I've vacillated between Conan and Ferguson quite a bit (I'm stuck on Craig right now), but I've always been a Letterman kind of guy. Kimmel is okay, but ya know... And Carson Daly is so boring that it seems intentional.

POLL IS MULTIPLE CHOICE! PICK BETWEEN JAY/DAVE AND CRAIG/CONAN at least.

I picked Jay Leno and Conan.

MaxPower2k3 · Dec 11, 2006, 07:20 PM

Picked Letterman and Conan, although generally if I'm watching TV after 11 it's Seinfeld/Simpsons/Scrubs/Futurama/Family Guy, not talk shows...

Gave up Dave for Jay. Got tooo lame.

Craiggers.

I'm on the fence between Dave and Leno, but I'm a huge Conan fan.

It's all about Dave. I know he's a mere shell of his former self, but his highs are better than everyone elses.

Nobody will EVER top johnny Carson. Just classy enough. Perfect timing.

Conan's awesome

His writers suck, but he's funny enough that he can make fun of that.
(Farm-tastic 4, anyone?)

AMEN!

His best-of videos are amazing. I wish that I was old enough to remember more of him.

I went Conan-crazy for about 3 months, then I realized that he was using the same techniques and jokes over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over....

You get the picture.

I did love the Finland thing though. And there are some interesting segments. If he had Jay's writers (which he probably will in just a few years now), the show would be a lot better. I look forward to him taking the Tonight Show.

I'm still pissed at my mom for letting me sleep through his final show.

Ug. I have yet to fins much funny with Jay.

That said, I'm interested to see if he tones down his quirkiness (and sexual jokes) when he moves to 11.35.

I'm not sure if he will or not. He didn't tone things down at all when he was performing in front of several thousand people in Chicago for a week. I had never seen a late night show perform in a different city (or set, even), so it was cool to see him do that for an entire week.

More importantly, when he did his prime time 10 year anniversary special, the masturbating bear still got to do his thing.

One of the most fortuitous happenings in all of late night.

macfantn · Dec 13, 2006, 07:16 PM

wow who knew Conan was so popular.
