During the May 1 episode of "The Late Show," Colbert showcased a collage photo of his show's writers on screen, along with himself as a WGA member, and said, "They are so important to our show." He added, "Without these people, this show would be called 'The Late Show With the Guy Rambling About Lord of the Rings and Boats For an Hour.'"
Colbert also stressed the importance of the WGA and AMPTP's negotiations, saying, "Everybody, including myself, hopes both sides reach a deal. But I also think that the writers' demands are not unreasonable. I'm a member of the Guild, I support collective bargaining. This nation owes so much to unions."
