DVD Talk Legend
Carson Daly is so horrible it's cringe-worthy. He's usually clueless about the people he's interviewing and completely unprepared. Plus he often asks terrible questions that either make him look like an idiot or are mildly insulting to the guest.

I've actually watched Craig F. a few times the past couple weeks. He is actually pretty good, and a tad different from the norm. I shrugged him off at first, but I kinda like him. I think he could definitely grow into a great host.

DVD Talk Limited Edition
I think the only person who actually interviews people in late night (save for good old Ted when he has a guest) is Charlie Rose. He gets so much more out of your run of the mill guests (Brad Pitts, Tom Hanks, etc) than any of the other shows do, and really goes to town with when there is a roundtable dealing with some issue/hot topic. Not funny, but insightful. He would be my number 1.
Other wise it's Conan. His interviews can be really fun and random and the skits amuse me. Something about the Daily Show just doesn't gel with me. They just come off as smarmy to me. I'm their prime demo(early 20's, college student, liberal), but I think I'll stick with the old head Charlie.
