00:00This arrangement we have right now is exactly something we would have made fun of on The Daily Show.
00:06That's Jon Stewart, Samantha Bee, John Oliver, Ed Helms, and Rob Corddry joining Stephen Colbert
00:11for a Daily Show reunion on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Tuesday night.
00:16The episode opened with a reveal of Jon Stewart's new job,
00:19making large Italian sub sandwiches for current Daily Show host Trevor Noah.
00:23Later, Colbert put it into flashback to his last day at The Daily Show offices in summer 2005,
00:29where we saw the future Late Show host to be sporting a soul patch,
00:33first saying goodbye to a permed and sequined jacket wearing Samantha Bee.
00:37Rob Corddry, Ed Helms, and Jon Oliver all showed up in the past too.
00:41Then, Oliver found the guy who helped bring them all together in the first place.
00:45Oh, there we are.
00:48We've all been there, right? Late nights in the fridge, eating our weight in yogurt.
00:52No, just me. Stewart was also putting Trevor Noah's subs in there, right?
00:56Anyway, after the blast from the past reunion bit,
00:58Stewart sat down with Colbert to talk about Trump's firing of FBI director James Comey.
01:03Colbert chastised the crowd for having cheered for the news at first.
01:07Stewart compared this to people who first learned how to surf and catch a wave,
01:11only to fall in a heap.
01:12They didn't know how to feel, he said, and it was interesting to watch.
01:16The two also discussed what Stewart missed about hosting The Daily Show,
01:19Fox News host Bill O'Reilly's recent ouster,
01:22Colbert's language controversy,
01:24and the comparison between late-night comedians and leaders today, like Trump.
01:28We can insult. He can injure.
01:31Finally, all of The Daily Show alums came together center stage to have a group discussion you have to see.
01:37So make sure to go watch the full thing up now at THR.com.
01:40Guys, what's your take on The Daily Show team getting back together for a night?
01:43Let me know in the comments.
01:45For The Hollywood Reporter News, I'm Paul Gostabile, and I really want to sub now.
01:49John, he's not here. Bye.
