January 7, 2008 - January 10, 2008

Hollywood, Uniontown, Unionbridge, and Tenstrike. The 2007-2008 WGA strike was underway, and the Daily Show was one of the few programs to return sans writers.

On January 9 the strike theme was abandoned in favor of Manchester, Concord, and Dixville Notch. This was the night of the New Hampshire primary. The next night the strike theme returned.
