From The TV IV

This is the current season of The Colbert Report. Content may change as new information and details become available.

The 2008 year of The Colbert Report is the fourth broadcast year for the series. When the season premiered in January it was without its writing staff. Like The Daily Show and other late night talk programs, The Colbert Report was forced into repeats by the Writers Guild strike in November 2007. In December 2007, Comedy Central announced that both programs would return to the air, despite the lack of a resolution.

In order to compensate for the inability to use written material, several minor changes were made to the series. Though it still resembles its pre-strike form, each episode typically has two to three interviews instead of one. The main interview, for which episodes are titled, still take place in the "interview area" while there are some secondary interviews done from the desk. Additionally, the opening pre-credits segment has been cut, as well as recurring segments like The Word.

The writers returned to the show after the strike was ended on February 13, 2008.
