Maya feat. Stephen Colbert and Steve Carell 

Correct

The best per capita

Lucky you. I just come back here every year to watch this classic.

I call that time "The Golden Age of The Daily Show" I can't find much any of it on the web except small clips on RU-vid. Fortunately I recorded some of the shows to VHS. So when I can find a working VHS player again...

good news, both of you should go ahead and search KeiraTota channel, they've been uploading the clips back to YT.

Who remembers when both steve's were on SNL as the Ambigiously Gay duo??

Maria Gutierrez be careful.....steven is very special when it comes to his name..

bye bye *stephen

That's improv

What are you talking about? Carell did fuck all. He just stood there.

exactly

Dude his face was his acting.

@@ADSuri What are YOU talking about? Carell is the entire reason this is funny. He provided the baseline. Without Carell, this would've just been Colbert playing an old, black woman, no different than a guy reading the part of Juliet in Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet". Sure, there's potential the juxtaposition to provide comedy there, but it's not laugh out loud funny. The comedy comes from Carell seeing Colbert as we see Colbert, rather than as an old, black woman, and wondering what the heck is going on. If he wasn't there or if he just went with it, this wouldn't have been anywhere near as funny. Everyone except Carell is acting like this is 100% normal & Colbert is playing the role of an old, black woman. Carell is the one telling the audience this isn't normal and Colbert isn't playing an old, black woman, but, rather, someone who actually looks like himself whom everyone sees as an old, black woman. Especially considering that "Yes, and" is the most well-known rule of improv, knowing that he should break from the pack here really highlights Carell's chops, and his acting sold it.

sploosh09 same!

Rosie-Anne Wright I mean who wouldn't?

No such thing. :)

Its sketch, but still yes, hall of fame.

please, don't pretend to look like a wise man, no one is tricked

We All... Everyone Of Us by Sweet Honey in the Rock.

This sketch is pretty rehearsed. There are some more improvised ones floating around on here though

Luigi Terroni We improvised this in rehearsals, then write it once we liked all we improvised. It was, though, pretty much the way it was originally improvised. It was from a show in 1994.

John Lascurettes All scripted. Perhaps came out of an improvised nugget. But this was part of a sete, scripted portion of a Second City Mainstage revue. I believe in circa 1992.

Most Second City material is developed from improvisation and then set.

Jeffrey Sweet This sketch was actually improvised during a rehearsal and put up unchanged. Also, Mr. Sweet, I really enjoyed your book. Never thought I'd run into someone of note in the comments section.

I got confirmation on Facebook via David Razowsky (the guy who gets kissed) that this was a written sketch that Carrell and Colbert brought it into rehearsal, was improvised by the group, then added to the set.

My guess, sketch.

This is a rehearsed sketch. You want a less rehearsed improv look at Tina Fey and Rachel Dratch in "Connections" it's also hilarious

Barney Os.
