Stephen Colbert, [Jimmy Fallon](http://time.com/5322026/jimmy-fallon-responds-to-donald-trump-tonight-show-monologue/) and Conan O’Brien presented a united front on Tuesday night to have some fun on a video conference following Trump’s insults at a South Carolina rally on Monday. While Trump has targeted quite a few famous people since he entered politics, he’s taken particular issue with the late night shows he’s appeared on, like Colbert’s [_The Late Show_](http://time.com/4775633/donald-trump-stephen-colbert-cnn-msnbc-chris-cuomo/). And after Fallon apologized this week in an interview with _The Hollywood Reporter_ for his polarizing 2016 episode with the then Republican candidate, Trump made time during the rally to make his feelings known. Not only did he call Fallon a “lost soul,” he added that Colbert was a “lowlife,” and that Jimmy Kimmel was “terrible.” The remarks were not lost on funny men of late night, who joined forces in a cold open sketch that kicked off both _The Late Show_ and _The Tonight Show_. “He said some pretty bad stuff about us,” Fallon said offering a loose recap in the cold open clip. “I heard he said we’re all no talent, lowlife, lost souls…” Colbert thought POTUS could only be talking about one man: Conan O’Brien who was in total disbelief that “the real estate guy who sells steaks” made it to the White House.
