Behind The Scenes - Conan O'Brien & Jon Stewart "Fight"

[TehBird]

This must have been a fun day at work.

[ramprire]

lol the brick is a sponge

[bluenightfox]

19 dislikes!!!!???!!!!

[realomon]

the BOSSES are on the room ;)

[Lovegood44]

1:22 John's Giggle!!! LOL

[hectorriosjaime]

@Lovegood44 jajajajaj xD

[neonamco]

19 people are the other less successful late night hosts

These 3 guys are my favs. Just throw Maher in there and it's perfect, but he's probably not as physically comedic as these brothers

[anybody606]

jon stewart and stephen colbert... ooh!! They both give me such a wettie!!!

[29573428937]

That's just plain hilarious when Conan squeezes the brick.

[pettyspringsteen312]

I have never been more attracted to Jon or Stephen in my life.

[Zejex15]

3:41 LMAO!

[EVAUnit4A]

Ugh- I can't find the fight itself on YouTube! >.<;

Good to see the outtakes, though. Thanks for the upload!

[davidlynn77]

@EVAUnit4A the fight itself is on youtube. It's called Colbert - Conan - Stewart feud Part 9/9.

[MrJuggalo1616]

2:30 there def in there to smoke pot

[Erilis666]

@MrJuggalo1616 lmao, yes

[Superwondermanhyper]

Amazing vid, I love these guys.

[WMsandKFCisBackMOFOs]

White guys

[1idiotzebra]

there's nothing better then grown up men being silly.

[szeretetesbeke]

Does anyone know where I can find the actual video? All I can find on youtube are fan videos

[JGask72]

My three favorite people on this planet. <3

[HughyQuella]

Fucking CLASSIC!! BTW who keeps disliking these great vids?? Did Conan give your mom an uppercunt or what?

[bingerofd00m]

Now I wanna go to a club with my friends and do the dance like them!

[OhHelloSugar]

I love these boys with all my little fangirl heart.

[hgb0005]

Two of the funniest guys ever. And Jon Stewart.

[whilshals]

3:07 guy in back left walks in on shot

[MyRocky1976]

They're all so funny and attractive *sigh* why can't all men be like them?

[Char2805Live]

"The Holy Trinity of Hilariousness"

Jon- The Father

Stephen- The Son

The Holy Ghost of Late Light- Conan

[hailbrando]

them talking in between makes them more real. god i love them. *sigh*

[adebrysi]

i wanna hang with these dudes

[adi87tya]

I want candy glass bottles.

[piedlourde]

Colbert's dancing KILLS me, I love that man so much! XD

I want to bear his patriotic, God-loving, bear-fearing children of Thruthiness.

[NoXoNaToR]

cast away would be epic with tom hanks, colbert, conan, and stewart lol

[cawcaw89]

After their three shows run their course, I definitely think they should get together and do a late night show together. I'm sure they could do a late-night comedic version of the View. haha. I'd watch. Then again, I watch the three of them back to back every night now.

[povrick]

@cawcaw89

Absolutely! In Australia we used to have a show called "The Panel" which is essentially what you describe. It was brilliant and i think these 3 could do a more news oriented version that would be amazing.

[cawright11]

"Stephen's actually biting down." LOL

[cawright11]

@cawright11 "Stephen's really biting." Oops. misquote.

still funny, though :D

[AnimeFanPan]

lolwut

[Queenlizzybeth]

I like how we hear them chat with each other... makes me think they are all friends... that's quite moving. Kumbaya, gentlement. Kum-ba-yaaaaaa

[ExodusPessoa]

@Queenlizzybeth lol lol lol lol lol lol lol

[oneuptheextraman]

This is what happens when the writers go on strike. lol

[sarajlija88]

Fuckin stupid American humour

[ColbertsMyHero1]

@sarajlija88 lol u mad

[Clausfarre]

Listen to what Conan says about comedy compression at the end. If only he knew how true it was to be!

[xxmusicfashionlove]

I loved watching this. It's great to see the real dynamics between them.

Wow, I just realized they're all a year apart! That's crazy. I wish they'd do more stuff together, the three of them.

[HeyPoi]

Yeah this 3Way Fight was probably one of the funniest things in late night programming.

[duckhuntchamp]

3:40 - 4:00 = The Best 20 seconds of my life (Besides my last blowjob) xD

[77bogart]

3:21 ......funny line after that scene.

[COUSAR77]

they are high ass shit cocaine is foe rich pockets

[sxlgame]

this should be Conan's "Jackass" crew

[akiross06]

they are having fun like kids :D :D

i love Jon's laugh :D

[Qpacalypse21]

this is awesome kus they all 3 of them come on right after each other here in canada

firth stewert then colbert then conan its the funniest couple of hours

[BUSTentertainment]

these guys are the best. lmafo. check us out too ; )

[hipp6y]

this must be the best job in the world

[hipp6y]

@hipp6y damn, i wish i had half this much fun when i work

[nutsbutdum]

@hipp6y Chris Rock put it best when he said: they have a career,...you have a job to do!

That's the difference:)

[hipp6y]

@nutsbutdum true, true. still, i have a distinct impression they'd laugh just as much even if they were doing it backstage a run down nightclub. they do save my life by making me laugh after a whole day of stress. otherwise i'd have croacked a long time ago.

[Kingaskong1234]

@hipp6y thats what she said!

[rainquen]

and the Oscar for "Worst Thing Ever".....ROFL love this...

[669ELGUAPO]

these guys could be the new 3 amigos.

[Shizukomaru]

@669ELGUAPO 3 Amigos? Im thinking 3 Stooges Reboot. I honestly think though, they should make a comedy show together. Something just over the top silly like the feud. Id watch.

[njoker555]

I remember this. Good times.

[rutgers1961]

How great it must be to have a job like these guys have. Laughing is not permitted where I work.

[BasmentGuy3000]

sad 2 say but they gonna be fighting in november but this time they gonna be fighting 4 are eyes

[celticstuffrox]

These three have great chemistry!

[funkxmonk]

Jon's laugh at 2.30-40!!!

[bonerpolice22]

"the worst thing ever shot" fucking busts me up everytime

[moviebuzzrocks]

can someone explain to me when this happened and why?

[Folkmann]

@moviebuzzrocks in feb 2008. It was during the writer's strike. It was so much fun. Not just the actual "fight" but also all the episodes leading to it

[moviebuzzrocks]

@Folkmann ah, thanks. too bad there arent any videos of what actually aired

[Folkmann]

@moviebuzzrocks But there is: at thedailyshow. com and colbertnation. com

[Wadewilsondp07]

@Folkmann is the actual fight on there or just the build up

[PriceLeonette]

I did not realize until not that Conan was Sooooooo tall......

[bsnxenogear]

wow... 18 guys are asses.

[NutcakeProductions]

i am begging these three: do something together again. you're my 3 favorite people in the whole world.

[xxPatheticEmoxx]

Who would have ever thought the funniest moments out of these shows happened without the writers?

[willlliw]

3 gods

[Nhzharuthopar]

TEAM COCO

[jcnsync1]

These are three of my favorite people in the world.

TEAM COLBERT!

[J1mmyAva1on]

TEAM COLBERT

[J0NDUDE]

CONAN!

STEWART!

COLBERT!

[Kerinko]

I love these 3. So freakin much.

[verticalsmurf]

The televised 'fight' could only have been improved if Chuck Norris strolled through a smoky, back-lit saloon style door through a door and stroked his beard, sending all three to the core of the Earth!

[flipthenuts]

you get to see jon stewarts ego here

[sajimylapra]

@flipthenuts in what way?

[KCShisho]

"The worst thing ever shot" LOL

[Catcherintherye11111]

[acouzticworx]

[wellitstrue102]

[greenwichlirr]

That conversation at the end is so damn cool--TOTALLY real emotions from Stewart and Conan. Classic stuff.

[kavalicious1999]

I need a poster made of 2:41

[NutcakeProductions]

Jon's girlish laughter just makes me smile. They all have great laughs, the kind of laughter that's just infectious.

They're all so adorable together, I don't know why. But they are!!!! :) <3

[brandnwyear2010]

@NutcakeProductions they are blessed with that talent, yo make us laugh :=)

[NutcakeProductions]

i love jon's girly laughter. him and ricky gervais' laughter just make me laugh harder.

[rockyirish]

a jew in a garbage can lmfao bout time!!! conan could take them both on

[leroyinc]

"When people get their big show"? Certainly Conan was thinking about "The Tonight Show" as he said that -- that is THE big show.

[chopstixninja89]

they look like they're having a lot of fun. they have the best jobs ever!!

[awv92]

they have soo much fun...im jealous

[monalisasmiles4you]

And Stephen Colbert!! Don't forget Colbert!!!

[azqazq]

I'm sure if Conan didn't have a no t.v clause with NBC he would be on BOTH of Stewart's and Colbert's shows.

[awv92]

@azqazq and that would be awesome

[margiee96]

i love alll of these guys

haha i love at the end coco and john are having that serious conversation and then its like oh snap time to shoot the show haha ((:

[jbizzzoww]

hahaha looks like they had a blast! miss you coco!

[NSKaters]

Jon's girlish laughter is absolutely contagious! Especially around 1:19-1:22

[raquel02130]

I LOVE YOU CONAN !!!!!!

more than you like hiting people on the head with sugar bottles

[SidNightWalker]

Y'know what you really realize here?Conan truly is a giant!And he likes to hit people with sugar glass a lot.

[Phished123]

can you blame him? i imagine it would be great fun to break sugar glass over peoples heads haha

[SidNightWalker]

Nah i really can't, it's something i've always wanted to try.

[iamgodmann1]

these guys are amazing haha

that has got to be one of the best jobs in the world

[wiggumoe]

conan is NOT optional!

i love them dancing :D

[lovelybones17171]

these 3 guys together is genius

[LetsOpenTheseSodas]

When Conan's bottle didn't break on Jon's head, I died.

[CamilleNadia]

@LetsOpenTheseSodas

Me too. But it's almost sweet how he screwed up because he thought the bottle was real and that he was really about to hurt Jon with it.

[MarthaMyDear64]

NBC already deleted Latenightunderground :(

Damn You NBC!!!!

TEAM CONAN!

[kittygirl792]

No, this is the BEST thing ever shot! Seing these huge comedy gods just fucking around. lol.

They need to shoot more backstage footage of Stewart & Colbert. (Conan is optional)

[Akram27bby]

Funnier than the actual fight hahahaha

[chiefrelic]

i love seeing these three at play

[falconfira]

Love all three. When Conan took the tonight show, I was conflicted.

[kevinworkratboy]

i miss coco!!!

[CamilleNadia]

Can't believe how friggin tall Conan is. But he carries it beautifully.

[Calikola]

4:50 It's funny that Conan said that about "big spaces" considering his Tonight Show stage was ENORMOUS.

Come back to NY Coco! We miss you!

[zoogarten]

@Calikola Yeah I noticed the same. Conan had a too big stage in the Tonight show.

[SidNightWalker]

Conan>>>>>>>>>Leno.Fact.

[zoogarten]

I just said that Conan had too big stage in the Tonight show and it's ironic that Conan himself commented about the too big stages in this video.

[SidNightWalker]

NBC are pricks, i think that's pretty much what went down.NBC prickishness.

[abster120]

I was totally thinking the same thing!

[blackyoshi1230]

@Calikola

And I guess we should have taken that guy's warning seriously at his last episode of Late Night: "LA's going to eat you alive!"

[cutapacka4]

@Calikola According to girl who went to the first test show, THE STUDIO IS SMALL AGAIN! I AM SO FREAKING OVER THE MOON ABOUT THIS! He may have made the mistake of getting the "big show studio", but ultimately knew after the fact that he needed the COMEDY COMPRESSION! I'm so ecstatic, I love Conan :)

[Calikola]

@cutapacka4 Yay! Glad to hear it!

[Crontica]

Oh my god.. GOLD GOLD GOLD!

[hardy329]

i miss conan all ready

[CamilleNadia]

That bit with the bottles was funny--poor Conan's worried because he thinks the bottle's real and he's really going to hurt Jon with it.

[Theycallmetomu]

I love how Jon giggles

[Tinhh]

Where can I buy fake beer bottles....

[drpeppero3]

they are made out of sugar.

[lonewolf604]

lol conan is so tall

[hairfreak23]

they cant work in a bigger space...hmm...comedy compression...

[WorkingKlassHero]

weird seeing colbert out of character

[aintskeerd]

2:42 looks badass-ish

[caitox]

They remind me of a group of teenage boys making silly movies together!

[mettlebomb]

Great video, kinda makes you feel like you know them a little more, I like the part after jon stewart is taking the trash can off and conan says taxi cab then throw the stunt double in.

[RhinoInABox]

4:14-4:25 is the best.

"The worst thing ever shot"

[prettyboydedede]

1:22 is so win XD

[cutapacka4]

@TheRealDEATHERON, haha, ok I see what you're saying. I feel like deep down Conan really does believe in this, but in order to make it to the "big time" he had to follow strict parameters expected of prestigious talk shows *rolls eyes* I just wish he would have stuck to his guns and did HIS thing, just at an earlier time slot, and didn't worry about what other people would think. Basically, he should never have changed.

Oh God, don't get me started on Andy... lmao

[cutapacka4]

"Dana Carvey had it best, he said it's comedy compression. It's not a big space, but so many people when they get their 'big show' get a space that's too big, and they don't understand that you can't do comedy in a big space." From his mouth to hindsight's ears, it's the absolute truth and reality of The Tonight Show as it is now. 200 people Late Night in NYC is tiny compared to the now 400 in LA. This is why Conan's lost his edge, his improv doesn't carry in large spaces. Wish he remembered :'(

[TheRealDEATHERON]

@cutapacka4 I heard that Conan was actually threatening to quit the late night show unless they bumped him down Jay leno's time slot. But now apparently I hear that NBC is looking to REPLACE Conan with a new host. apparently they r thinking about Jerry Seinfeld. now I 4 1 don't know or can't say if Jerry will do a good job or not, but I really don't want to see Conan be erased from television, I've enjoyed the way he acts and does things for too long, if Conan's gone I'am done with talk shows

[cutapacka4]

@TheRealDeatheron, Conan wanted to "move up" in the business, yes. When he signed the deal with NBC for the Tonight Show, he had done Late Night for 11 years, a long time to be second-dog in Late Night television. He wanted his big show, but that's not my criticism of him. What I'm critical of is his choice of studio for the Tonight Show. Not only did he leave New York, breeding grounds for comedy, but he enlarged his space which he even said lacks "comedy compression" and doesn't work.

[TheRealDEATHERON]

@cutapacka4 yeah this is true and I also agree with you. I've heard different variations from other people as well but still leading basically to the same point. I think more or less it's one of those "practice what preach" deals. Conan perhaps said this to himself as a means of promoting his own happiness or a way of dealing with his current situation. I find it really hard to believe that he forgot that advice though. I have a feeling he knew but didn't find that to be completely true

[cutapacka4]

@TheRealDEATHERON, well, as far as I'm concerned, it's 100% the truth. Conan, from my perspective, has lost a lot of what makes him him because of his new studio. You never realized when watching Late Night, but looking back, the energy of that tightly compact space fueled the fire of the show and Conan's comedic energy. Conan still tries to riff and do things off the audience, but it just doesn't work like it used to, jokes and comedy just don't carry in large spaces.

[TheRealDEATHERON]

@cutapacka4 no I said I agree. Comedy works in more compressed area's. what I was saying was that I don't think he forgot when he said this advice. I think he knew about what he said and didn't trully believe it. which is why he was so willing to go ahead and go into a much larger studio aswell as move across the US. I said that used this advice that he spoke of in this video as a means of coping with his deal as a Late Night show host. and yes he had much LARGER energy before, also before andy

[canyondeye]

@cutapacka4 I agree. I don't think he's less funny, however the interaction between Conan and the audience is not nearly as good as it was on Late Night. I really wish they'd make the studio smaller, maybe sneakily before next season or something. I really think 100 people off the audience would make the show a lot better.

[BonScottAC]

Conan was best during the writers strike, and if I were boss I would fire the late night writers.

[xcolonel]

wish i could hang out with these guys

[LordDoja36]

THIS SHITS FUNNIER THE THE SHOWS

[marius783]

When was this episode aired?

[ElennuhIsACat]

2 years ago, during the writer's strike

[marius783]

Thanks but i was refering to the exact date xD btw do you know where can i watch it or download it?

[ElennuhIsACat]

I can't give you an exact date, but I can tell you it was sometime in the first or second week of February. NBC no longer has the official fight video (I've tried to look). The best I could find was some of the stuff that led to the fight which you can find on the Comedy Central website. But since the fight itself took place on Late Night and NBC is not as nice about keeping videos, it's a lot harder to find.

[marius783]

Thank you ElennuhIsA Cat,

Damn you nbc and your not keeping videos policy D8<
