#it’s just…sooooo early in their career together
August 30, 1999. That’s when they did this.
For reference: Jon’s first day on the show was April 11, 1999. That’s 5 months of working together. Stephen has said in the past that even though he was on the show, he wasn’t heavily involved with it, just doing pieces here and there, and in 1999 he was also working on Strangers With Candy.
The pizza thing happened in November 2001, after a year and a half. They were treating each other like this in public in April 2001, after knowing each other about a year.
But this? This is five months in. They were doing bits like this and making “it’s funny because we’re implying we just had sex” jokes after five months of knowing each other, five months of working together on and off.
I’m telling you. That shit was love at first joke and there’s no way any of us will ever ship it as hard as they do.
