Jay Leno with Conan as a very close second.

I don't watch late night TV anymore, but from the lesser of four evils, I'll stick with the Hoosier.

I used to like Conan the most but now I prefer Kilbourne.

I love What up?

Conan is my favorite by far.

He's the only one of the bunch that can be funny without depending on his writers to do it for him.  I love it when they do the remote locations.  His show puts all the others to shame. :P



Leno is pretty good, not the best.

Kilbourne, blah.  His show seems so low-budget and lame, its just plain boring. 

Letterman, well, he was funny...20 years ago. :P  I think he should have retired about 5 years ago before his show went down the toilet.

I've been watching David Letterman since the mid-late 80's, but not so much since it's become The LATE SHOW With David Letterman. On my old Betamax tapes, there's almost nothing but Late Night shows. :)

I really should start watching again. I don't think he's any less funny than he used to be!

I prefer Conan out of all choices. He has natural humour. I like letterman as well and watch him every night before Conan.

Jay Leno. Not flashy, just dependable? Like Conan when I happen to see it I'll watch between 10-20 minutes. Jay's OK.
;)
David Letterman.
Hey, "80sRocked", I remember catching the David Letterman show one night and thinking to myself: "Is that show still on?" -- that was in 1988! I really don't make an effort to see this show.
:(
Conan.
I liked his shows from Canada. When I do catch it, he can come up with some funny stuff every now and then. I remember when he first came on, (in 1991?) along with about 100 other late night talk shows. The critics all said Conan would be the first to be canceled. Well, he's out lived the other 99 talk shows and made it this far. Conan's OK.
;)
Kilbourne.
Only see it when I flip through the cable channels. I only stay for about 30 seconds or less.
:(
Winner: Conan or Jay.
:D

Leno: I don't watch

Kilbourne: I have never seen him....

You should really check Letterman out...I love the Top Ten...as for the best Late Night ever it's gotta be Johnny Carson though....IMO

Letterman  :)

Now I go with Conan.

In the '80s it was Letterman.  Dave was my man!  My Late Night ritual was a pint of Cherry Garcia and Letterman.  Don't forget Paul Schaffer ("Wunnerful show tonight, Dave!").  Thing is, Letterman only worked when he was the late show underdog to Carson.  Once he moved into the 11:30 slot, and Carson retired, Dave just became smug and complacent.

Leno is an even bigger corporate sell-out.  The night I saw him kissing up to Rush Limbaugh, I lost all respect for him.  He now comes off like a whiny Republican.  I mean, I was always a fan of Carson, but I guess always KNEW Carson was a big-whig showbiz jerko in real life, so I never considered his person beyond the stage.

Kilbourn was the most untalented late night guy to get his own show, until the odious Jimmy Kimmel got one!

So, if I have my choice, it's Conan.  His personality is fun, and I like his routines and skits the best.

Conan. 

Letterman is played out except for his Top Ten lists, which I can read in the Washington Post the next morning if I want to.

Jay Leno!  I love Headlines!  Jay Walking is also funny.

I don't care much for Letterman.  In fact, I don't like looking at his face for an entire show.  I would rather look at a skunk-haired, huge-jawed big guy for an hour and a half than Letterman. ::) :P  He's not really that funny.  I do like his Top Ten Lists.

I like Conan. 

I'm glad ABC ditched Bill Maher.  What a stupid show. ??? ::)

Since I seem to watch Leno the most whenever I stay up late, I'll go with him.

I think I just heard a small newsflash about Conan taking Lenos spot? Anyone else hear it?

When I responded to this the first time, I seemed to have liked Leno more.  That has changed--I am totally obsessed with Late Night With Conan O'Brien! :P :) :D

my favourite Conan show ever was the one in which he tried to learn different syles of dance-from breakdancing to ballet  :D ;D

Subject: Re: Late Night Faves

Written By: zcrito on 10/18/04 at 3:43 pm

It's funny.
When Conan O'Brien first came on (was it Fall of 1991??) he was just another new talk show in a group of them for that year. All the critics said he would be the first to get canceled. I guess they were wrong.  ;D

:)

I think Chevy Chase had talk show that started when Conan's did. Does anyone else remember any of the others?
