The hosts of America's popular late-night talk shows have put on a rare united front in response to criticism from President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

In a taped segment that opened both Stephen Colbert's The Late Show and Jimmy Fallon's The Tonight Show on Tuesday, Colbert and Fallon were seen responding to his recent slights.<\/p>\n

Fellow talk show host Conan O'Brien also appeared in the segment.<\/p>\n

It followed Trump disparaging them at a South Carolina rally on Monday.<\/p>\n

During his speech, the President described Colbert as a "lowlife", Fallon as a "lost soul" and Jimmy Kimmel, host of ABC's late night show, as "terrible".<\/p>\n

"I mean honestly, are these people funny?" he continued. "There's no talent. They're not like talented people."<\/p>\n

Colbert and Fallon responded by broadcasting a mock video chat, in which they addressed each other as "lowlife" and "lost soul".<\/p>\n

"I heard he said some pretty bad stuff about us," Fallon can be seen saying in reference to Trump's stump speech.<\/p>\n

"That doesn't sound like him," Colbert responded before agreeing to meet his NBC rival for lunch at the Red Hen restaurant.<\/p>\n

The restaurant, in Lexington, Virginia, has also been attacked by Trump after his press secretary Sarah Sanders was refused service there.<\/p>\n

O'Brien, whose show airs on the TBS channel, is seen in the skit calling Trump "the real estate guy who sells steaks".<\/p>\n

He is also seen exhorting his competitors "be civil", adding: "If we're not careful, this could start to get ugly."<\/p>\n

Colbert made further comic capital from Trump's remarks by having his show announcer describe him as "the guy on CBS".<\/p>\n

That was how the President referred to him while speaking on Monday at a rally for South Carolina governor Henry McMaster. <\/p>\n

    Fallon has faced criticism over a 2016 interview with Trump in which he messed up the then presidential candidate's hair.<\/p>\n

    Fallon recently apologised for the interview, which led to Trump accusing him of "whimpering" on Twitter and telling him he should "be a man".<\/p>\n

    The remarks formed part of the banter in Tuesday's taped segment, described as "a rare collaboration" by trade paper Variety.<\/p>\n
