Who Created Huckabee?
As I said earlier this week, I was in the audience for Late Night with Conan O’Brien this past Monday when Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert showed up at NBC. This got me thinking about who really did create Huckabee. Now, I will be the first to say that I am not a big fan of Huckabee but I find this tiff between Conan and the Comedy Central goons pretty amusing.
If you think about it, the feud began when Conan claimed he created Huckabee because of Conan’s use of the Chuck Norris Lever on his show. Chuck Norris supports Huckabee ergo Conan created Huckabee. A valid argument but then Colbert stuck back. Colbert claimed he created Huckabee and then threatened Conan that he would come over to NBC and kick his translucent white ass. Conan retaliated claiming his ass is not translucent but white with pink streaks. (haha!) Conan then ,made fun of Colbert by being French and stating that Colbert is the temporary host of The Colbert Report. He also said that he made Colbert by just showing a Comedy Central clip on his all-powerful network TV show.
This remark didn’t sit well with Colbert and he got his Comedy Central buddy, Jon Stewart to assist Colbert in his fight for Huckabee. Jon Stewart brought some “Evidence” that was quite intriguing. Jon Stewart had a show on MTV back in the early 1990s and Conan O’Brien was just starting out as host on Late Night when he was a guest on Stewart’s show. This was supposed to end the feud. Little did I know that this feud would spill over and Conan would call out the two on his show this past Monday.
Conan was sitting at his desk and stated that he actually created Stewart and Colbert by bringing them into the world by showing a picture of Conan delivering two babies, one with Colbert’s head and the other with Stewart’s head. Conan said that it did make him about 80 years old but that claim should end the bitter feud between the late night comedy hosts. Too bad that it didn’t and Conan claimed that he would in fact kick some Comedy Central ass if he saw either one.
The door opened and Colbert entered then two seconds later Stewart walked into the studio. I didn’t think Stewart had a chance because Conan is a giant Irishman and Stewart is about 4ft tall. Conan, outraged (as he should be) that the two came onto his turf. He then grabbed a baseball bat and all three marched into the hallway outside the Late Night studio and began beating the crap out of eachother.
The fight lasted a good while with Conan following Stewart and Colbert with a blow torch. Stewart was thrown down a flight of stairs. Conan was launched through boxes onto a carefully place gymnastic mat. It was a bitter fight but at the very end there is no declared winner. Huckabee then shows up on the monitors and delivers a message that this great nation created him not the Late Night hosts. Well, my defense is that I wouldn’t even know who Huckabee was if it wasn’t for the Late Night comedy host, Conan O’Brien.
My claim is that Conan, indeed created Huckabee because he does have the “all mighty network show”. I don’t really watch the news so I must say that Colbert and Stewart did assist Conan in the creation of Huckabee. If it wasn’t for this fued the American people (well, the college students that stay awake to watch Conan) wouldn’t even know who Huckabee was. I am not voting for Huckabee. But the mere creation of his campaign is because of Conan using the Chuck Norris lever. Simple as that. Conan is winner in my eyes. Congrats Conan.
