Future late-night rivals, Conan O’Brien, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert kicked off their face-off early with a dance-off during O’Brien’s New York stop of his Legally Prohibited From Being Funny On TV Tour. One by one, Colbert and then Stewart, the latter dressed as “proud Mexican,” took the Radio City Music Hall stage to confront O’Brien, whose new late-night show on TBS will air directly against Stewart and Colbert’s Daily Show and Colbert Report on Comedy Central. The quality of the video is poor but there are a couple of gems in it. My favorite, when Stewart dies at the end, Colbert kneels next to him, whispering: “Jon, before you go… can I have 11 o’clock?” And keep an eye on the two backup singers onstage. They’re having quite a good time.

You think this crapola is FUNNY? Give me Jay Leno any time, a wholsome man who doesn’t resort to filth for a laugh. I strongly suggest that the “comedians” on this tape ask Jay for comedy lessons. Jerry Lewis is funny. Jay Leno is funny. These men are not.
Don’t get over-excited, Grandpa. For those of us that didn’t have our senior proms interrupted by news of the Marshall Plan, Jay is a quaint hack and the comedy trifecta mentioned above is where it’s at.
Dad, is that you?
I know it’s hard for you to understand, but those of us under 50 have different ideas of what is funny.
I’m somewhat, (59 cough, cough) over fifty and I can’t believe anyone could still find Jay to be anything but mildly amusing. Of the three masters of mirth in the video Stewart is my favorite but all three are effing great.
It appears these comedians genuinely like each other, regardless of their pending competitive time slots. And ISTR this is not the first time these three have riffed off of each other. And for the life of me, I simply cannot imagine Leno fitting in with any group of peers with such joyful abandon.
Jay Leno is old hat and only the very ancient think he’s funny. His funny stopped years ago!
I belong to the aged grey-haired set and just love Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert and watch faithfully. If I miss then at 11-12 pm, I can watch re-runs in the morning on The Comedy Network (Canadian version of Comedy Central). I never watched Conan on a regular basis, and will probably continue to do so, if we can get TBS in Canada.
All this back and forth about what people find funny and what people don’t find funny is just dumb. It’s called an OPINION. 90% of the comments of the 20,000 posts about Leno/Conan on here are just dumb back and forth comments about who is more funny. Get over it. It’s just an OPINION.
I was in the audience. To me, the hilarious thing about Art S.’s reaction to the “kiss” is that Colbert is, literally, a Roman Catholic Sunday school teacher, and Conan’s show is pretty much a nondenominational revival meeting.
Conan ended the show by signing The Weight, by The Band, which starts “I pulled into Nazareth, I was feelin’ about half past dead.”
I guess that was a subtle Dennis Hopper tribute, and the people who wrote “The Weight” say they didn’t mean for it to be religious, but, if you end your giant show in Radio City Music Hall by singing a song that starts with, “I pulled into Nazareth” and ends with, “put a load on me!”, that’s pretty religious.
I know what it is that keeps people loyal to Leno. That weird spot in his hair has them hypnotized. It enchants them with his mantra, “Jay is Funny, Jay is funny”. Reject his black magic and come over to the funny side with Darth Coco.
