It’s sometimes easy to forget that before Steve Carell was an A-list movie star — now appearing alongside the likes of Brad Pitt, Christian Bale, and Ryan Gosling in The Big Short — he was a correspondent on The Daily Show from 1999 to 2005. During his time on the show, Carell often faced off against Stephen Colbert — in the early incarnation of Colbert’s pseudo-conservative persona — in a segment called “Even Stevphen,” although the two men had actually known each other since long before that.
The two friends and former correspondents proved they haven’t lost their love for each other on Monday, when Carell was a guest on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and the two had a moving reunion to the tune of Orleans’ 1975 hit “Dance with Me.” It’s just two dudes, sharing a song, feeling feelings; the ultimate display of male friendship.
