WGA Update: Comedy Central Writers Drop In On Washington

Next week, a plethora of writers from The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, and The Colbert Report will be dropping in on Washington, DC to hold a mock debate about the current WGA strike situation.

"The debate will be held Jan. 23 in the Rayburn House Offic Building and moderated by Dee Dee Myers, former Clinton White House press secretary and consultant/writer on NBC's The West Wing.

Writers in attendance will be The Daily Show's Rachel Axler, Kevin Bleyer, Tim Carvell and Jason Ross; Colbert Report's Michael Brumm, Peter Grosz, Peter Gwinn and Tom Purcell; and a special guest appearance by Allison Abner, former West Wing writer.

Legislators hosting the debate are Reps. Jerrold Nadler, Anthony Weiner (both New York Democrats) and Jan Schakowsky  (D-Ill.)"

I wonder what will take place at said debate, and I wonder if it were to be broadcasted on TV would that be crossing the picket line. I don't think we'll be lucky enough to see this kind of stuff on C-Span. I might actually have to wake up from my coma.
