  • The Colbert/O'Brien/Stewart feud (also known as "Who Made Huckabee?") refers to a mock rivalry that occurred among comedians Stephen Colbert, Conan O'Brien, and Jon Stewart in early 2008, reportedly over who was responsible for then-presidential candidate Mike Huckabee's success in the presidential race. In reality, however, the feud was concocted by the three comedians as a result of the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike. Without writers to fuel their witty banter, the three comedians staged a crossover/rivalry in order to garner more viewers during the ratings slump. Stephen Colbert made the claim that because of "the Colbert bump", he was responsible for Mike Huckabee's success in the 2008 Iowa caucus. Conan O'Brien claimed that he was responsible for Colbert's success because he had made mention of him on his show. In response, Stewart claimed that he was responsible for the success of O'Brien, since Stewart had featured him on his earlier comedy program, and in turn the success of Huckabee. This resulted in a three-part comedic battle between the three pundits, with all three appearing on each other's shows. The feud ended on Late Night with Conan O'Brien with an all-out brawl between the three talk-show hosts — but all in good fun.
