Rejoice, for Michael Eisner is the bearer of glad tidings. This morning on CNBC, the former Walt Disney chief said that major media companies and the Writers Guild of America had reached an agreement:

It's over," Eisner said. "They made the deal, they shook hands on the deal. It's going on Saturday to the writers in general."

Eisner, speaking live on CNBC's "Fast Money," seemed to hesitate initially about whether it was possible that the writers could still reject the agreement, but finally suggested the deal's acceptance was inevitable.

"A deal has been made, and they'll be back to work very soon," Eisner said, adding, "I know a deal's been made. I know it's over."

Woo hoo! Not sure what I'm most excited about: no longer having to resort to watching "The Real Housewives of Orange County," or welcoming back my beloved writers from "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" or "The Colbert Report." Can't wait to see those zingers aimed at all the presidential candidates. That's the only thing that's been missing this campaign season.
