What late night talk show(s) do you watch? Who is your favorite host? Vote in the poll above!

I voted for Jon Stewart and Conan O'Brien since they are my two favorites. Although I do sometimes watch Leno and Letterman.

I like Jay Leno then Craig Fergeson ties with Jon Stewart. IMO Conan will not keep the ratings when he takes over for Leno (Big Mistake) Conan just acts to freakish for me.

I disagree Newcomer. I think that Conan is going to do a great job with The Tonight Show. He is VERY popular with the younger generations and I think that the ratings will go through the roof when he takes over for Leno. However, I do understand that everyone has their own personal taste.

Now there are rumors of Jon Stewart taking over for Letterman when he retires. I'd liek to see that happen too. I would have a hard time choosing between Stewart and Conan if they went up head to head.

I like Leno and Jon Stewart. I gotta be in the mood for Conan. He gets a bit to excited for me sometimes, but he can be really entertaining if I'm in the right mindset. No one could ever replace Carson in my mind, I can remember thinking I was a big girl cause I stayed up late to watch him, then paying for it the next day at school. Karmac (?sp) was one of my all time favorites. It took me a while to warm up to Leno, but now I really like his type of humor. It's been fun watching them all write their own material, shown a lot insight into their character. There is one thing I do know for sure, I don't like Letterman at all.

Ditto" We are dating ourselves here DG LOL. I also don't like the way Conan opens his show with all that jumping around & stuff. Carson was the Master :)

Funny I was thinking along the same lines about Conan. If I'm in the right mindset I think he's funny but sometimes I just find him annoying. I really like Jon Stewart his timing and facial expressions remind me of Jack Benny. I rarely watch Letterman or Leno they seem like nice enough people I just don't think either one is that funny. Carson was a hard act to follow. I was somewhat surprised to hear Wayne Newton talking about what a mean spirited man Johnny Carson was. One of my techs did all the service work for Carson at his house in Phoenix and he always talked about how nice Johnny was to him. I like to watch Craig Ferguson interviewing people but his comedy doesn't do much for me either.
