Whether or not you’ve been following the deliberately tedious creationist/transitive property scandal between Conan O’Brien and off-and-on teammates Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, I think we can all agree that anything that brings these three together for an extended brawl scene — complete with stunt stair tumbles, slo-mo face smushes, and recycling bin torture — is a beautiful thing. (Scan to about 4 minutes in for the action.)
The three late-nighters all appeared on each other’s shows last night. You can see the Daily Show and Colbert Report‘s segments here, but it’s fair to say both were weaker-willed leadups to Conan’s main event. So who won the actual brawl? Based on a strict formula of facial expressions + reverse pivots x general inanity, I must award last night’s MVP medal to Stephen Colbert during the came-out-of-nowhere dance party. Those were some sick moves for a Frenchman. Also, to my dear seedy warehouse buddy Conan, this is what you get for prematurely shaving that hot, hot beard.
I just want Huckabee to stay in the race so we can have 9 more months of this hilarity.
I thought this was so funny! I <3 each of them!
Huckabee just won West Virginia! Oh, this is great! I love this election! It’s historic and bizarre; it’s historically bizarre!
Ha ha ha. Didn’t see this last night (can’t stay up that late) but that is some fine TV right there. Great to see all of them together.
This made the fact that I was still awake at that time worth it. Too funny!!
I like the Rocky IV-style portraits at the end.
Oh man. lol! These guys are way too funny!
I loved this! It was so funny. 3 of my favorite guys together is great TV. I rather liked Colbert’s fancy footwork, too. Not only as a dancer, but his whole float like a butterfly routine, too.
i loved the little spin stephen did while on the ice skates.
and how did i miss the conan shaving his beard? i miss it so.
I miss the writers. I love these three, but they are really reaching for material.
The best part was on Colbert when they started whipping off their belts and shoes. Love them all!
I loved the brawl, but my favorite parts of the night were the conversations in the hallway while Conan/Colbert waited for Jon, or Jon/Conan waited for Colbert.
i loved the irish jig part haha
please let huckabee stay on so we’ll have more of this
I loved the maniacal look that Conan got after he punched Stewart and Colbert. I also loved the end with Huckabee. Tee hee! I recorded this so I could watch it in all its glory later (maybe during a break in election returns).
Of your three choices I say Colbert won due to his wicked dance moves. I actually think Huckabee won it all.
