Stewart sported a uni-brow, likening it to other late night hosts' statements of "hirsute solidarity" and expressing his hope that the symbol would become the "writers' strike equivalent of the AIDS ribbon." He then quickly renamed the show, saying The Daily Show was a show with a creative team of field producers, writers, and correspondents. Until the end of the strike, Stewart has christened his show A Daily Show.
