Is the show the same? No, it's defintely weaker.
And although I don't know them personally, I feel that they definately share a peice of their public life with the audience. Wether it's Jon Stewart thrashing crossfire, or Stephen Colbert crying over lost emmy's, or Jon Stewart's humbling post 9/11 speech, I feel like they share more than jokes.... they share outrage at a world that doesn't make a lick of sense anymore.
So I don't mind sitting through bad jokes (they've been through slumps before). Sharing their outrage (or uncomrtability) about the writer's strike seems to help quell the loss a little bit. Besides, without them, I seem to have lost my desire to keep wathing politics. (Although maybe, with things as they are, that was inevitable anyway).
