They're back like you've never seen them before... on a sectional couch! Everyone gets their own cushion when Stephen sits down with his former colleagues

[@worf7271]

The Daily Show was such an incredible incubator for talent.

[@JazGalaxy]

Khan Singh I don't know if it even was. I think it's that is so completely changed the landscape. That is to say, they changed the world to their kind of funny. Now every late night show is a mini daily show ripoff.

[@jevgenkova]

too bad that now it's an incubator for shitty jokes.

[@Zer0-0]

Khan Singh How can your name have Khan and Singh in it lmao?

[@SamuelHauptmannvanDam]

And now Trevor Noah, they are dumping em out. It goes to show that having a honest long term plan works out.

[@trutwijd]

I dunno, I still think the Daily Show has some pretty good talent, time will tell on whether or not they produce another John Oliver or Sam B, etc.

[@YTSliv]

Its a crime that it is not a 4 hour special.

[@gateauxq4604]

Would buy the 4 hour version, not kidding even a bit.

[@vybezD]

YTSliv comedy central should make their own news network, and give them all their own shows.

[@hogey74]

Where they start drinking at the 1 hour mark. Seriously, them getting liquored up would be fun to watch.

[@guthax30]

YTSliv no kidding...I'd be willing to pay 50 bucks on pay-per-view for this shit. I didn't even know this interview existed for 2 years 'cause i've been out of the news cycle.

[@s1ay3rgdr]

It's like watching an old superhero team get together again for old times sake

[@MOBROOKS]

Shadowdrs Exactly.

[@pow8408]

It's sweet, isn't it? Some may have had scheduling issues. Because if everyone was there, they'd need a bigger couch.

[@kappaross6124]

All the legendary pokemons in one cave.

[@SamuelHauptmannvanDam]

The Watchmen - after retirement. xD

[@JazGalaxy]

Tricking the clan with a bugs bunny routine is about the best possible story you could ever have.

[@cyanyah]

JazGalaxy "HAUL ASS!" killed me lmfao

[@angelofdarkness013]

JazGalaxy How is this not on a special did as a reunion special? I broke out laughing by the end bit. Who new that a trick like that works on people!? man I would have bought that did just to replay this piece besides holding a sort of daily show reunion! it's sad Steve carrell couldn't make it or it would have been golden.

[@angelofdarkness013]

Sage it's crazy! and by far the most funniest bit in these clips xD

[@crusheverything4449]

Stupid tricks fool stupid people

[@sanyamkhetarpal07]

this is like the real life avengers uniting together

[@guaposneeze]

Especially given that Stacy Greenrock-Woods and Vance Degeneres also don't get to be in the Avengers movies.

[@apicalmaristem]

Except there is no cheap attempt to capitalize on nostalgia with some hackneyed excuse for a storyline instead of having to think of anything original...and also no shitty comic book incarnations. Mind you my opinion does not include graphic novels like the amazing sin City, though you should probably already know that!!!

[@v.e2035]

[@miguelgordillo3257]

it's all john stewart. every one of those guys give thanks to him for his guidance. dude's just pure, raw talent. i wish he'd come back and produce at least one more comedy show, like he produced the colbert report.

[@snatchadams69]

SNL comes to mind so does In Living Color talent finds talent...

[@JaydevRaol]

Yeah

[@scorpiodynastyx6601]

Ahhh that explains Oliver's crooked nose 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@jordangardner3628]

I love SNL, but they have nothing on this cast.

[@libby8090]

I had never seen that piece before, I'm crying...

[@hectorcornejo1468]

Stephen's last story is basically the oldest trick in the book, "Look at that distraction over there!" OMG so hilarious lol

[@markagoodwin]

That Klan story is amazing lol

[@miriamspringett3797]

I know, that producer was the MVP of that story for sure :D

[@vinayakmitty]

Love how respectful Colbert is towards Stewart. Respect. Gratitude. Friendship.

[@jabalisearcot]

Yessss Finally I can die in peace. The biggest, best and brightest, all in one show, on one sofa.

Where's the part where they put the mind stone into the artificial body and bring to life Trevor Noah?

[@celticwolff5429]

Bravo.

[@reyskywaka3202]

Ryan Brezzell lmao

[@roveejohnallenmapanao1448]

go up lmao

[@MynameisBrianZX]

Nah man, they took Trevor's dad from him in South Africa at a young age, and Trevor came to the States for revenge (in a black cat suit for some reason) but everyone came to an understanding and now Trevor runs the show. Even keeps Jon Stewart in that cryogenic pod under some animal farm so Jon can use the rest of his diminished lifespan to do these bits.

[@marzellholbrook6130]

Ryan Brezzell the greatest comment ever made in the history of commenting

Wooooah me too!! It feels surreal.

[@jayjasperjp]

You can tell Stephen is holding back tears

[@MrSexydivas]

He's do dang proud

[@Kaempfdog]

Never thought tears could form so fast by simply watching a British man scream his head off and fall flat on his face 5 times.

[@shorisunagawa382]

So who still started #FireColbert???? Because Stephen is on fire

[@SuperSojourn]

I really, really didn't want this clip to end.

[@ricardo950535]

Had to be John "Milhouse" Oliver taking that goofy fall. Hahahaha

[@MOBROOKS]

I will forever love STEW BEEF!!! He may be gone but he groomed 3 great warriors in Samantha Bee, Colbert, and John Oliver who took up the mantle and are still fighting the good fight!! Keep givin those lying bastards hell brothers and sisters!!

[@high_surv]

he basically created the political comedy news genre. It's dominated by his mentees now. Don't forget Trevor Noah too.

[@eldadmaster]

Let's forget him. He ruined the show. Notice how he wasn't invited, presumably because he defiled everything Stewart stood for. Noah's show isn't political comedy it's propaganda. John Stewart was (is) an outspoken liberal and democrat, but he was always trying to reach out to the other side, to bring Americans together; Trevor is just about divisiveness, he's the face of current America where (regardless which side you're on) anyone who has an opposite political leanings is wrong and stupid and an enemy of the state. John often brought republican politicians and media people to confront them head on, with an attitude of mutual respect; do you think Trevor would ever entertain the idea of allowing republicans to appear on his show, to allow them to explain their positions? Of course not because he's the representative of a generation that made "social justice warriors" into an insult, of hypocrites that believe "freedom of speech" should only apply to them...

[@DarkOneRRp]

Trevor's guests include Christ Christie, Rand Paul, Lindsey Graham, Ben Carson and Tomi Lahren. Watch the episodes with them in it to see if it was handled as a one sided slugfest

[@ballsack6470]

No one cares about Trevor Noah.

[@ballsack6470]

Either that or he doesn't have low standards. But it's cool that you found a fellow moron to make you laugh.

[@enricod.9372]

I love SNL, but they have nothing on this cast.

Aw, it's like a father reuniting with his children... So sweet ^__^

John Oliver is such a gift

[@MMLEW95]

How am I just now finding this?!!?!?????? This is golden!!!!!! We need this to happen every week

[@TangiersIntrigue]

Jason Jones, Aasif Mandvi, Kristen Schaal, Jordan Klepper... Such an amazing and talented team that gave us some of the best moments in comedy.

John Oliver's bit on the Civil War was a classic.

"I had to flee the klan one time" lmfaoooooo gotta love Colbert

[@TJandFriends]

YES!! Reliving my late teen and early 20's all over again!!

So many laughs were given to me by you guys, THANK YOU!!

[@seattleite6631]

Steve Carell is missing of course

[@davidnichols5761]

Stephen, thank you for this so much! And if Jon won't come on TV because it's the right thing to do, you bring him on your show as many times as possible!

Not only was/is this one of the funniest shows ever, it is somehow also a great tool for protecting democracy. Comedy is a great equalizer!

[@robinlillian9471]

Stewart and the Daily Show sure knew how to hire talented people.

[@SamanthaRichardsonWP]

Hats off to Stephen's Comedy Central producer! Taking on the Klan when Stephen was too afraid to think on his feet :P

[@grannybntnsouthernlove2205]

I love these guys they are my favorite way to learn the news! After these stories I know why I admire them! They do what it takes to get the story then give it to us in a way we can swallow it and hopefully change the world in ways that otherwise couldn't be presented...

Oh look, Jon's kids!

[@MuyenKamran1nehal]

Colbert, Stewart and Oliver all in one video. Fuck yes

[@bernlin2000]

I remember a John Oliver England piece that made me love him as a correspondent instantly.

[@nina9346]

Oh no that's so sad!

[@Acepilot12345]

That is odd, they love each other.....hmm

[@squreshi8413]

I read somewhere that Jon Stewart was thinking of doing something on HBO. They would probably dump Oliver in a second to get Stewart. I'm sure there would be tension at just the thought of something like that happening (even tho i don't think it will). There is always behind the scenes drama in showbiz bc there is only so much air time to go around

[@RealTalkWithSSG]

Or maybe they greeted each other before; he didn't greet Samantha Bee, Ed Helms or the bald guy either.

[@ChrisBrengel]

"Haul ass!" LMAO!

[@cybertron50]

It's all about Jon and John for me !!

[@junek9913]

omg john oliver falling over made me die laughing, oh my god... i mean normally comedy pratfalls aren't that great but heeeeeshe

[@daftrhetoric]

Oh my god, if they did a morning show I would start waking up to watch it.

[@nataliabaage]

The part with John Oliver had me bust out laughing! 👍❤

[@ArnoldPranks]

For those hating on Trevor Noah or Hasan Minhaj.....these guys were funny and satirical, AND the new cats are funny and thought-provoking. Welcome to 2017.

[@luningningwigg6733]

They are bunch of guys with great sense of humour

[@perfectlyMessy]

This is over half of Trump's biggest critics in the same video. Tributes assemble! Amazing that Comedy Central let them show those old footages :)

[@Mr_Elusive763]

the daily show produced so much talent

[@dmcken4671]

"HAUL ASS" Omg, I figuratively died 😂😂😂

[@jerseydevs2000]

Much as I do like the current, diverse Daily Show cast, the correspondents during the Jon Stewart years were like original SNL in terms of talent. They were older Gen Xers who pushed the boundaries and forged a new genre.

[@1234eldibu]

You just know Colbert is LEGEND at Comedy Central! That Klan story is epic

[@TheAmityElf]

Never thought a Klan story would make me laugh, but man...

[@theerickstone]

This could have been two hours, and I would gladly have been late to work

[@RobbyBesch]

"The president is on the other side of the field, go talk to him" "WE WILL" omg I'm crying!

[@CoachingHigher]

I love all of these people dearly. Wits and personality at their best... TV at its best!

[@AsianOreoYo]

holy shit stephen! That last story was 2 brain cells away fron being a very not happy ending. Im glad everyone was safe

[@mooniejohnson]

Poor Oliver... everyone else's field pieces were just awkward (in a good way!), but he had physical injury as his field piece clip.

[@GamerX000000]

I could watch hours of this kind of storytelling.

[@beatrizmonteiro658]

That's wonderful! Love you guys. I'm a super fan. Year after year after year. Miss you all. What a treat to see you together.

AVENGERS ASSEMBLE

[@ThatsABitPersonal]

Comparing these guys to the Avengers doesn’t do them justice, these legends are more like the Looney Tunes. Clever chaotic tricksters whose opposers never stand a chance, yet so iconic and hilarious that even their oldest comedy bits are still funny to this day.

[@killaxero86]

Only one missing was Mr Big Hollywood Steve Carell. Sad we couldn't get another "Even Stevens" skit.

[@demon515]

I lost it at the haul ass bit, lol

[@FragginCap]

Thing to understand is in the late 90s as a teen, approaching the news was like interacting with a different language. The news just expected you to know in depth things as they talked to the camera. So a teen found it really hard to get into current events and start being adult. And here comes this show that shows you stuff that is in some way serious and is completely ok with you laughing at the worlds ridiculous and laughs right with you. It showed you and therefore educated you that,"These people lie, some are crazy, and you will have to wade through this. Here's what's going on in normal speak, and how you make sense of it" The only thing you can do is laugh and press on trying to be informed." I really think this team DEFINED how a generation looked at some of the serious things going on in the world and how we'd react to it. It wasn't,"Adults lie lets just not grow up." It became, "Adults are insane we need to start watching every piece of BS they throw at each other and call them on it" So you now have a lot of reporting shows that take time to give you the knowledge set up before they give you the situation update. I know it's still a comedy show, but John Oliver is great at that. His show educates you for a good 5-10 minutes before it gets to the week in news. And you can see it repeated with Anderson Cooper, Rachel Madow, and even Fox to a point. They at the least will tell you about previous coverage. This all started with these guys. The comedy show is the purest sane form of news you can get. Just go watch a stand up show.
