Steve Carell and Stephen Col­bert go way back.

Both alum­ni of Chica­go com­e­dy icon Sec­ond City, the pair land­ed jobs at The Dai­ly Show based on one bril­liant sketch cre­at­ed for The Dana Car­vey Show. 

Col­bert came up with “Wait­ers who are nau­se­at­ed by food,” based on his hun­gover days wait­ing tables, while Carell spun “Podi­a­trists who are nau­se­at­ed by feet,” with­out either of them know­ing about the oth­er’s bit. And it got them both hired.

On The Late Show Thurs­day, the com­e­dy stars took a trip down mem­o­ry lane to this defin­ing moment in their careers, and around 3:30 in the clip above, they re-enact­ed the best ele­ments of the sketch.

That is, they pre­tend­ed to vom­it a bunch.

“Do you still enjoy the fake vom­it?” asks Col­bert.

“I was just start­ing to taste it a lit­tle bit,” says Carell.
