Conversation so far:
What was Stewart's involvement in the strike?
On The Daily Show episode just before the strike, he sarcastically commented about how Comedy Central had made available all episodes for free on their website.
What is significant about this?
The show went on hiatus when the strike began, as did other late night talk shows.

Question: How long was it on hiatus?
Self-contained rewrite: How long was The Daily Show on hiatus during the Writers Guild of America strike of 2007-2008?
