I really like Conan, but can also watch Letterman if he has good people on.

Conan then Fergusen.

Conan with the edge because I think he is the best interviewer.

Conan gets the edge. But Letterman and Fergusen are close.

FYI... I misspelled Conan O'Brien in the poll, and I might have misspelled more. I'm pointing out my mistake b/f you all get a chance :)

I just will never really enjoy Conan O'Brien. Leno and Letterman are the two I would rather watch.

You know that since you said this, somebody will now vote for George Lopez, right??

It may even be me.. Just so I can see what a faithless Mantooth acts like..

A faithless Mantooth is pretty much like the normal Mantooth, but with added doucheyness.

Can never please anyone, huh? If I asked you who the best football team of 2009 was, you'd probably say the 1972 Dolphins.

Isn't that like the whole "110%" debate? Can you really add more to 100%? Is there really such thing as "giving 110%?" Is there really a mantooth where more douche can be added?

I remember when Letterman's show first debuted on NBC...was in college, and there was nothing else like it...it was an event every night. For old time's sake, I'll give my vote to Letterman, although I admit his sarcasm has drifted a bit into snarky bitterness over the last few years.

I hope Conan can bring back destination late night TV, if that is even possible in the age of 300 channels.

Yeah, good call.

Hey, you know what? I thought that having Leno on at 10 was a great move. There is so much crap on TV that I found it refreshing.

But, then again, I am old.

Given this poll, and only this poll, I can't believe that Carson Daily, Jimmy Fallon, and George Lopez still have shows... seeing that they have no votes here.

^^^True, furthermore, I can't believe Jimmy Fallon has a show given his complete lack of talent and comedic timing.

Stewart and Colbert aren't traditional "late night" hosts. BUT, they are the two funniest on TV right now. It's not even a question. Stewart and Colbert are better than any talk host right now. No debate.

However, if we're just talking about late night talk show hosts...IMO...it's Jimmy Kimmel. The dudes got huge fucking nuts and his shit is better than Leno, Letterman, and Conan.

Long live Kimmel.
