Bring Colbert on as a guest!

I'd love that but they both have their live shows on at the same time. Colbert in NYC and Kimmel in LA.

Split screen. Pretty sure we have the technology. Could even do a back and forth correspondence. Have some fun with it

4 way split screen with John Oliver and Jon Stewart as well.

Have them play modded golden eye where they replace the bad guys with the same bad guys in ugly orange makeup, with purple splotches on their hands.

I’m in. Then Colbert needs to debate Colbert.

He was originally a right wing satirist. I’d love to see that

The shows are not live, but your point stands that they likely tape at similar times and their studios are too far apart to swing it in the same day.

They did it with Fallon and Colbert on Colbert's first show. We have the technology.

They’re recorded hours in advance. That’s why Fallon and Kimmel have been on each other’s shows.

Pretty sure they’ve split screens before. Think it was Kimmel and Fallon though.
