Stephen Colbert said this was based off of his true experiences as a waiter the next morning/afternoon hungover. He would literally almost get sick when talking about food. This is such a classic sketch.
Damn. I was watching Jimmy Fallon when he was interviewing Steve Carell, and Steve said this was based off his audition because when he was trying for the part, one of his sketches was a podiatrist who gets nauseated by feet! Interesting
@@Will.Moen. It's actually both. They took the audition with the same idea but different scenarios without knowing eachother. Source: The Late show with Stephen Colbert, interviewing Steve Carell
Colbert is so good at imitating nausea that I felt a bit of nausea myself as the sketch went on. It was perfectly ordinary restaurant faire but I'll be damned if I'm going to put any of that in my mouth now!
Harrison Ford I know I saw it in my recommendations and I was like wow Robert Downey jr and Steve carrel in a skit to together that's interesting. Then I heard him talk
Nutty to think they had Dana Carvey, Stephen Colbert, Steve Carell, Louie C.K, Robert Smigel and Dave Chappell working on one show. I'm sure I'm leaving some other deserved names out, but I was bummed when the show was cancelled.
Back somewhere between 1988-1991 I saw these guys at Second City in Chicago on the main stage. Steve Carell did a genius bit about a mob boss who was also a cardinal with the church... his character would go from benevolent father to unhinged violent mafioso in a wink... clever and howlingly funny!
In the docu "Too Funny to Fail" it talks about this. Really funny. Apparently Stephen was a waiter and sometimes would come in with a hangover and be grossed out, and would do this bit for the other waiters. Carrell wrote the list so he didn't know what it said beforehand.
Steve Carrell is my absolute hero as far as comedy concerned. The work he's done in The Office is nothing short of amazing. Stephen Colbert is another one, he'll become on of the greats of hosts in talkshow no doubt about that.
A truly flawless comedy sketch; no wonder this show is so legendary. Carell is always great, but I can't get over Stephen Colbert in this--he carries the sketch 100%.
@@shuabert Ohhhhh .... is it “this car ride is making me nauseous” vs “I feel nauseated,” or do I still not have it right? Also, could it also work like this: “this car ride is nauseating” ?
Came here after seeing "Too Funny to Fail" and learning this is is the sketch that years later helped get Colbert, and later Carell hired on The Daily Show.
+Otiss I found this clip actually from the Kevin Pollack Chat Show with ....Rafi (Forget the actual name of the comedian.) He was discussing what stuck out in his mind as being funny and what shaped his career in comedy. This clip has totally got to blow up and Steve Carell needs to get on Colbert's show for a reenactment.
i loved this show when it was on (the short run that it had). particularly i loved the skit where carell and carvey drove around paying for things and then driving away before receiving them.
Yeah, have to admit that I came for this because of the Late Show interview with Timothee but I had kinda heard about it because Colbert has mentioned it a few times when he talks about working with Carell.
This is actually hilariously accurate for me because I'm vegan and get nauseous thinking about those dishes lol Ok after reading the comments... I didn't realize that was Colbert!! Thought it was RDJ the whole time
Deadpan means keeping a straight face; not reacting. Please stop perpetuating its misuse, you have already mislead more people with a limited understanding of the vocabulary they wield. If Carrell was deadpan they'd have named the sketch "One Waiter who is Nauseated by food and One who Stands Expressionless."

That also makes the relieved, "Water... yes, water!" so much funnier imo😂

I know that feeling all too well.
Mr. Carell's one and only line delivered so greatly on epic proportions.
"Chicken."
The Dame Judi Dench of sketch appearances.
Stephen looks like Robert Downey jr!
+Complete Package Marvel should consider Stephen for Phase 3 - superhero or supervillain.
Omg that's what I thought!!
Harrison Ford mind blown
mix of Stephen, Robert, and Rob Lowe lol
Harrison Ford I know I saw it in my recommendations and I was like wow Robert Downey jr and Steve carrel in a skit to together that's interesting. Then I heard him talk
Holy shit I thought Stephen Colbert was Robert Downey Jr from the thumbnail
Me too!
Ohhhhh I just noticed I responded to a comment that was written 6 years ago😆
Hope you’re alive and well 👍🏽
Now that we mention it...Have we ever seen Colbert and RDJ in the same room?
same
same and that's why I clicked on it
This is a great exercise for actors.
Docktor Jim I was totally thinking the same thing.
I'd get sick doing it:)
I came here for Robert Downey jr.
I’m not disappointed.
Basaltar DiosDelBadco no fucking shit
@@-__9767 you're on the milk carton
Stayed for 90's RDJ
The influence of Monty Python is strong in this one.
I’ll bet the rest of the Pythons saw this & said “Damn, we should’ve thought of that one first!”
Colbert sounds just like Eric Idle
Piecemaker1975 I concur sir.
Crunchy Frog anyone?
"Good thing i didn't tell him about the dirty knife!"

jicon97 And Charlie Kaufman!
jicon97 Charlie Kaufman and Spike Feresten!
Bill Chott, Elon Gold, Dino Stamatopoulos, Heather Morgan, Chris McKinney, Robert Carlock and Jon Glaser, too.
too much talent to stay together on one show for long, they were all stars needing to break out on their own.
@@xenohtype never heard of any of them
Carell looks completely sick, even at the beginning.
Not sure who these two are, but I think they'll have a bright future in comedy someday. :)
Try to grasp sarcasm more, bro...
+Mark Zeddo Hah, come on dude. You didnt catch that?
I think the smiley face makes this comment sound genuine haha
Doug Pruim Hi Ken M !
Doug Pruim lmao
This skit is hilarious, but I wish I wasn't a sympathy puker.
I feel this way about Italian food. Hate it. The smell makes me feel like these guys.
lol, funny
Meggie Gei pathetic
Oh God. Me too!
Yeah, can't watch it.
Their acting is so good that even I feel sick from hearing the food. Anyone who’s worked in a food place while sick can relate
I gotta say Stephen did such a good job faking being nauseated that he made me for real feel nauseated
POV: Tony Stark and Michael Scott struggle to read to you tonight's specials.
That’s Stephen Colbert, not RDJ.
@@ryanday1231 duh. He just looks like him here
OMG Steve Carell is SO funnyy
And Colbert looks A LOT like robert downey jr
holy crap he does! haha
Holy shit I thought is wa Robert Downey Jr. 😂😂
0:56 - Carell is trying not to laugh :D
SEND FOR THE MAN
I guess Steve couldn't handle "asparagus tips in an olive sauce"
@@NoahsArcade Maffew is that you?
UA-cam recommending me this after a whole decade
Steve Carell’s face as this goes on and on is a thing of great skill 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
anyone come here after listening to office ladies?
yes.. lol i love their podcast
I did!! The Fight episode!
clem fandango yes!!!!
yup.
Yes!!!

hotel foxtrot that’s so cool! You saw them way before they were famous
I lost it when they had to swap the waiter for: "Chicken" xDD

Here after the office ladies podcast 🥳
Ashley Hope 👋🏻
Nope. Nobody
great
When you’re hungover and can’t call in sick from work.
Look how great Carell's expression changes at 20 seconds......perfect
Steve Carrell is my absolute hero as far as comedy concerned. The work he's done in The Office is nothing short of amazing. Stephen Colbert is another one, he'll become on of the greats of hosts in talkshow no doubt about that.
OG OBBBYDE ....I loved Strangers With Candy. It's a comedy nerd must-see like Mr. Show.
OG OBBBYDE I seriously could not agree with this comment more, hit the nail in the coffin
colbert will go down in history as better than letterman and carson, calling it.
They might be my two favorite men in comedy, ever. And you know they're talented when they actually make YOU nauseous as they read the menu. :P
Thank you office ladies for bringing me here
this reminds me of when michael eats fettucini alfredo before the fun run
Steve and Stephen were hired because of this on the Daily Show!!
A truly flawless comedy sketch; no wonder this show is so legendary. Carell is always great, but I can't get over Stephen Colbert in this--he carries the sketch 100%.
Amazing, the clip that made them Daily Show's Correspondents.
Kudos to them on using "nauseated" and not "nauseous"
+indorock Thank-you for mentioning this. Sometimes I feel very alone.
Nauseated means having nausea, nauseous means causing nausea.
shuabert whaaa I never knew that
@@shuabert Ohhhhh .... is it “this car ride is making me nauseous” vs “I feel nauseated,” or do I still not have it right? Also, could it also work like this: “this car ride is nauseating” ?
I love how youtube recommended this to me 10 years later
This is the skit that got Colbert hired in the Daily Show. Six months later they needed somebody else and he brought Steve Carrell.
I'm so happy this popped up. Now I finally can say I've watched it and know what Stephen Colbert and Steve Carell are talking about.
Oh god, I've just watched this twice in quick succession and have cried laughing both times!
Very Monty Python. I love it.
Came here after seeing "Too Funny to Fail" and learning this is is the sketch that years later helped get Colbert, and later Carell hired on The Daily Show.
Such a goofy, simple premise made great by both their performances. Cracks me up every time!
This show was criminally underrated.
Thanks Office ladies!
thanks for hanging on to this one for all of us.
Every single second of this bit is pure gold...these two are my heroes!!!
Thumbs up if you found this video after Stephen mentioning it on the The Late Show while talking to John Krasinski

Two rising comedic stars right there.
as a server, everytime i smell the dishes this is too accurate
I’m most surprised by the prices, compared to today.
Brilliant!! THIS sketch is what got the Steve's onto Stewart's The Daily Show!! Bloody Brilliant!!! :)
Anybody here because of office ladies?
Me!
👏🏻
What did they say on the podcast regarding to this?
no
I love how Carrell just turns green from the word “specials”
Hands down, Stephen is hella cute ❤
Goobi Stratton I know, such a cutie!
i loved this show when it was on (the short run that it had). particularly i loved the skit where carell and carvey drove around paying for things and then driving away before receiving them.
stephen's eyes are so beautifully big! if only he'd take his glasses off on the late show. he wouldn't be able to read the prompters though
Fannish Fanning cause contacts don't exist.
Literally, my stomach started turning as I watched this. Excellent acting, fellas!
Great sketch. They're also IAce and Gary, the Ambiguously Gay Duo lol. So much talent in The Dana Carvey Show withh Louis CK and Robert Smigle
Anyone else here from the Office Ladies podcast???
the late show with stephen colbert brought me here today
Came here from The Office Ladies podcast
Michael Scott: You know what being a waiter is hard because I don't like waiting
This is so classic - and anyone who’s worked in the industry knows this feeling all too well.
If you’re not here after office ladies what are you doing?! Go listen to the podcast
Don't tell me what to do!
If you’re not here after performing an enema what are you doing?! Go blast your ass! The hive mind demands it.
Two comedic giants now. Iconic.
Who found this after Timothée mentioned it in his interview with Stephen? 🙋♀️
Yeah, have to admit that I came for this because of the Late Show interview with Timothee but I had kinda heard about it because Colbert has mentioned it a few times when he talks about working with Carell.
yes sssir
MEEEEEEEE
ME
The punchline was literally on the title. Still, I laughed like a hyena
Steve Carell is amazing! How he isn't the president of the world by this point?
Ahenci Gets sick at high-profile dinners.
+Ahenci, and vicepresidnt Colbert

who’s here after the Office Ladies podcast?!
i didnt
Came back after both of em in the same interview in TLS w/ Stephen Colbert.
To me, that’s the Times Literary Supplement. :-\
Who’s here after watching Carrell on the Late Show? 🙋🏽♀️
C. Ray I saw that the other night but fortunately UA-cam Just randomly recod'd this,
not me
LOL sometimes I forget how funny Colbert used to be HAHAHA
I recall this is from the INFAMOUS Dana Carvey show. Even when noth Colbert & Carrell get together, this bit STILL comes up all this time later. 🖥🎭
"That's gold, Jerry! Gold!"
I'll have the colbert please, with carrel sauce.
One of the greatest sketch I have ever seen
..
it's pretty, pretty good
This is actually hilariously accurate for me because I'm vegan and get nauseous thinking about those dishes lol
Ok after reading the comments... I didn't realize that was Colbert!! Thought it was RDJ the whole time
Steve Carrells deadpan in back in the beginning is killing me.
Funniest part imo
Hilarious
Deadpan means keeping a straight face; not reacting. Please stop perpetuating its misuse, you have already mislead more people with a limited understanding of the vocabulary they wield.
If Carrell was deadpan they'd have named the sketch "One Waiter who is Nauseated by food and One who Stands Expressionless."
I want the soup of the...gahhh...soup with chunks of...grahhh I love this clip! Nobody does I'm Gonna Be Sick like the Steph/vens Colbert and Carell!!
Rebecca Marano ...You just reminded me of their colabs on The Daily Show.
This is the skit that got them on the Daily Show
We need more shows like this.
Here after listening to the new Office Ladies episode 😂
hmm. what is that? i didnt.
they should have said something totally absurd and not reacted to it and then continue on gagging at the normal food stuffs xD
I never get tired of this bit.
Totally underrated sketch
Is it me? Or does Stephen look a lot like Robert Downey Jr.
Yeah I was about to scream: LIAR THAT'S ROBERT!
Was that Lisa Kudrow as the customer?
doesn't it sound more like Julia Sweeney (it's Pat)?
Too demanding a part for Lisa Kudrow.
Heather Morgan
Weirdly it sounds just like Annie Hall doesn't it ?
No
Steve’s such an acting genius
Colbert sticking his hand in the water to wipe his face just sells it for me. XD
this is one of funniest damn things I've ever seen. Watch this after a shitty day, it works for me every time, and I work for the US post awful
This is so Pythonesque!
Yeah, but Python would actually have the fake puke coming out in gallons and gallons... just like in The Meaning of Life
poisongodmachine3 it’s wafer thin!
yes! i was left with the same impression
Since then Colbert's won 9 Emmy and Carrell's been nominated for an Oscar
Colbert looks different without his glasses on.
This was so "Monty Python" I could taste it. Mpff... excuse me a moment...
Could also be Waiters who are aroused by food and they wouldn't have to change anything
Otiss: I did come here after seeing The Late Show, but I've been here many times before. This is a classic clip for our family. We love it.
Colbert doing what he does best, regurgitating comedic scripts. Steve Carrell reigns supreme.
Here after his interview with Steve Carell
In a terrible looking year for American comedy movies we could really do with a Stephen/Steve double act picture.
I've heard Colbert's too lazy to do movies. Nothing confirmed, just rumors.
I’ve never seen this before, and I’m dying over here 🤣🤣
Two legends were born.
