I'm with you. This was planned out. This is actually the conversation they had on the ski lift and hill. Conan: "I'm going to yell, 'Tora, tora, tora'." That way, you can swear I said it. And we'll just act like I'm a freak and you're am arrogant asshole. And NO ONE will know what to believe." I'm laying odds a bottle of wine was involved too. Absolutely brilliant. I also have money that says it was originally Conan's idea.
@@fifthhoven bruh……. If you believe anything Steven said then that’s SAD!!!! The argument isn’t against republicans and democrats, it’s just based on rationality. You want a government but you do t want the government to touch you, but your fine with them touching other people who are citizens and literally torturing them in Guantanamo Bay where the lawsuit is still active when it happened under BUSH!!! That is how we know that you people have no idea what you’re talking about.
Anthony Jeselnik tells this story about when he worked with Norm Macdonald on Last Comic Standing, they agreed to shit on each other in the media as a running joke to hype up the show. So Anthony went and did that, but Norm never did and Anthony just came off as an asshole (classic Norm). This skiing story kind of reminds me of that except they both delivered on shitting on each other.
If anyone's curious about what actually happened, they talked about it on Conan's podcast (around two-ish years prior to these recordings). According to that telling, after everyone told them about each other being there, their families spent the day together, skiing and later getting something to eat
they all shat on the suckers bud 😘😉 take a few steps back, and enjoy the real art of humor: keep your humanity, don't be too quick to take sides via media spoofs 🌟 just appreciate the goofs & laughs
Exactly. Reality is often far more mundane. Conan & Colbert probably rode a lift up together, and one of them commented on how the chairlift’s bright blue paint was peeling away and the older orange-brown paint from the 80s was showing and it looked like a big shit mark, and the rest is fiction.
Bruh, learn to tell when someone is telling a lie. They crack up at their own jokes to try and bide time, guess which one did that. Guess which one is just making up stories for his increasingly right wing audience.
I’ve never seen two people be so blatantly liberal with the term “true”. All I know for sure about this story is that Conan and Stephen ran into each other at a ski resort and that’s it
These people are comedians, writers, entertainers. These people are not required to tell the truth, they are required to tell an amusing annectdote to make both the interviewer and the audience laugh.
See, having watched Conan since I was a pre-teen, I knew that his story wasn't true because he was describing Conan as the character Conan creates for himself, not as the genuine guy.
I would love to know what actually happened. My guess is they just crossed paths, greeted each other, spent like 5m together and moved on. Later on, after TMZ or some tabloid reported that they had been seen together, and people were fascinated and wanted to know more, they each decided to give the public what it desired: a confirmation and an entertaining tale detailing the supposed encounter.
I honestly think it's as simple as they really did meet skiing. Then they both decided it would be hilarious if they'd go on a podcast and just improv a wild story about their time, as they both just seem to be winging it.
This is a true story. The events described took place on a ski trip in Deer Valley. At request of the survivors, the names have been changed. Out of respect for the dead, the rest has been told exactly as it occurred. *bell sounds*
You die and you meet an angel comedian and a demon comedian guarding the gates to heaven and he'll. One always lies and one of them always tell the truth... What one question do you ask to figure out which is which? Answer: if I were to ask the other guy if he suits on kids what would he say?
They definitely collaborated on this story. They were both writers on The Simpsons. You know the story isn't true when Colbert says his kids were Leno fans.
It might have been the whole Conan O Brien defecating on a group of children that gave me a red flag about the story’s truthfulness but idk that’s just me
@@Matt_19-89 Lmfao. I mean you're right about him not being a writer for The Simpsons, but entirely wrong about his legacy. I mean it's totally fine to not be a fan, but he's had a great career and he was political well before Trump. He even based a show around satirizing the right wing punditry that helped give rise to Trump.
I swear to god, if Conan read the idiotic comments from his fanboys here, he would pray for a swift death. He and Colbert are friends and this routine is in good fun. They have different styles, and it's fine to prefer one or the other, but you don't have to hate the other guy just because he's not your guy. They're both brilliant comics.
@@jennifermcgoldrick6323 Colbert is criticised for 'becoming political', as if he wasn't always. Look at any Norm Macdonald video that mentions Colbert (or Seth Meyers) and get your daily dose of salt.
Both are doing unbelievable improv, it really is a beautiful thing (Steven is a comedy genius, "tora tora tora" is what the Japanese used as code for pearl harbour to say "total surprise" If conan did that he is one of a kind)
I don't know know how much is true, but based on his remotes, I can totally see Conan skiing with a helmet the color of his hair and Andy's face stitched on the back of his jacket.
Both of these guys having been writing comedy for a *long time* so you know that neither story is completely true. They're very likely less than 40% true each.
Just to clarify, both of these interviews are from Smartless. Conan was interviewed first and made up this version of the story (they happened to be at a resort at the same time). I think Colbert must have heard Conan’s version then made up his own to get him back. Conan is the MVP. Always.
oh my god this made me laugh harder than anything else ive watched this week. dont know why yall see the need to insult either one of them. they're both hilarious in this.
From memory, Conan found out Colbert had told the story about him shitting on the kids when someone stopped him in the street and asked if it was true.
I need a location and an action. Anyone? Yeah, I think heard "ski resort" and "shitting". Okay, Improvateers, ski resort and shitting. Got it? Aaaaand… GO!
yep, they definitely said to each other "if we tell this story, we tell two different versions so that no one knows who is lying"
There you go, a relevant, comedic comment. Instead of the other petty trash and ideological hypocrisy.
I'm with you. This was planned out. This is actually the conversation they had on the ski lift and hill. Conan: "I'm going to yell, 'Tora, tora, tora'." That way, you can swear I said it.

@@ThePlaySpace-CurtainCall so you personally think Conan is EXACTLY how he is on the show; which means you don’t know what acting is.
That has GOT to be the case lol
The way Conan self depricates himself and Stephen just insults Conan LMAO
That's why Conan's the best! So much integrity.
Says a lot about their personalities (why Conan is far more likeable)
Conan wouldn’t have it any other way. His tv persona depends on everyone “hating” him because that’s the energy he feeds on.
@@CharlieQuartz I think he genuinely is a more humble guy as well though
And in both versions, I thought Conan was hilarious
Neither side is true, but it does sound like they came up with the bit while riding ski lift
Prove it
Best theory about Skigate so far.
It's a boss ass bit. Thups to the ski lift 🤘🤘👍

Thanks, I knew there was since truth to it, but obviously this is played up. Even then u winner if you got the full truth

Wait so who shit themselves though?

Plot twist: both stories are 100% true they’re just telling stories about two different ski trips
These are two completely separate events that are both just coincidentally involving each man taking a shit on a ski trip
Bruh, learn to tell when someone is telling a lie. They crack up at their own jokes to try and bide time, guess which one did that. Guess which one is just making up stories for his increasingly right wing audience.

😂 Good theory! 😂

As with every comedians tale
These people are comedians, writers, entertainers. These people are not required to tell the truth, they are required to tell an amusing annectdote to make both the interviewer and the audience laugh.
“Bright orange shit” Is sufficient enough to tell immediately the story is just for laughs
Republican puppet
did not expect to see you here
Conan: "Stephen freaked out and shit came out of his ass"
Colbert: "Conan freaked out and and shit came out of his ass"
I actually thought Colbert's story was true up until the point where Conan started shitting lmao
"Tora tora tora" lmao
That was the hilarious part 🤪😂🤣
See, having watched Conan since I was a pre-teen, I knew that his story wasn't true because he was describing Conan as the character Conan creates for himself, not as the genuine guy.
@@GardEngebretsen Can you explain this to me? Is it a reference to something?
@@GardEngebretsen that does sound like what conan would shout before shitting on someone to be fair
Colbert insulting Conan is literally just collaborating with Conan's brand.
they’re friends dawg it’s a joke
@@oak7741 I believe that's exactly what this person is saying.
I feel like Colbert always has this very subtle defensiveness/hostility with Conan.
The difference between telling a story comedically (Conan) and telling jokes via a story (Colbert).
I like both ways. I also like both shows. They are completely different people, but I like both shows.
I would love to know what actually happened. My guess is they just crossed paths, greeted each other, spent like 5m together and moved on.

They are both improvising ridiculous, over the top stories just for the laughs.
@@paoloadam There must have really been shit somewhere too since their tales both mentioned it.
"Tora! Tora! Tora!" that's the funniest fucking thing I've heard all year
Loved that they did this to eachother.
Comedian sibling rivalry.
This is like a modern day replacement of the old Aristocrats joke. I want to hear more comedians telling this story.
Old aristocrats joke? Care to elucidate??
@@boedye en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Aristocrats
No
@@krisandres2011 Cool, thanks! Those old jokes and gags were so well thought out. Kind of like "Whose of First". I miss good comedy!
Thank you! Big aristocrats vibes
From all of this information, we can surmise that Conan O’Brien and Steven Colbert did in fact go skiing together
100% true.
i think they went shitting together, maybe curry
"tall belgian woman who looks like me" killed me
This is a true story. The events described took place on a ski trip in Deer Valley. At request of the survivors, the names have been changed. Out of respect for the dead, the rest has been told exactly as it occurred. *bell sounds*
Colbert brings the chuckles, Conan brings genuine laughter.
I lost it at “Tora, tora, tora!” And sparkling the kids in “Cheeto dust!” 😂🤣😂
I absolutely love the way they took us on this ride differently!
I love that this is just two friends completely talking shit about each other. Beautiful.
Imagine thinking Stephen Colbert has friends.
@@georgial6398 has more than you that's for sure
_Literally_ talking shit about each other, too.
To find out the truth, you have to ask one of them what the other would say the real version is
Haha yeah, because they fear the implication of someone calling their bs in public
@@JerryBisMe nah cause we're trying to get through the door which has the ski lift on the other side
You die and you meet an angel comedian and a demon comedian guarding the gates to heaven and he'll. One always lies and one of them always tell the truth... What one question do you ask to figure out which is which?
Answer: if I were to ask the other guy if he suits on kids what would he say?
“I’ve got some post for God… and it needs to be signed.”
@@fenhen brilliant, karl
They're just straight up roasting each other - no attempt to be factually accurate was made nor intended.
Conan is absolutely amazing.
Conan forever.
I'm just happy these two are still out there giving incredible content. The best around. 🙂
Great editing. This is hilarious!
They definitely collaborated on this story. They were both writers on The Simpsons. You know the story isn't true when Colbert says his kids were Leno fans.
Colbert was never a writer on The Simpsons, no.
Conan wrote 2 seasons for the Simpsons, yes

I love ‘em both.
I'm listening to this to help me sleep. I listen to it whenever I need to feel better! I want, no, NEED more!
Gosh, it's been years and years and years since I last saw this side of Colbert. Making me nostalgic for the early 2000's.
yeah where he is actually funny
@@Kilo_of_Milk the only people who say that about him are cultists.
@@Taijifufu nah, he's got a point. Colbert hasn't gotten a single laugh out of me since he took over the late show.
@@mongoose1billion He's way funnier. Just say that you don't like him politically.
I would love to hear Conan go "TORA TORA TORA"
My life will be complete
this is too good 😂 , literally the definition of "completely differently"
This is amazing. They're both hilarious.
I swear to god, if Conan read the idiotic comments from his fanboys here, he would pray for a swift death. He and Colbert are friends and this routine is in good fun.
They have different styles, and it's fine to prefer one or the other, but you don't have to hate the other guy just because he's not your guy. They're both brilliant comics.
This.

It is very obviously a routine, yes, thank you.
As a huge Conan fan, I completely agree.
Both are doing unbelievable improv, it really is a beautiful thing
(Steven is a comedy genius, "tora tora tora" is what the Japanese used as code for pearl harbour to say "total surprise"
If conan did that he is one of a kind)
I didn't know this and now I'm laughing all over again.
its also a very famous movie....
Here I thought it was the incredibly Irish man saying Torah, Torah, Torah.
"too late, sounds like you're daring me" 🤣🤣🤣
The "Tora, Tora, Tora," got me 🤣
I don't know know how much is true, but based on his remotes, I can totally see Conan skiing with a helmet the color of his hair and Andy's face stitched on the back of his jacket.
Haha! They’re both my favorite.
And that's why people love Conan
Stories aside, the marriage of these graphics together, just 😚👌
Addicted to this podcast
Thanks for the great laughs
A vid of Conan and Colbert talking and Bateman and Arnett reacting? Yes please
I’m not sure if this is a fascinating study into the nature of memory, or a lesson in not taking comedians stories too seriously.
Both of these guys having been writing comedy for a *long time* so you know that neither story is completely true. They're very likely less than 40% true each.

Wow... very elaborate story telling...
Colbert story is much more involved and insane and structured, because he built it from the first story
Conan has the humor of a teen and its so funny
This is just how comedians talk, this is great thank you, lol sounds like me and the guys when we're goofing around.
This should be in the archives!
Get ME a stretcher, cuz this skit has me needing stitches
this sounds like my parents when they tell everyone how they met.
oh my god this made me laugh harder than anything else ive watched this week. dont know why yall see the need to insult either one of them. they're both hilarious in this.
Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, and James Cordon are not on their level.
Well only 5% less
From memory, Conan found out Colbert had told the story about him shitting on the kids when someone stopped him in the street and asked if it was true.
"Tora Tora Tora" 😂
Good thing they're friends, imagine if they hated each other, the stories they would tell.
TORA TORA TORA IS SO MESSED UP! LMAO
They talked about this together on Conan’s podcast
They are just having fun.
I need a location and an action. Anyone? Yeah, I think heard "ski resort" and "shitting". Okay, Improvateers, ski resort and shitting. Got it? Aaaaand… GO!
I love both of those stories - and I can totally relate to both of them. I wonder, what happened.
What is this?! 😂😂 This was the funniest shit ever
Colbert and Conan went on a ski lift together, something-something, The Aristocrats!
Thank you and good night!
Conan vs Colbert? Ha, nothing beats Conan.
LMAOO this is great
It's like dueling Aristocrats
whenever someone says "100% true" you know it's a lie. :D
or a great joke.
Plot twist: This is 2 separate incidents.
Damn. In in alternate universe, we would still have a Tonight Show with Conan and a Late Show with Colbert at the same time.
i know that’s will arnett but every time he talks my brain just keeps picturing conan sitting next bojack horseman
Awe, man... I want a ski puffer with Andy sew on the back too!!!
"thats fresh shit" ,🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Conan is the MVP!🏆
Conan poops orange 😂😂😂 I'd like to think Conan only eats orange foods as a matter of principle
Conan and Colbert tell the same story completely differently....
....except Pizza, French Fries, Pizza French Fries
Colberts my Mom telling a story.
That was great.
Genius
Absolutely true.
Seems like a Mr. Show sketch
Rashomon, but with court jesters
I love the fact that Stephen roasts Conan in Stephen's story and Conan roasts Conan in Conan's story. Absolute Chad.
Sounds like a wrestling shoot interview.
What are the odds of *both* of them including poop humour, in their stories?
Seems like p=1 here bub!
Conan is so much better than his fans in the comments
Bruh wth is Will Arnet doin in this hes just goin along with it
CONAN
I’d spot that shriveled up ear of Colbert’s from a mile away
This video proves they both deserve the title king of late night.
their our there reely our
@@marfaxa what
Isn't that the horse from horsin' around?
Tora! Tora! Tora! 😅😅😅
You have to listen to Colbert's version straight through. It is hilarious.
that would be a difficult case for that jury, amber should learn from this
I'll go with Conan's
i saw conan in park city in a restaurant called riverhorse, maybe it was around this time, but i was too afraid to say hi :(
If you'd waved, would he have seen you?
priceless
At 00:18 Conan sounds like Trunks hahah
