So with the writer's strike going on, you may have stopped watching the late night comedy shows such as the Daily Show or Conan, but I still think hosts such as Conan O’Brien, Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart have been able to pull off their shows despite their empty teleprompters as witnessed by this bit from Monday late night comedy...


Late-night hosts feud over Huckabee
By Jake Coyle, THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

"The trio appeared on each other's late-night TV shows Monday in a mock feud over who "made" Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee.

The fight began weeks ago, when O'Brien claimed responsibility for any success of Huckabee's campaign after the former Arkansas governor appeared on his "Late Night" show. Colbert took offence, having frequently touted the effect of the "Colbert bump" in the polls.

Debating - as Colbert called it - the "transitive property of Huckabee," Stewart was eventually roped in, having hosted O'Brien on his MTV program "The Jon Stewart Show" in 1994.

And after too many slights (O'Brien called Colbert the "temporary host" of "The Colbert Report"), the trio congregated Monday, roaming across three shows and two networks.

Eventually, blowtorches, bricks, stunt doubles and even a little dancing were employed."
