Jon Stewart And Stephen Colbert Barge Into Friday’s New York Conan Filming

Conan O’Brien was in New York City all week for special tapings of his show, and on Thursday he found a couple of celebrities had snuck into his audience. While addressing the crowd post-monologue, O’Brien turns, surprised, to find himself Jon Stewart in the audience, and when he has to leave to record The Daily Show, he finds the next person waiting on the standby line was none other than Stephen Colbert.

“It’s Jon Stewart!” O’Brien exclaimed when he looked out into the crowd and found the fake news anchor enjoying the show, showing off an obviously fake ticket to the show. “I won these in a baked ticket contest,” he joked, adding that O’Brien was missed in New York. While the pleasantries were appreciated, O’Brien had an important reminder for Stewart: “Shouldn’t you be doing The Daily Show right now?” Which made Stewart dart off out of the crowd, running to be on time for his own show.

With an empty seat, O’Brien calls in one of the people on the standby line, who happens to be Stephen Colbert, who walks in to cheers and brandishes a fake ticket of his own. “Found it on the sidewalk!” he joked. “People are just throwing them away, huh?” O’Brien had the same reminder for Colbert (“Don’t you have a show to do?”) but Colbert didn’t seem concerned. “I’ve got like 18 minutes, plenty of time,” Colbert noted. When notified he actually had 17 and not 18 minutes, however, he ran away, panicked.
