Gesturing at his own waist, he moans, ”I could drop a baby like a peasant.”

More than just the hips, I think Colbert definately has the attitude down pat.

More John Stewart

Even though the Writer’s Strike is still going strong, The Daily Show will return on January 7th.

In a joint statement, Stewart and Stephen Colbert said: “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.”

I personally think the show will bomb.  I can’t imagine Stewart and Colbert coming up with 30 minutes of material every night.  What do you guys think?
