Ah, the summer of ‘05.
Things sure were a lot simpler back then: soul patches and trucker hats were in style, George W. Bush was president, and Jon Stewart‘s all-star Daily Show team was still in tact.
Thankfully, Stephen Colbert gave us a much needed walk down memory lane on Tuesday’s Late Show by reuniting the original Comedy Central news squad!
After an opening bit featuring Stewart and Colbert being ordered around by Trevor Noah, the CBS host drifted off into a star studded flashback to his last day at the Daily Show offices in summer of 2005.

In the sketch, Colbert was joined by fellow correspondents Samantha Bee, Ed Helms, Rob Corddry, and Steve Carell (played by John Oliver, because Carell was unavailable) — who were all fighting over who got Colbert’s offices once he left.
Stewart, who was caught in the staff refrigerator emotionally eating their yogurt, then popped out to congratulate his team on “spreading their wings” before they launched their pre-show prayer: “Go liberal agenda!”
Ha! Ch-ch-check it out (below)!
But the fun didn’t stop there!
Colbert brought the Emmy-winning comedy team back to the stage to relive some of their early moments on the Comedy Central show with a series of clips, including one of Oliver breaking his nose while covering a Civil War reenactment.
Watch the rest of the clips (below) to get a big hit of comedic nostalgia!
