Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, Conan O’Brien Commiserate Over Trump’s “No Talent” Late-Night Jab

One day after President Donald Trump slammed three late-night hosts in one rally speech, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon and Conan O'Brien joined forces and imagined how to reply to the slight on Tuesday on CBS' The Late Show and NBC's The Tonight Show. Trump's comments followed a brief spat with Fallon on Sunday and Monday, in which the president attacked the NBC host for expressing regrets on a Hollywood Reporter podcast for a Tonight Show episode in which he'd tussled Trump's hair. Fallon greeted his CBS compatriot, mimicking Trump's name for him at the rally. "Hey lost soul!" Colbert said back. Fallon then introduced Colbert to Trump's rally comments, citing the president's remark that the hosts are "no talent, low-life lost souls." "Well that's not right," Colbert joked. He warned the hosts to "be civil, in case this could get ugly." Colbert and Fallon then made lunch plans to eat at Red Hen, the Lexington, Va., establishment that kicked press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders out last weekend because, in Sanders' words, "I work for @POTUS." Updated to reflect cold open appearing on Tonight Show.
