Conan for me, no contest. Letterman is great as well, grew up watching him.

Jimmy Fallon

:roflmao:

that was funnier than his best joke.

For me, its a tossup between Conan and Letterman.

I liked Leno a lot because of Headlines, Jay-walking, the Funny Photo booth, Pumpcast and more. I'm waiting for him to be back at 10 PM.

Between Letterman and Conan, Conan.

The problem with Fallon is that he can't even laugh at his own jokes.

I can sit through any of their shows, except for Fallon's, but in the old days I'd always begin with Leno on NBC, then switch over to Ferguson on CBS. Now that Leno's not on, I flip between Conan and Letterman before I watch Craig Ferguson.

Craig Ferguson is AWESOME!

Ferguson no question. Conan is second. I'm glad I can watch both now.

Ferguson, I really don't like Conan or Letterman all that much, I'll watch Leno when he has his 10PM show starting in the fall, he was my all time favorite.

I rarely watch any of it, but I occasionally see Ferguson and he's hilarious. Letterman isn't even funny... he's just scum, IMO.

Leno was my favorite too. Fallon is horrible. I can't watch him. I've always liked Letterman too. I'll have to go with him.

I always joke that Letterman saved me from a colicky newborn baby. LOL Oh yes he did, I should thank him in a letter someday, maybe he'd read it on the air? LOL That baby is turning 22 this week but my first daughter cried from 6 pm until 1:30 am, every single night for 8 straight weeks. Thought I'd lose my mind! But good ole Dave.......he made me smile and laugh, while holding a screaming baby (picture that scene on Friends with Monica holding a screaming Emma and singing "oh baby....", I didn't sing, but instead of crying with her I laughed with Dave!).....

I was already a Letterman fan but that phase in my life sealed it, I forever a Letterman fan after that. We DVR his show every night......old now, can't quite stay up that late. LOL

I'm glad he's made you laugh over the years, MM. I hadn't even read your first post when I made mine, or I would have commented with something like: sorry Miss Mary! :lol:

I just can't stand him, but he's still on the air, so obviously, there are people out there who do find him funny.

Little surprised Ferguson is winning, I've only watched him a few times and it was meh. Maybe I should tune in more.

He doesn't do the standard talk show. He doesn't have the band. He has an extended monologue. Less importance on the guests. I think he's the best natural comedian of all the talk show hosts though.

I miss Johnny Carson. Leno was my second favorite, but I never really stay up to see any of those shows.

Does Jon Stewart count? If so, I'd have to vote "other" for him.

Wow, Craig Ferguson is winning this poll? I wasn't expecting that! :lol:

. It's an easy choice for me, Conan O'Brien. I've always loved him and it's truly him that makes the show, not everyone else. His first three episodes were brilliant, just great, now it's similar to his old shows which is just fine.

Craig Ferguson has a different style of comedy in which you either love him or hate him. I think he can be really funny certain nights while other ones just boring. It depends on the subject he is currently talking about at the time.

Jimmy Fallon...how he got on the Late Night Show I have no idea. Not funny at all, straight face all the way through. I don't even watch it. Terrible writers and lame segments (carpet sample wheel and lick it for ten?!!? :roll:

).
