Klassic Kolbert: “The word ‘incredible’ is apt”

I know I’m not alone in eagerly awaiting Steve Carell’s inaugural visit to The Colbert Report; it’s really been too long since I last saw those two men share a television screen. They really shouldn’t let things go so long as that!

Anyhow, I’m whetting my appetite for the show at present by recalling favorite appearances from yesteryear, and I thought I’d repost one of the more obscure ones here, for those of you who may have missed it before (or who just wanted an excuse to watch it again). Please enjoy this Steve Carell and Stephen Colbert duet from 2001′s Steve Carell Salutes Steve Carell, hosted by Steve Carell (and sorry again for the video quality; I never did manage to find a cleaner clip).

    This song will now be stuck in my brain for the rest of the day…and i do not mind one bit! I’ve watched this clip (and listened to the mp3) far more times than can be considered healthy, and i’ve never not laughed. The bit you quoted slays me every single time. That whole show is so dark and twisted and genius. (I’ll stop before the superlatives get out of hand.)

      Hey, magdalena! Keep going: out of hand superlatives are apt.

      And I agree – I have never not laughed out loud at that clip.

      You have the mp3? I was just about to comment wondering why there hasn’t BEEN an mp3 of it! I am clearly clueless. :P

    LOL … they sing so well, and so well together, and them in formal bow tie and tux ain’t hard on the eyes either. Surely wish there was a link to the whole event out there.

    According to the IMDb page on this, Allison Silverman was the writer and Madeleine Smithberg & Lizz Winstead were the creators … another fine example of women it-getters!!

    Thx, Ms!

    I hope that Steve has walk ons and stuff like Steve Martin or Jeff Goldblum.
    These 2 feed off of each other so well. I have been waiting in anticipation of the show all day.
    I love the clip, by the way, one of my favs.

    Wow, I haven’t seen this! And, I love it! I cannot wait for tonight – I do hope Steve does something special. But it’s a pretty sure thing that he will…. right? Thanks for posting this! And I wouldn’t mind some more clips of Stephen and Steve. :)
