Stephen Colbert hosts comedy night with Conan O'Brien in Newark

Things are not always easy in New Jersey; we could all use a laugh. Who better to give it to you than a Jersey guy and one of the comedic G.O.A.T.s, Conan O’Brien?

Stephen Colbert, the Montclair resident and popular host of The Late Show, will host An Evening with Conan O’Brien and Stephen Colbert as part of the Montclair Film fundraiser happening this December.

Conan will join Colbert on stage at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark, NJ, on Sunday, Dec. 7, 2025.

Late-night talk show hosts join forces for a night of comedy

According to Montclair Film’s website, the comedians will “sit down for an unforgettable evening of conversation celebrating Mr. O’Brien’s career as one of our leading comic minds.”

On a selfish note, I hope that at some point, they talk about how Conan wrote one of the most iconic episodes of one of my favorite shows: The Simpsons. For those who don’t know, he wrote the episode ‘Marge vs. the Monorail.’ A classic.
