    Which late-night TV host is your favorite?

    Hard for me to pick one personally

    Leno IMO should have stayed at the Tonight Show. He's funny and doesn't need to bring funny antics for his jokes to make me laugh. He's the more classic host comedian of the bunch. Also his jokes seem more witty than Conan's
    Letterman too politically biased as a host, has a sense of humor but isn't as funny as the other two.

    I think Craig Ferguson is a natural comedian, doesn't have to say much, anything comes out funny very easily for him.
    Conan can be hilarious at times (haven't watched him much in the tonight show) but in his former show i thought some of his segments weren't funny at all, except maybe to 10 year olds -in bed by then. Triumph the insult comic dog :lol: was his best one but it seemed it was never on whenever I got to see the show.

    Jimmy Kimmell grew on me and thought he has gotten a lot funnier since he started, but he let everyone know he isn't too classy of a guy after being incredibly rude while Leno invited him for a live video appearance. Kept taking it personal and even worse, it's obvious he had it all prepared. What's his beef with Leno?
    I don't think Fallon is funny and his show is boring. Even then still 10x better than Carson Daly... Why does this guy have a show? NBC drops those two and it won't be news.

    I guess that's how I see it

    For me it used to be Letterman. Cant stand Conan, Kimmel and Ferguson is the worst. But they all started sounding the same, so I jumped to Comedy Central.
    Put me down for Jon Stewart #1 & Colbert #2.

    Kimmel and Conan are the only ones that make me laugh. Leno has good segments, Letterman's time is up I think.

    This isn't the first time for Conan, wasn't his original late night show pulled briefly back in the early 90's?

    Conon FTW. Leno is washed up at this point, I just dont find him funny anymore. Conan is great and not to mention the antics. Leaving NBC wont be bad for him. I think he will get 30 million for leaving and on FOX we will see a return of some of the old Late Night Conan Characters. Like Triumph the insult dog, masturbating bear, etc.

    Conan's last show didn't make me laugh once. I wanted to laugh but just couldn't. Not sure what was up with Will Farrell singing at the end (and where was the humor in that) but that went on way too long. Conan's worst show ever out of the ones I've seen. Not surprised his ratings are down after he took Leno's spot.

    i actually never watched these late night shows all that much either, but lately I'm not going out so much, I'm old.

    If Conan goes to Fox, you will not see, Triumph the insult dog, that stays behind with NBC.

    I only watch the clips the next day, I do not find Conan very funny, though he has great skits. I have found that Jay Leno really knows how to work a joke & find him entertaining.

    Dave Letterman is ready for the old folks home, he is living on borrowed time......

    Jon Stewart on the Comedy Channel is good.....
