His late night show struggled at the beginning, as he tried to find his niche. Right now, I think he's the best late night show on TV. The dude is really talented. His Neil Young impersonation and History of Rap bits are really good. Anyone else a fan?

No, not really. Will always be Letterman and Conan for me.

His show has gotten better but, even though he's on TBS, Conan is still top dog.

I still try to catch Conan as often as I can. He had Ringo on last night and it was awesome.

He's gotten better and has a few good bits (Tebowie was funny), but at that time period (if I'm up) I'd rather watch Craig Ferguson.

Letterman is the best overall in late night for me though.

I watch it every night. I like a lot of his bits but some suck. I'm sure there are things that the other late night hosts do that aren't funny either. It has definitely improved though.

That was good. But I didn't like how much screen time the chubby chick in the green dress got.

Conan's show has gotten progressivly worse/less funny, IMO. He used to be my fave, but I can;t really watch it anymore.

Leno sucks. Only thing I ever enjoyed on his show was "Headlines" and that's because he didn't have to deliver the joke, they sold themselves.

Craig Fergusen and David Letterman are ok, but they don't really appeal to me.

With that said, I hated Fallon's show when it first arrived, but he's gotten a lot better. I actually find a few of his skits somewhat funny. He's had some good knockoffs of "Lost" and other shows.

I don't watch these shows often, but when I do, it's usually Jimmy's.

Conan is like the opposite of crack or the backstreet boys. Everyone says they are watching it, but nobody is.

Fallon is talented and I've thought his show has had good production value from the beginning.

Letterman was awesome back in the day, he still has his moments but isn't consistent. Conan can be funny as well.

I never understood Fallon, he was awful, I mean AWFUL on Saturday Night Live. I suppose he's an acquired taste that I haven't acquired.

I think Colbert has the best late show. That guy is just fuckin hilarious. Stewart has his moments of brilliance too

Still watch the rerun at 1am of Conan if I'm up. His skits aren't near what they were at NBC cause they didn't let him take them with him to tbs. but he is still the best interviewer out there. Just hysterical when he has a guest that can handle it.

His stand up has gotten better. Used to be the worst of the bunch, but now it's pretty good.
