Almost three years later, has anyone's opinion changed?

I vote for SNL first.

Although I don't watch a whole lot of late night talk shows, Conan comes in second.

Letterman gets third, but he seems to be less funny each time I watch. If he was at the same level he was in the late 80s, early 90s, this wouldn't even be close.

Leno is not funny.
Stewart is not funny.
Kimmel is not funny.
Mad TV is not funny
Daly is not funny.

Kilborn is gone, and I've never seen Craig Ferguson's show.

I watch Conan every night and have it set to record every show. I'll sometimes watch Jimmy Kimmel untill Conan comes on. For that one person that picked Carson Daly I ask Why? How he ever got a show is a mystery to me.

Karma!

Wow, that's funny. My opinion sure has changed. I've only watched TDS a couple times the past 2 years because I thought it started going way down in quality only a few months after I posted that. Also, I thought I really liked Kimmel pretty early on, but I didn't even mention him. Kimmel's definitely my favorite right now, but I actually think the show's been much worse after he made several changes a couple years ago. He took away the things that made the show unique. I hate how none of the late night shows have sidekicks and Kimmel's weeklong guest sidekicks was something I've always wanted to see.

My two favorite talk shows right now aren't even late night shows. What's even better than a sidekick is 2 good co-hosts. I've loved Live with Regis and Kelly ever since Kelly joined. Those 2 complement each other so well and I love that they take 20 minutes to just talk about whatever.

What's even better than a sidekick or 2 good co-hosts is 2 good co-hosts and a sidekick. My favorite talk show right now is Attack of the Show. I loved Pereira since he was doing an internet radio show in the 90s. Sarah is surprisingly entertaining and is good eye candy and Brendan has some of the greatest dry delivery I've ever seen.

craig furgeson is actually a funny funny bastard.

almost none of his monologue is scripted. he just has an outline on his teleprompters and he ad-libs the rest.

kilborn was never an option as i always wanted to punch him in the face. when he left, i was very intrigued by all the auditions. i started watching ferguson a little and now i am hooked.

the more you watch him the funnier he gets. i am a big fan now and I HATED him on drew carey.

Nothing like a joke 3 years in the making. :lol:

Leno. Just for headlines on Monday.

Late Night with Conan O'Brien and Leno. I can't stand Letterman for some reason. I try to give him a shot every few months, but always end up switching back to Leno.

I agree. Also, his Sean Connery, Prince Charles, and Micheal Caine bits are great too.

For me it's:
Letterman and Ferguson 1st then Conan. :up:


Leno is sooooo lame it's sad.

Other...

Real Time with Bill Maher on HBO Friday nights.

It was Nightline, but I miss me some Koppel.

Conan, for sure. Most of the others I don't find funny at all.

Ferguson, Conan and Kimmel in that order.

I can't stand Paul Shaffer so I don't watch the Late show. Whoever is in charge of getting Leno's guests should be fired. He's in LA and he always has the sh*tiest guests. Plus he's such a suck ass when he interviews.

I don't have cable so I can't include the Daily show. Everything else...meh
