From the list: Charlotte Church or Lily Allen.
Not on the list: Simon Dee or Clive Anderson.
I can't think of any TV that's more inane than a talk show, other than talking heads in general, (which let's face it are about as watchable as a radio broadcast), even parody talk shows are vacuous and braindead dribble of forced comedy and ill-concidered it's-satire-so-it-must-be-hilarious that's about as funny as a half-chewed stick of celery and almost as interesting to look at. At least a half-chewed stick of celery hasn't got a book/play/film/record to plug.
Conan's old show on NBC pummels everything here. Only seen the new show once and it was just alright. The writing was meh, but Conan's still the king.
Leno is by far the worst. Craig Ferguson is a joke and only right behind Leno for the worst. Letterman is kind of losing his mind. He used to be great. Jimmy Fallon is awkward, but his show has decent writers and a great band (The Roots). Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert are great, but alas, I have no cable. Jimmy Kimmel was way better with Adam Corolla on the Man Show. Surprised Howard Stern didn't make the list. (Not a fan by any means, just surprised.)

Agree about Craig Ferguson, i don't like him at all.
Also, what do you mean Letterman is losing his mind? In some cases this would be good.
