Put ‘em up

If you’re a fan of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon or The Colbert Report (or both), you know the two hosts are in the middle of a feud that threatens their ‘six-month friendship.’

Colbert has slammed Fallon for using a photo of his recent appearance on Late Night in Emmy promotional materials, when the two hosts compete in the same category.  Colbert even took Fallon to task in a spoof of his “Thank You Notes” segment, which is now a New York Times best-selling book.

Fallon responded to Colbert’s accusations last night on Late Night, doing a little spoofing of his own. Here’s how it all went down:

I love this.

Kudos to Stephen Colbert for seeing an opportunity to create some late night mischief, and to Jimmy Fallon for lobbing the ball right back at him.  I hope the two keep this ‘feud’ going throughout the Emmy nomination process, the awards show and beyond.

With a fight this good, they might just have a chance at snatching that Emmy away from Jon Stewart.

You know…it kinda makes The Sticky Egg wanna get into a feud with another blog.  Gonna start looking around today.

I’m itching for a fake fight myself.
