I am in the middle of finals during my first semester of graduate school. I am busy, tired, and just the slightest bit stressed. I would love to be able to take a half hour break and catch up on current events in a way that allows me to laugh at the world and at myself. However, you are not on. I am not taking a position against the writers strike. In fact, I understand the writers strike. I’ll I am saying is that I have not had time to buy groceries and have no food in the house, I have a pile of dirty laundry, Christmas gifts to buy, I have to be at work until midnight, and I have a thirteen page paper to write for my class (which is due Saturday. Saturday? Really? We have class on Saturday?) and I’ll I would like is a half hour comedic break. Instead I have been forced to eat my meals, such as they are (mainly fluffer nutters and asian delivery), while getting my news from more reputable sources such as the New York Times, the BBC, and The Week. I find my news much harder to digest in these more serious formats, and I would really appreciate it if you could come back and give me a few more episodes, just to get me through finals. Further, I had tickets to your show on NOVEMBER 5TH, the first day of the writers strike. I had been a wonderful enough and thoughtful enough girlfriend to arrange, a month ahead of time, for my boyfriend and I to attend your terrifically free show while he was in town visiting. I had built up the surprise plans for that evening for weeks. Instead, we were forced to walk to Rockefeller Center to decide that the ice skating was too expensive. The best news to come out of this is that my boyfriend has agreed to come back to the city so that we can attend the show as soon as it is back on and I can get tickets again. Therefore, I feel, that at the very least, I should get my choice of dates for free tickets as soon as you are back on. Really, they should be VIP tickets.

Dan and I deciding that ice skating is too expensive. Sure, its a cute picture, but how much more fun would it have been to be at the daily show?
