Just sitting here watching Jay Leno and was wondering who your favorite late night host is?

I use to like letterman when he showed a lot of the celebreties for who they really are. Now it seems like he sucks up to them. Conan and Ferguson are good, switch back and forth when some of Ferguson's sleazyness starts getting old.

I stick with NBC, Leno and Conan. Turn it off when Carson Daly comes on though.

I used to watch Letterman until he decided to take a hard political slant.
Leno is probably the most balanced of them all but I don't find him or his jokes that funny or interesting. The other two....lets just say that they're a waste of good oxygen.
If I'm up that late I'm generally watching TLC, Discovery, History, Science, or The Military channel. That's good stuff right there.

i agree, but you should give craig ferguson a chance- he can be pretty funny. btw, how did letterman take such a hard turn to the left?

Yep, was Futurama and now the Family Guy. My wife hates both of them.

I have I find him to be lacking in everything from humor to intelligence to substance.

Well I didn't say left "you did" but you're right he did. I don't know how or why but he has found it necessary to bash only those on the right and give the left a free ride.
He's not as bad as Bill Maher but his bad enough I don't watch him anymore.

yup, that's what makes him great to watch. no carefully crafted jokes written by a team of writers about bush being stupid, cheney being satan, bill clinton being horny, hillary being a b**ch, gore being fat, obligatory stupid joke about fuel prices, etc. btw, he was the featured entertainer at the white house correspondents dinner last month, and there were times during ferguson's act, when the prez looked a little perplexed.

Lacking in everything from humor to intelligence to substance makes him great???
I guess I like substance over mindless filler.
