It would have to be the first one after the Writer's Guild strike is over, and I know it can't happen, but it would go like this:

[camera focuses on Jon Stewart, moves in while the logo for 'The Daily Show' flashes on screen, then zooms off]

"Before we go, let's check in with our good friend Stephen Colbert over at The Colbert Report, Stephen my friend!"

[split screen comes up, showing Jon Stewart on the left, Stephen Colbert on the right]

"Jon, words cannot properly express how much I've been looking forward to this day. It's like a breath of fresh sunshine, a shining beacon of air, a dram of gramamine on a shippy storm- wait, Jon, who wrote this?"

"What do you mean, Stephen?"

"Well, my writers are back, right? They'd never make me look stupid this way, they'd make me look stupid in completely different ways."

Mr. Stewart chuckles, grinning. Sobering up enough to speak: "Well, that's the thing, Stephen - this wasn't written by your writers. We got this from a guy off the Internet, he wrote it during the strike for us for the day it was over. It's a, it's homage to them."

Stephen scowls, spitting out, "You mean this was written by a scab? How could you, Jon? After all the writers went through, the blood, the sweat, the tears?" He calms down visibly. "And for my writers, especially the blood, they had to keep food on their families somehow and some places pay pret-ty well for a pint of O Negative. How much did you pay this jerk anyways?"

"Well, he said we could only use it after the strike was over, but all he wanted was a writing credit. It cost nothing."

"Really. He did it for free." Stephen looks interested, pulls out a pen and a piece of paper. "So what's his name, anyways?"

Jon grins. "I'll tell you after the show, see you in a moment my friend." He turns to another camera. "That's our show! Now here it is, your moment of Zen."
