Favorite Late Night Talk Show?

[jp58]

Who does the mighty off topic think is the best "Late Show" host?

I prefer Letterman, but I also watch Craig Ferguson on occasion. Never was much on Conan, not that it matters a the moment, and Leno is okay sometimes...

Team CoCo forever!

Yes and no... He "isn't" be a host right now, but a lot of his cult following aren't thrilled by his lack of TV show now. It interferes with his plans for world domination.

Drunk Scottish guys are rather funny.

Craig Ferguson. I like is quirky humor and he is known to improvise quite a lot of his material.

Ferguson makes me laugh out loud. I wish his show came on at 11:30.

Letterman makes me laugh out loud sometimes, but more often it's Paul Schaeffer.

Conan has never made me laugh out loud, ever. Nor Leno. They're both just a little too pleased with themselves for my taste. Ferguson and Letterman both frequently make themselves the butt of their own jokes, and that humanizes them, I think.

Ferguson, although he is definitely on the wagon, retains a good deal of that lunatic drunk humor. He's just off the rails.

I might see some of the others for the guests, but I prefer Craig Ferguson. Also, some of the others are on too early.

Jimmy Kimmel FTW!!! He's got Jimmy Earl playing bass for crying out loud! That dude has groove in places no one should.

+1, Letterman really won me over after Sept. 11, up until then I had been an infrequent late show viewer.

If we're going to go by the strength of their bassists, then Letterman wins cause he has Will Lee. Conan has Mike Merritt though. He's a freaking monster.

Fallon has the best band. I mean, it's The Roots.
CoCo is pretty great.
Craig Ferguson is the best comedian of the lot though imo, especially with the whole drunk Scot thing he's got going on.

I'd put Jimmy Earl up against all them cats. He can hang, definitely! Will Lee is a monster though. Mike Merritt, never heard of him until now.

I was a Conan fan until the whole NBC mess. I am sure I will watch his new show whenever that happens. Until then I'll watch Craig Ferguson. I love how spastic his show is, like TV for people with A.D.D.
