Stephen Colbert Is Reuniting Your Favorites From 'The Daily Show'

Remember when Matt LeBlanc didn’t want the “Friends” cast to reunite on his spinoff show “Joey” because he had a deep desire to make it on his own and viewers were like, We just want to see those funny friends together again; what is this Los Angeles-based abomination?

Well, this isn’t exactly like that, but now that Stephen Colbert is beating the Jimmys (Kimmel and Fallon) in the late-night ratings wars, the former “Daily Show” comedian is getting his own friends back together for a reunion.

Next week on May 9, Jon Stewart, Samantha Bee, John Oliver, Ed Helms and Rob Corddry will all be guests on Colbert’s “The Late Show.” All except Helms have been on the show before, but this is the first reunion of the full group.

Unfortunately, Steve Carrell is not scheduled to appear, but maybe he’ll show up via PiperChat Google Hangouts or some other remote method.

Both Colbert’s show and competitor Jimmy Fallon’s are heading into sweeps — a good opportunity for Colbert to ensure his viewership ratings are particularly high.

What will it be like when “The Daily Show” crew reunites? Will Stephen’s first line to the newly reunited cast be, “How you been doin’?” Tune in to find out.
