Upping the ante for late night shows in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, Stephen Colbert and Conan O’Brien joined forces on Tuesday night for a virtual crossover episode of both The Late Show and Conan.
Colbert, 55, and O’Brien, 56, have appeared on each other’s shows a plethora of times in the last few decades, often exchanging banter in keeping with the playful rivalry between their shows.
Thanks to modern technology — online video call — the veteran TV hosts were able to bounce their quick wits off of each other once again during quarantine.
Relinquishing control of the Late Show portion of the interview, O’Brien said, “Well, I’m thrilled, because my next guest… is one of my 11 favourite late night hosts.
