..cmon man..JUST FUCKIN DIE ALREADYY!!!

GINGER NO!

BANG!

Whatever you may think of Leno, he's better than the CBS alternative.

Let's get this thread's contrarian back and forth going.

I disagree.

anybody see Steven Wright on Craig Ferguson last night?

guy got rolling with the standup and the interview was pricelss-- Ferguson is a quick wit - some funny stream of consciousness going on btwn the two

if i had access to youtubes i'd link it but i don't

worth checking out




i'm havign premonitions of flashbacks

That sucks, looks like Conan and Leno both have lost out-Leno by losing the Tonight Show and getting this crappy show instead, and now Conan by having Leno right before him anyway, and now getting moved later.

I don't like either of them that much-Leno is not funny, and too mild with the guests, and Conan is just a bit too smug, trying to be all hipster, and awkward with the guests. He interrupts them all the time to make his own clever comments, and can't relate well to some not right in his own demographic.

I have no use for either of them, I would much rather watch Letterman or Craig Ferguson-I only put them on if there's a guest I really want to see.

That said, I still feel bad for both Conan and Leno, they both got shafted a bit in all this.

jesus is anything worse than these fucking shows? badly scripted stand-up intro, followed by boring small talk, then interviews with whatever bonehead celebrity has a new movie. WTF is right

Ferguson has the best "late night" show. His facial expressions, quick wit, and constant stoner smile make it easy to watch. His monologue right in the camera is intimate and he's just a class clown. The other guys are all good, but they're all so stiff, sticking to model that Carson created. Bring back Arsenio.

Well, obviously, if you don't care about celebrities, you have no reason to watch them-that's a given. And they do occasionally get politicians or other celebrities, although not that often.

You also really have to like the comedian-I enjoy Letterman's monologues, and his manner in the interviews-I find it entertaining, at least sometimes. Ditto on Ferguson. Yeah, the monologue is written by writers, and so is much of the schtick, but their personalities still shine through, especially while they're interacting with guests.

Only kept alive by the occasional priceless gem.

another industry the inbernet is senselessly slaying

Dude should stab himself 9 times.

Do NOT tell me that you find Letterman the least bit funny. Do NOT tell me that.

he's a lame duck BRA

I not only find him funny, but I never bought into the whole "OMG HE'S ADVOCATING RAPE!" shrill braying that was heard over the summer. What can I say, I'm part of the liberal elite.

Jay Leno is a sinkhole of not funny. If we could transform laughter into energy, he would cast the earth into a million years of darkness.

LESS FILLING!

TASTES GREAT!

Dudes take their late night talk shows serious

Leno isn't close to anything resembling a barrel of laughs, that's true. A good deal of that is due to his writers, I'm sure, but that's only part of it. Leno's delivery is bad, and his tendency to repeat the punch line of his jokes 2 or 3 times is unbelievably irritating.



But Letterman..... holy fuck. He's a dried up old vagina of unfunny. Honest to fucking God, on the few times I've bothered to watch him over the last 10 years, I couldn't help but wonder what happened to him. It's as if he got a lobotomy. The impish sparkle that made him fun to watch years ago has been completely doused. Now he's just a dour old clod that looks like Letterman.


If you can find anything funny he's done in the past decade on youtube, please post it.

just like the internets bra!

At least we're back on the subject of Leno's DNA-level lack of funny. That is good.

As for Letterman, I'll admit that I haven't watched his show in years, save for a clip here and there through sites like Gawker and the like. Those that I saw were amusing enough. Not bust a gut funny, but hell, he's never been that. Oh, and I'm at work, so I can't YouTube anything.

I love how there are people who admit both are unfunny but will argue who is unfunnier. People really do love to argue.

Just in case you forgot smcd - Dave didn't have sex with "other women" while he was married. he didn't get married until AFTER all the other things he had going on had ended.

Oh, right.... I did forget that.


But what I DIDN'T forget is that Letterman repeatedly cheated on his long time girlfriend - and MOTHER TO HIS SON. Not only were these much younger women, but THEY WORKED FOR HIM.


But that's ok, right Danny? Right? Long as he wasn't married? Right?

we should definitely impeach Letterman

Funny impeached him long ago.

I think it started around the time he got the shingles. That'll probably take the humor out of you. Or maybe the lady who kept breaking into his house, or those carpenter dudes plotting to kidnap his son. Dunno.

He also seems like he's naturally morphed into a cranky old man who wants these damn kids off his lawn. After 68 years on TV, he's not real interested in getting kicked in the face by Crispin Glover or coddling Belinda Carlisle when she's obviously a vapid bimbo.

Now he'll tell his guest they're a vapid bimbo, fuck with them for a few minutes, and then get someone more interesting on. Like these train wrecks from last year:

The Joaquin Freakshow
Dave makes Paris cry

I've seen a few good segments lately where he just interviews his guests. Rachel Maddow last night, the working Baldwin a few weeks ago. Less jokey, more like Ed Sullivan or Jack Parr or something.

Any way way you cut it, the less he lets Paul talk, the better.

I didn't notice her crying, but ok - that was pretty funny.

It's not "ok" and I certainly wouldn't do it.

But I'm not really looking at late night TV hosts as arbiters of moral turpitude either.

Why do you give a shit so much abotu other people's sex lives? Not getting any at home?

I really don't mind any of them. But I'll take Conan's humor first.

I like how you qualify your bullshit with "I certainly wouldn't do it". You really are a repulsive, sanctimonious ass.




But enough about you. Let's talk about you. If you go back in this thread, you'll find that, as usual, it was you that kicked off this particular shitfest. You brought up Letterman's sex life. I'm merely doing you a favor by pointing out a few facts you managed to somehow overlook. Including the fact of how dreadful you are. You can thank me later.

Same here. I can't stay up to watch any of them though

For a Nazi, you're pretty monogamous, bra.

This is crazy.
