    I'm a big fan of late night shows. Lately I've been so tired I've missed a number of them. But when I do stay up to watch them, my favorites would have to be Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher, Late Night with Conan O'Brian, The David Letterman Show, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

    Are there any fans of these shows. My two favorites would have to be The Daily Show and Late Night. But my absolute favorite is The Daily Show. Its the shortest of the Late Night shows, but it still delivers the laughs. And Jon Stewart is funny as hell. He cracks me up every time. He has the best sense of humor. [face_laugh]

    With that said, do you like Late Night Shows, which ones do you watch, who's your favorite late night talk host, and what's your favorite late night show?

    Letterman and Conan are the best. They're shows are the most original and they do the best interviews. Leno just isn't funny and Kilborn really doesn't deserve his own show. I like the Daily Show, too, but I just never watch it. I went to a taping last year and got a Daily Show stress ball. I think that was the last time I saw an episode.

    Amazing.

    Conan is the king of Late Night! The Daily Show is also great because of the many commentators that appear. I wish I could remember all of their names right now. I like the Tonight Show, even though Jay's humor is cheesy and predictable. Letterman is an icon, but he's not as funny as he used to be in his younger days. I never watch Kilborn, and when I do, his show isn't funny. I never liked him on Daily Show either- Stewart is by far better (not as arrogant).

    I also like Politically Incorrect, because of the variety of guests and interesting political topics. Maher can be a bit blunt, but he says what he feels. He truly exercises free speech, and I admire him for that.

    Anybody who has recurring characters like a masterbating bear, a robot on the toilet, and a robot pimp deserves not only to have a late night TV show, they should run the entire network! Conan rules!

    Letterman's my favorite.
    Conan's good and its funny that he was chosen to take Letterman's old show 'cause the stuff he does is reminiscent of the Letterman school of Late Night.

    I can't believe you guys. [face_shocked]

    CRAIG KILBORN is the best.

    To tell the truth, I never used to like him. I was of the Conan school of late night, but then I started watching, and I love the Late Late Show way better than any of the others.

    The reason is I like the production value of his show. I like his weird sense of humor. I love bits like "That was, Craig being an insensitive career planner." It's just off the wall weird, but not goofy like Conan. Craig is a little more arrogant, and I think his show appeals to more the GQ crowd than any of the other late night shows. PLUS, NO annoying banter between Craig and the band leader, cuz he doesn't have one.

    That said, I must say Craig Kilborn is CBS's hidden gem.

    Oh, and I forgot three more things that make the Late Late Show great.
    • In The News

    • 5 Questions

    • and finally
    • YAMBO


    Also things like the "Countdown to Dido" makes feel like your a part of the show. You feel involved, if that makes sense.

    I find Kilborne's arrogance a little creepy at times. He annonces himself at the beginning of the show! "And now ladies and gentlemen....me!"

    Conan's characters are hystercil. Like the boyband Dudez-A-Plenti, or Raymond the hemeroid helper, or Cameltoe Annie [face_laugh]

    My all time favorite Conan bit (aside from triumph, of course) was when he went to the GI Joe factory and make himself into an action figure... how cool would that be?

    This has absolutely nothing to do with the topic, but did anyone see the SNL episode that Conan hosted in last season? The skit where Conan plays the super hero Moleculo, the Molecular Man. That was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. [face_laugh]

    We need to get Jon Stewart to host SNL :D

    "In the year 2000!......."

    Conan rules.

    And you think the others are funny when they have animal trainers come on, Conan kills when that happens.

    The only good thing about Kilborn is his Dance, Dance, Dance bit.

    Amazing.
