A tribute to the unbelievable battle royale, from last night’s one-time crossover show, When Nerds Attack:
(h/t SotallyTober for the “ménage à awesome” description – perfect for this epic event!)
In case you need to re-watch, from a non-Comedy Central and non-NBC source:

Thanks so much for this—I missed last night’s shows. I think the bobby pin bit was my favorite, with the fighting turned dancing at the end of the last clip a close second. Loved the Huckabee cameo too.

Absolutely incredible fun! I loved it!
I don’t normally stay up late enough to see Conan, but I couldn’t resist — and I was glad I stayed up. :)

I’m looking forward to seeing Jon’s requested screencap of him standing taller than Conan on Stephen’s set…

Great fight scene or greatest fight scene?? The West Side Story finger-snapping assured me at the very beginning that it was going to be utterly fantastic, and it was! I also loved it when Stephen whipped out a roll of scotch tape to use as a “weapon”. LOL!!!

From the NYTimes:
“They made crude NBC passes out of clay and just walked right through,” [O'Brien] said of Mr. Colbert and Mr. Stewart, whose shows are on Comedy Central. “They said they were from the network affiliate in Ohio.”

Bahahaha, perfect description. Also, you gotta love that WristSTRONG bracelet Stephen was wearing (and of course it was on the arm he used to punch Conan with). I was wanting to watch these again, so a huge thank you for embedding videos from a non-Comedy Central/NBC source.

I would love to have the Leroy Neiman-type artwork they showed when they freeze-framed that shot above!

The fighting is similarly styled after the SWC episode “To be young, gifted, and blank” where Noblet and Jellineck fight with a Christmas tree, party decor, etc., using silly objects as weapons. it was so cute!

@gina24:
“And then you started wrestling!” (Okay, different context, but your comment made me think of it – and anything with Noblet and Jellineck is priceless.) : )

OMG- that was brilliant! I loved every second of it: West Side Story, singing, dancing, fighting, cursing, inhalers, etc. There were so many amazing parts that I couldn’t begin to name them. I was laughing throughout every clip. It made my week and provided me with the comedy I so badly needed after a rough weekend. Thanks Stephen, Jon, and Conan.
Thank you MS Interpreted for posting the videos.
My only complaint is that they could have taken off more clothes than they did during the segment on Stephen’s show.

One of the funniest fights I’ve ever seen! I’m glad I forced myself to stay awake for Conan even though I paid for it today.

Thanks for posting! I hadn’t seen the Conan clip before.
As others have mentioned, gotta love the West Side Story snaps and Stephen using Scotch tape as a weapon!
lol @ Eye of the Tiger! Genius.
Yes, OK I was also totally reminded of Strangers With Candy – the fighting with the Christmas tree and the last episode when they’re wrecking the school. Good times.
Ah, yes – and Huckabee, such a good sport.
