Since it appears the old thread is lost forever…
Last night’s Conan vs John Stewart vs Stephen Colbert throwdown was friggen AWESOME. I lost my shit when Colbert put the trash can over Stewarts head and Conan hit it with a baseball bat.
The 3 of them were on Conan?
The girl and I were laughing pretty hard at the slo-mo punches they were throwing. And the dancing bit. Colbert is a pimp.
If you were watching The Daily Show and then The Colbert Report before Conan, the build up to the fight was fantastic.

Damn I missed that, I’ll have to catch the repeats then Tivo the lives for the aftermath.
Oh man, I caught the build up across Colbert & Daily Show, brilliant stuff. Can’t wait to see the fight! Glad to hear it was awesome!
Yeah, the build-up was perfect, and the payoff on Conan was a great. Here’s a link to the the finale on Conan. And here’s to hoping those rumors of a strike settlement happening soon are true.
That…that…makes me almost, ALMOST, believe that there is a God and that He is looking down upon us and smiling.
is conan worth watching with the writer’s strike going on? I mean i love conan and letterman but it just doesn’t feel the same knowing the writer’s are striking and both guys are “winging” it.
Since I couldn’t find the Colbert Report thread:

There are so many great little moments in that fight.
Stewart’s weird facial expression as he hits Conan repeatedly with the bat, Colbert’s reaction to being tossed down the stairs, the final Rocky III homage.
The entire thing is more cartoonish then most animated shows on the air right now.

Letterman has had his writers for almost a month. Leno is still beating him in the ratings, though, proving that Leno’s show doesn’t suffer for a lack of writers. It couldn’t get worse.
Well I actually think Conan has been better since they lost the writers.

I agree. His first two or three nights back from the strike, with the camcorder stuff - brilliant.
For my part, Conan’s weak spots were usually the really poorly done sketches. The fact that they can’t do those really makes it more enjoyable. The Daily Show and Colbert Report are definitely lacking without writers.

I thought Stewart was kinda rough at start, but he’s gotten more confident since then and it feels fine. His strength was always interviews anyway. Colbert I’ve barely felt a difference. I’ve really loved the tone of time wasting on all three shows, but that can’t last forever. I think all three made the best of a shitty situation, but it will be nice to get back to quo.
If last night’s episode was anymore awesome, it wouldn’t be visible to the human eye.
The best thing about the writers strike is the Stewart/Coblert/Conan battle…which was great.
