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.
Action!
The Daily Show may be smarter and funnier.…and The Colbert Report more cutting edge.
But The Onion News Network?
They’ve got action figures.
And not just dolls of the lead anchors like you might expect them to sell — even Stephen Colbert has one of those — but action figures for names that appear daily in their newscast…like ‘missing sorority girl,’ ‘trunk mom,’ and ‘noted author pundit doll.’
Awesome sauce.
It’s the quality you demand in your children’s action figures. They want to play with ripped-from-the headlines toys, and The Onion News Network is bringing them to their playrooms and sandboxes.
Here’s the commercial for the figures, but be warned. If your kids see it, they’ll want ‘em.
So be prepared…to take action!
