Leno or Letterman: Which Late Night Host Do U Prefer?

Gotta go with the big chinned one. I love Leno, his comedy, his work ethic, his "headlines" segments. Don't 4get "Jay-walking"... funny stuff.

I used 2 love Letterman... with his "stupid pet tricks" and dry humor. I don't know, he just seems so cynical now. Well, even more so than b4. Even Paul can't save him!

Conan O'Brien... the Late Nite hero... after Leno, this is the one 2 watch. I miss Andy Richter, but he's done well without him.

Craig Kilborne? sucks.

What about u overseas peeps? Do u have ur own late night tv shows, or do they show our guys 2 u?

Yeah nod Leno..."HE" thinks he is funny...confuse I really dont think so lol the only reason people laugh and clap is because the screen T.V.'s hanging over the audience tells them what to do...Clap, laugh,...Oh well ...I like judge Judy...she is so sarcastic! lol

Arsenio was too much of a fawning suckass, just sitting there with his hands folded, saying "yeah, yeah," like it was some deep conversation...Leno's getting the same way. he's too safe and corporate.

Thought it would be a landslide ..Leno? wtf? Even if Letterman has fallen off, how in the world could anyone think Leno is funny or worthy of The Tonight Show? Dave with stomach flu is already 5 times better than him.

i don't really think either are funny, though dave used to bust me up. my current favorite is Graham Norton (So Graham Norton)...he's on BBC America for anybody interested.

I would say that currently Conan is the funniest. Although Letterman is an all-time fave because his show has a long and funny history...

Leno is horrible, though occasionally he gets the better guests.

Craig Kilborn is pretty good too, very underrated. I think I enjoyed Craig a little more when he hosted the Daily Show back in the nineties. Sometimes his skits are just great though. To choose between him and Conan is not difficult, however. Conan is just too funny and too consistent.

I guess I'm going against the grain on this one, I still go with Leno.

Letterman was funny when he was on Late Nite on NBC... he's 2 bitter now.

Even Prince chooses Leno over Letterman! Prince was on Leno 2 nights in a row this last year, and even worked some practical jokes in on Leno. When Prince was on Letterman (during the Symbol days) he sang "Endorphine Machine" and ended the song in mock suicide, and was dragged off the stage by a band member, totally avoiding the Letterman interview.

lol

Always loved Letterman. It just seems that his show kinda suffered when he moved to CBS. Jay is Kinda stupid with his guests sometimes. When Letterman used to do the skit that he would throw Fruit or T.V.S from the Fire Escape that was funny and with those Deli Guys and Definitely Stupid Pet Tricks. Letterman is the King of Late Night than Conan in my Opinion.

It is not even close Letterman by a landslide,although I
think Conan is funnier than both of them,his comedy is kinda
edgy the way Dave's was in the 80's

Letterman, definitely. Leno just plain sucks.

And Conan was really the best for awhile. But the same old shtick and routines are wearing thin lately.

Letterman by far. I used to watch him every night my junior and senior year of high school. I like Conan best now.

As if that means anything...plus Prince is too much of a pussy to go on Letterman. He knows Dave will tear his shit up and be sarcastic..." whats with the eyeliner at 43 Prince? hehe". Leno took over Aresenios' asskissing schtick.

lol



actually he did Dolphin on Letterman. And Dinner With Delores 2 years later.

and you'll note, that he was on Letterman twice, back when he still had some balls, some edge.

he's gone on Leno the last few times because he's a big ol' pussy and knows Leno is a suckup.
