One important correction: the income from the podcast goes to the staffs of the shows and not the strikers. On one of the episodes the hosts were talking about how big the staffs are and Colbert said his was bigger than 200 and Fallon said his staff is about 300. Outside of the 20 or so writers that are on strike, the rest of the staff members are laid off until the shows go back into production. The crews are network employees and might be assigned to other shows. After being laid off long enough staffers are going to have to start looking for work and won’t be available when the strike ends. A technical expert like a sound mixer is probably in high demand elsewhere and if the strike ends on a Friday and the network wants a new show Monday, where are you going to find an experienced sound mixer?
