When you see the faces of Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel every night (or passed around online the next morning), sometimes it can be easy to forget that they're celebrities. We build a familiarity with the hosts. They're our friends, our sherpas. So, when they sit down together and talk shop, as they did last night on The Late Show, you suddenly get a sense of their off-camera celebrity lives. Colbert and Kimmel spent much of their interview making fun of their agent in a late-night-TV-meets-Entourage sort of way. But they also brought up their alleged late night rivalry.

"People like want us to fight and everything, isn't that crazy?" Colbert said.

"It's a weird thing. I think it was established with Letterman and Leno and people thought it would continue," Kimmel responded.

"I like you though."

"I like you too."

Okay, sure, but how does Jimmy Fallon fit into this picture?
