YouTube Description
as posted by the channelMore than 11,000 members of the Writers Guild of America are on strike.
It's the first TV writer's walkout in more than 15 years ... and it has halted production on some of the most popular shows in the U.S.
One immediate casualty: late-night TV ... The talk shows are shut down. No new episodes. No new words.
But there’s one place on TV where the words never stop, where the content is always fresh, where there is always new programming - the US Congress.... Congress on TV.
LIVE on C-SPAN, and they keep on talking and debating. The new words keep coming.
Sometimes scripted, sometimes unscripted…. And sometimes they even talk about late-night TV talk show hosts -- the ones who aren't on TV right now!
In fact – Representatives and Senators don't just talk about late-night TV talk show hosts – they tell their jokes!
If you want to hear jokes written on late-night TV -- jokes you may be hearing for the first time …. listen to Congress ... and listen to the latest episode of C-SPAN's "The Weekly."
