They go over a lot of people's heads and most are geared towards the youngest and up to date demographic. He does the best interviews and is my favorite by far. Letterman and Leno stopped being funny over ten years ago. Ferguson sucks. Kimmel, Conan, and Fallon are all pretty funny. </p>

Does anyone under 60 actually still watch Leno? That guy sucks so much ***. Drop Leno to last place and Letterman a little above him and I like your list. Although I personally find Stewart funnier than Colbert, but that's just a humor preference.

1. Ferguson - the chemistry between Geoff and Craig has made this show incredibly fun
2. Kimmel - great with guests, not as douchey as you'd expect
3. Colbert - political comedy done pretty well
4. Conan - fun if you don't feel like thinking much

Everyone below this line sucks

5. Fallon - thinks he's 100x more funny than he is
6. Letterman - too fond of repeating jokes that are simply not funny, all night
7. Leno - old recycled material, easy jokes
8. Daly - boring and generic
9. Stewart - just an angry hateful liberal who takes easy shots for his dumb audience - and I'm far from a conservative.

Jimmy Fallon had a small cameo appearance in "Band of Brothers." He was driving a jeep full of ammo and such to resupply E-Company just before they headed in to Bastogne to begin the Battle of the Bulge. He played a small, but important, part in the war. For that, Jimmy Fallon, I am thankful.

If I remember correctly, Jimmy Fallon told Capt. Winters good luck, and warned him that they would be surrounded. Capt. Winters responded, "We're airborne, we're supposed to be surrounded."

And I didn't say I even like Leno... But his show is funnier than Fallon's. Jimmy Fallon just sits up there and giggles the whole time. The truth is, none of these shows are that great. I only watch any of them depending on the guests they have that night.

The worst thing about him is that while he laughed in just about every skit he was in, he nearly ruined some of the best skits ever (watch the More Cowbell skit again and realize Fallon was a giggle away from 17ing the whole thing up).

ok, I'm not that old, but......

When Fallon started out, he was unwatchable. I mean terrible. But he is sooo much better now. His skits are some of the best on late night.

Others:

Leno -B- yeah. he's old, and a lot of his stuff is old, but he still has some of the best writers in the business.
Letterman -F- Hasn't been funny for about 15 years.
Kimmel -B- Good host. He likes his jokes more than you do, though.
Conan -C- Was funny for a long time. Now, eh, not so much. Skits are ridiculous.
Ferguson -C- Don't watch him much. Does he still have a co-host that is a, uh, robot?
Stewart -F- Dumb jokes for even dumber people.
Colbert -F- See above.

listed in this thread. I think I may have watched the first ten minutes of conan's first show on TBS.

Late Night format is dead to me.

He lives in the heads of the Bill O'Reillys of the world in much the same way that Mullen lived in Nutt's head. And he does it from Comedy Central. Brilliant.

and this is why we have 682 channels on our televisions ... because everyone is different<div>
</div><div>I'm not sure how in the hell you like Conan Kimmel and Leno are ever ranked as a 1-2-3, they are all completely different. I'll admit I prefer silly humor so Colbert > Stewart but putting Kimmel that high is just bizarre to me, I'd rather watch ESPNews for the 4th time of the day than his crap. I like to think Fallon is finding his way like Conan in the beginning but I just dont think he has the natural "it" Conan does to me. Just my 2 cents and we all got em to give</div>

It was hilarious back then. Stewart's sometimes very funny, and he's definitely very smart. But for the most part he's a very bitter man who does nothing but rant.

He has a good comedic background, along with just enough knowledge of politics, and an understanding of his audience. Basically, if you call out that he panders to a left wing audience with nothing but vicious attacks, he pulls the "I have a conscience, you are what's wrong with politics" crap, but when you try to call him out on actual political issues, he hides behind "I'm just a comedian!"

Honestly, he's not even that funny. He tells a lot of half-informed truths and personal attacks, which his brain-dead 20-something studio audience just eats up. Also, the "best comedian" myth is continued because he gets a shitload of critical acclaim from an extremely left wing Hollywood (Stewart is probably the favorite comedian of almost every famous actor).

and before anyone assumes, I'm not a conservative, nor republican.

and apparently i dont watch as much TV as some of you guys.

he wasgreat on weekend update on SNL and he's hilarious on that "Cupid's Arrow" skit they do on his show now.

I agree thatmost of his jokes go over some peoples' heads...

Whats Jay Leno?
