 My favorite part of the evening: Jon Stewart being "Kanye'd" by Stephen Colbert accepting(stealing) the award for Best Late Night Comedy Series...

Check out some highlights of the evening (A new clip will play after the first is finished. I believe the Colbert highjacking is the second video, as of now).


Checkout The Comedy Awards website for more highlights and insider information from the ceremony.

Nevertheless, congratulations to everyone and thanks Comedy Central for producing such an amazing award show!
