Sean Hannity seemingly responded to Stephen Colbert’s mockery of his “Question Of The Day” segment with a new question on Friday night’s “Hannity.”

“Tonight’s question of the day: ‘Who’s gonna win the late night wars when David Letterman retires next year?’” Hannity said. “My prediction? Very simple. It’s definitely gonna be only one of these two hosts.”

Hannity then played clips of both Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel.

“And I predict this guy,” Hannity said, as a photo of Colbert flashed across the screen, “is gonna come in dead last.”

CBS announced in April that Colbert would be taking over when Letterman retired.

Here’s Hannity’s segment, courtesy of his Facebook page:

  1. I rarely watch Fallon or Kimmel, but I’ll definitely watch Colbert. Somehow I doubt if Sean will follow up when his prediction is proved to be a fail.

    The problem, Sean, is that this very smart person is going to have a lot of airtime to respond.

    And whatever else, is VERY smart.

  3. Sean…your envy is showing.

  4. Sean can’t stand it when someone is more popular than he is.
