Leno seems like a real, nice guy. Letterman comes across like a cranky old ass.

Having said that I find it amusing (in a good way) that everyone is so passionately defending their preference in late night talk show hosts and their attributes. It's an ST comedy civil war! heh :)

Responses:

I'm not really a huge fan of any of them (nor do I particularly dislike any of them), I just think Leno's the worst. - mafic May 30, 03:32
I wonder if you (rhetorically) could find a single comedian who thinks Leno has/had the better show. nm - Dignan May 29, 22:26 12
- Conan O'Brien -- nm - ? Redmond May 29, 22:30 7
  - No way in hell. nm - Dignan May 29, 22:32 1
    - I heard him say it on his NBC show! -- nm - Spawn May 29, 22:33
  - Why would you think that? - Spawn May 29, 22:32 4
    - Well that is why it's a joke. Conan is on his show tonight. They work for NBC. Come on it's not that hard to follow. -- nm - ? Redmond May 29, 22:34 3
      - Ah... I see what you did there. -- nm - Spawn May 29, 22:36 2
        
        Also Leno is basically lead in to the local news followed by Conan's show. He kind of needs Leno to do well. -- nm - ? Redmond May 29, 22:37 1
        
        I think he'd be better served if Leno failed. - the wrong element, bad guy May 29, 23:24
- Jeff Foxworthy -- nm - dug May 29, 22:26 3
  - And Larry the Cable Guy. - Spawn May 29, 22:28 2
    - Gallagher and Carrot Top -- nm - dug May 29, 22:33 1
      - He's got the 70 and over audience nailed down. -- nm - Trish May 29, 22:40
Leno seems like the friend that everyone tries to avoid being with. Letterman seems like the adventure. -- nm - Spawn May 29, 22:21
I can't think of the last time I've seen Leno go for anything but the most obvious joke - Reagen May 29, 22:21
Woah woah woah. I am not defending Leno because I like his show. I just like Letterman's less. Conan and Ferguson are sooo much more funny. - ? Redmond May 29, 22:21 1
- Though Kimmel does have a few great bits. The Unnecessary Censorship stuff is genius. -- nm - the liioulu with yawn May 30, 07:31
well if i had my druthers, Night After Night with Allan Havey would still be on Comedy Central -- nm - dug May 29, 22:21 9
- Carson reruns would blow everyone away -- nm - peglegpete May 29, 22:25 6
  - So, you are the person that watches Carson Daly. I was always curious who it was. -- nm - ? Redmond May 29, 22:28
  - I would like to think this, but this goes into the "generational" comment I made. - Spawn May 29, 22:28 3
    - the shows from the 70s where it was 90 minutes and Hollywood people would come out and drink and smoke and BS with him are great TV -- nm - dug May 29, 22:29 2
      - Oh, I am in complete agreement. I love JC. In fact, my love of him and his love of Letterman is a part of why I will sit here and have this debate. - Spawn May 29, 22:31
      - yup. some of the very best -- nm - peglegpete May 29, 22:31
  - Especially the black and white episodes! (nm) - pegleggedpete May 29, 22:26
- Dennis Miller, when Dennis Miller was the old Dennis Miller. - Spawn May 29, 22:23
- or Zach Galiafianakis's VH1 show -- nm - dug May 29, 22:22
