There is something special, when two old friends come together in love of comedy & respect for each other. Joy is born out of the union.

[@lukerichardson2404]

He truly is a master of comedy. I found it particularly hilarious when this Pfizer-funded show had him dancing with vaccines for several minutes

[@jeaniebottle6758]

@@lukerichardson2404 Vaccines can be good for health, making vast prophets from life saving medicine & using some of that to fund propaganda & influence, not good.

[@leslieortenzi8875]

Sounds like a book title that would get banned -- Joy Has Two Dads! 🤭 Sorry Snarky, childish jokes aside, I really like your comment and AGREE. Collaborations (even just a conversation, as in this case) between great talents can be so satisfying on different levels and the fact that these two are friends gives it the lift of genuineness and affection that is so rare!

Their friendship is so precious! I would watch the hell out an Odd Couple with those two.

[@sparkythancztwise]

And with Stewart as Oscar, it'd be heaven.

[@SizzleMoonSong]

I love how much they love one another. Real friends are the best.

[@cumincalamity9867]

gotta say... that idea about the Odd Couple with Jon Stewart sounds amazing.

[@Daluna13]

I think its him, John Stewart and John Oliver that are the ones who make Steven the most relaxed

[@mariantopham6907]

I love that they are genuinely so happy to see each other. EVERY TIME.

After 50 it's a pretty fast trip!!! 😂😂😂😀😀😀😀😀. On the sunny side of 100! Happy Birthday Stephen Colbert!!

[@gabrielmcsherry7060]

Steve Carell in Foxcatcher… never in my life have i seen such an acting transformation. He doesnt get close to enough credit for that role

[@karenkrolak4714]

I feel the same way about his work in Tour De Farce at Wisdom Bridge.

[@tomsenft7434]

So interesting! Thanks for your insight. I was moved by his role in "Beautiful Boy."

[@charlie-obrien]

Steve Carrell could have made a full and prosperous career out just making "The Office" and "40 Year old Virgin" knock offs for the rest of his life, but he has made some very interesting and brave choices with the films and now Broadway roles.

It really is great actually growing old with these guys. Not just those 2 but their whole little comedy clique. It feels like we all went to school together...even though they were adults when I was in high school. Lol

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can we will this into existence!?!

[@melanies.6030]

I know the Stevphens wouldn't break, but I just can't imagine Jon not cracking up and losing it on stage with these 2.

Amy and Tina as The Odd Couple. The Stephen/Steven as the Pigeons.

Yes! Neil Simon actually wrote a flipped gender version in the 80s so it could be done!

[@AndrewJohnson-oy8oj]

Now I really want to see them do the Odd Couple together!

[@jonathananonymouse7685]

I would fly or even DRIVE to New York in order to see that play. That is a once-in-a-lifetime event right there!

Steve Carell is looking great for a guy in his 60's.

[@nopenope5042]

I notice you left Colbert out 😂.

I love their reunions. It's effortless between them. "Relevant to our present human heart..."- Stephen

[@HRHDMKYT]

I know Steve Carell & his wife made a deal they would each take turns staying at home raising their children while the other got to ply their trade at acting gigs, but I am so grateful that Nancy didn’t force him to fulfill his side of the bargain. She sacrificed her own chance at fame and career so his star could continue to shine. I thank her for her sacrifice, it was a great gift to the world of Carell fandom ❤

[@rikkiechambers4959]

The introduction of a true friend .. you know him because he’s Steve Carell ❤ lovely to watch friends hang out .

[@chef443]

As a kid who grew up watching the Odd Couple, and so many classic tv shows, these 2 could definitely make it work. And I bet they would enjoy surprising people by each of them taking the less than obvious role. Neither of them are either of those characters, They seem very similar as people and friends, but I would definitely love to see it done....so when he said "we both play Felix" I died laughing! :)
