Who won the Conan/Colbert/Stewart brawl?

Feb 5, 2008, 03:43 PM | by Annie Barrett

Categories: Celebrity Feuds, Current Affairs, Television

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.

Holy crap, this was hilarious!!!! :)

Martha Wed, Feb 6, 2008 at 11:15 AM EST

Thanks, Annie - I really, REALLY needed a good laugh today and this was it. Have to agree that America won this one. The use of the Arctic Monkeys and "Eye of the Tiger" was inspired. Did anyone else catch the camera (as Conan) looking down on a close-up Jon Stewart? Classic.

Elizabeth Wed, Feb 6, 2008 at 07:55 AM EST

Thank you Annie!

Mike Wed, Feb 6, 2008 at 01:38 AM EST

This writers strike needs to end. So these guys can get back to doing what they do best. Last night was pathetic.

Secondrink Wed, Feb 6, 2008 at 01:29 AM EST

Omg, if you added Andy Richter, Steve Carell, and Ed Helms to this...my head would explode. It'd be like a comedy super hero group, and Tina Fey could be the token chick.

It's pretty good as is though ;)

Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 11:55 PM EST

I agree with Colbert's assessment - really America won!

ProgGrrl Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 10:03 PM EST

For those of you who missed one or more of the three shows, which all had "visitors" last night - I've got all three show clips in one place here: http://proggrrl.livejournal.com/95253.html

Lisa Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 09:54 PM EST

They just need to bring Chuck Norris into this now.

Rebekah Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 08:15 PM EST

Of your three choices I say Colbert won due to his wicked dance moves. I actually think Huckabee won it all.

Megan Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 05:51 PM EST

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).

KG Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 05:42 PM EST

i loved the irish jig part haha
please let huckabee stay on so we'll have more of this

Miri Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 05:25 PM EST

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.

Patty Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 04:46 PM EST

The best part was on Colbert when they started whipping off their belts and shoes. Love them all!

Dru Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 04:33 PM EST

I miss the writers. I love these three, but they are really reaching for material.

lalia Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 04:32 PM EST

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.

Raven_Moon Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 04:32 PM EST

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.

Stephanie T. Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 04:21 PM EST

Oh man. lol! These guys are way too funny!

Rahul Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 04:15 PM EST

I like the Rocky IV-style portraits at the end.

AJ Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 04:11 PM EST

This made the fact that I was still awake at that time worth it. Too funny!!

Daniel Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 04:10 PM EST

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.

WH Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 04:09 PM EST

Huckabee just won West Virginia! Oh, this is great! I love this election! It's historic and bizarre; it's historically bizarre!

Maegan Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 04:07 PM EST

I thought this was so funny! I <3 each of them!

Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 04:00 PM EST

I just want Huckabee to stay in the race so we can have 9 more months of this hilarity.
