Who says President Donald Trump only divides? On Tuesday, he brought three late-night hosts together for a rare joint response to presidential insults at a South Carolina rally on Monday.
Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon and Conan O’Brien united for a taped segment that, in what may be an unprecedented move, opened both Colbert’s “The Late Show” and Fallon’s “The Tonight Show,” long-running time-slot competitors. “Conan,” O’Brien’s late-night TBS show, didn’t feature an original episode Tuesday.
The three teamed up after the president doled out critiques of CBS’ Colbert (“lowlife”), NBC’s Fallon (“lost soul”) and ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel (“terrible”) during a speech to rally support for a gubernatorial candidate. His insults came after a recent interview in which Fallon said he regretted his much-criticized decision to muss up Trump’s hair during a 2016 show.
