Conan Shows Up To Confront Stewart And Colbert And "Kick Some Comedy Central Ass"

Just when we thought the "Who made Huckabee" argument was over, Stephen Colbert and Conan O'Brien are at it again, bringing their drama to the set of "A Daily Show" Monday night. After Colbert played footage from "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" in which the gangly host commanded that Colbert never discuss the matter again, Conan was forced to show up at Jon Stewart's show, where the trio came face to face to face for the first time.

The dangerous triumvirate made their way to the set of "The Colbert Report", where tensions rose.

But things didn't get really ugly until the threesome made an appearance on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien".

At least no one got shot.

Conan's really just a large girl, Steven's 'The Man' and Jon's the 'Big Cheese'.

Will somebody please set them up with a round of writers, 'straight-up'. The networks and studios WILL BE buying.

All three of these guys are very talented.

But that performance last night was the best evidence yet that at least two of them desperately need their writers back.

These three men are a riot, no matter what they do. They ARE the best writers on TV!

I still love "Strangers With Candy", Stephen has always been the bomb. Along with Conan and Jon.

Without their writers, they have been reduced to stunts. Settle the strike. Support the WGA.

What a bunch of negative Nancy's here. I guess some people don't get humor or satire. You are the people I see in the elevators in my building every day looking like you just smelled a chile fart. What a boring life you must lead. They are all great and funny guys. I would rather watch them than any news station - at least I know it would be the truth.

The most wasted of all days is one without laughter.

I still can't figure out how they are not scabs by broadcasting during the WGA strike.
But then after seeing that lame skit last night, I have to believe that no real writers were used in the process.

First rule of talk show host fight club.

[ClockworkOrange]

personally, i'd prefer to clash all of their heads together (with coconut sound effects), and tell them "Back to WORK, you Knuckleheads!"

slow news day?

[rmreddicks]

Who gives a rat's ass about scabs and other strike breakers?

[kkuate]

I thought these TV gurus were smart and funny. Come to find out, without writers input they become very ordinary. It makes me think of politicians.

[Filinbills615]

I think this circle-jerk has gone on quite long enough. Last night it was finally funny for a second. Let it die.

[OSIRISZ]

Who gives a shit? why is this something to report on huffington?

[frozenporklander]

I don't know, this is getting a bit Kaufmanesque for me... seriously, when do they bring in Jerry "The King" Lawler and Jimmy Hart?

It's obvious you didn't follow the fight to it's conclusion on Conan...

I enjoyed the threesome on the Daily Show and Colbert but it really payed off on Conan. The fight was a classic and will certainly be a youtube hit by the end of the day.

Just checked... it's up on youtube and well worth watching for anyone who missed it.
