So, for those that don’t watch these shows, here’s the deal:
Over the past few weeks, Stephen Colbert on “The Colbert Report” was taking credit for Mike Huckabee’s success in Iowa (and later primaries) because Huckabee came on his show just before the caucus. Thus, Colbert “made” Huckabee.
Conan O’Brien, on Late Nite with Conan O’Brien, then took credit for “making” Huckabee because he always refers to Chuck Norris in his show, and Norris is a Huckabee supporter…so thus, Conan “made” Huckabee.
Colbert was not happy about this and kept yelling at Conan over the airwaves, and vice versa. Finally, Jon Stewart of “The Daily Show” comes on “The Colbert Report” to show a video where he, when on “The Jon Stewart Show” (MTV) in 1994, introduced the new host of “Late Nite,” Conan O’Brien. Thus, Stewart made Conan, Stewart made Colbert…Stewart made Huckabee.
Apparently, last Friday night, Conan threatened to descend from network television to the depths of cable TV to Comedy Central if Colbert and Stewart brought it up again, after showing evidence that he was actually the doctor that delivered both Colbert and Stewart (a “doctored” photo, of course…yet strangely hilarious…).
Well, of course, Colbert stops by “The Daily Show” at 10:00 to see Stewart, talk about it…and then Conan shows up. They’re gonna fight it out, but Stewart says he has to wait until the end of his show. They wait…but by the time Stewart is done, Colbert has left to start his own show. Stewart and Conan then go on “The Colbert Report.” Of course, Colbert has to finish his show, and by the time he’s done…Conan has to do his show…down the hall…
The battle royale culminates in the video above. Colbert and Stewart get in an all-out brawl on “Late Nite”…and it’s pretty hilarious…
I mean, the video is funny enough without reading all this back-story I just provided…but for those that want to know why they’re fighting…there you go… 😛
P.S. All this stuff I just wrote is on YouTube in different clips, but I didn’t want to post all of it…the above is, by far, the best part…
