Conan OBrian  is my easy favorite- he is so silly and naturally funny. Dave is 2nd- then Jimmy, then Leno. You?

Conan is great, but Letterman and his writers are the best on TV. Leno is a trainwreck.


...you forgot Craig Fergusson

From my brief experience in your fine country I can safely say that they are all pretty dire.
What?

Letterman used to be my favorite in High school- he is absolute classic. I do think his better days are behind him though-

Craig who? Wink

Is that the with Triumph? Episode cracks me up.

I went with Letterman. Him at the Taco Bell drive up window is the funniest thing I've ever seen on TV.

I agree about Richter's departure. However, I still think Conan is the best currently. I would even go as far to say that he could give Carson a run.
 
Letterman is the easy second best. I liked him alot more when he had Conan's time slot though. He's calmed down considerably.

I vote for Leno.. His jokes are the best, he's the most charismatic, just a little bit more than Conan O'Brien who, nevertheless, will have to make some changes in his style when he takes over Leno's position in 2010; Letterman is a bore to me, his "top 10" used to be funny but now is full of innocent, almost childish jokes; Craig Ferguson's monologue is always good, in a different style 9more dealing with him and telling stories than small punchlines aboput current events).... Carson lacks charisma to tell jokes, though he has improved (he used to be MTV d-j Dead... he's gotten better)...
 
Yes, where's Stewart? Where's Colbert?  (both good, not great)... Where's Maher? ( a different thing)

Conan is the king, then Letterman who is still funny. Leno sucks, and Craig Ferguson is awful.  I still haven't figured out how he was able to take over that show.

I didn't think that Stewart fit into the category- 1/2 show to an hour show, not a real monologue-  etc.

Conan is a funny man, but Letterman is a classic with my family.
He will always be my favorite. In fact, now that I'm 18 I can finally get tickets to his show, but is proving very difficult. Cry

nice to see the love for Dave, who surely will go down as a late night great in the same league with Johnny Carson and a handfull of others.

I would vote for Jon Stewart too, easily, but I agree; he doesn't really fit the category. I only know Conan and Leno, both are very capable.
