Stewart vs. Colbert vs. O'Brien

[GameMaster]

On February 4th, the long-running Huckabee 'feud' between O'Brien and Colbert finally resulted in a 'battle' between all 3 hosts. Here's the videos incase you missed it. All 3 hosts came on each other's shows on the same night. All things considered with the writer's strike, I thought this was pretty cool if not funny at the very least.

Thanks for compiling these. I had seen the final one on Conan's show, but I hadn't seen the first two.

I love how they just end up dancing in the end. Funny stuff, I definitely prefer the shows with their writers, but I like seeing them have fun together.

I only saw the O'Brien installment, but I thought it was funny, but ran a little long.

Pretty funny stuff. While I really like Conan, I don't really watch his show all that often with or without writers, but what I've seen without the writers has been pretty damn funny. I'll probably watch a bit more when he moves into the Leno slot because it won't be on so late...I just hope it stays relatively the same and he doesn't start sucking like Leno. And I want to campaign for the Spinto Band to play on the show when our next album comes out...That would be incredible.

I know this is a lame excuse but anything that runs long I account to them thinking a good idea and try to get as much mileage out of it without writers.

With that said, I am a huge fan of Colbert/Stewart and loved the fued that was about a month long. The conclusion was epic.

Yea, good stuff. Im a huge fan of Conan. I honestly think Conan has actually been BETTER without his writers. I just love all the remote pieces he has been doing, that stray from the standard format of the show. Conan is greatest when hes interacting with the audience, or when he films a piece outside the studio. Last night was a perfect example, Conan just randomly picked someone out of the audience and gave them a tour of his studios, and they even went upstairs and saw SNL studios, which is one floor above Conan's. When I was in New York over the summer I did the NBC studios tour, and I have to say it was awsome to be in SNL's and Conans studios.

Hahaha yeah, that was great. Interrupting Brian Williams in the middle of live TV was classic.

Yea, I dont think they REALLY interrupted Brian Williams during live TV though. I mean if I was watching the NBC Nightly News that night, I dont think I wouldve seen that.

I could be wrong though.

[Swan]

Yeah, I love the pieces Conan does like that. One of my favorites was when he went into the studio during the strike and interrupted tours of the studio. One of them he yelled at the guide for telling wrong information. It was amazing

Yea I know, that was totallly awsome. I had just taken that exact tour over the summer, like I said, and I was just thinking about how awsome that wouldve been had it been me.

[The Germanator]

Well, looks like the writers are pretty much back anyway...

Well thats good to hear. Ive been craving new episodes of The Office and SNL.

[KillerGremlin]

Conan has always been my favorite talk show host, way before I was watching The Daily Show or the Colbert Report. I agree he doesn't need the writers, but at the same time you have to ask, how long before he runs out of material?

Good stuff though.
