It's always a good thread when you get SBM to remind us he's still in full metdown.
Good riddance.
Who will take over?
Leno is crap
And so is Letterman
Agree.
I agree too.
One thing I like about Carson, is it wasn't always him, nor did he do the juvenile jokes. It was cool to have so many guest hosts.
Good riddance!
Wow, and it seems like only 21 years ago when he jumped the shark.
When it was Johnny, there wasn't much else on at that hour. Now you have 400 other options plus on demand and live streaming. Late shows have to be pretty good to make me want to watch them, and no thanks to any monologue.
Craig Ferguson is my favorite out of all the late-night hosts. He gives the best interviews and most of his stuff is improv. The only problem I could see happening if he took over for say, Leno, or more than likely Letterman, is that his monologue doesn't have much appeal to most people. Don't get me wrong, I really like Ferguson but he tends to recycle the same bit night after night in the monologue (wood on the fire, heckles the warm-up "comedian", CBS "cares", makes fun of the fact that he has no band, etc.). Not sure if it is a lack of writers or if that is just his style but I remember after watching for about a week, the repeated jokes far outnumber the original ones. Still love his interviews though.
His show would never work in an earlier time slot. It would ruin it. He parodies late night talk shows and makes fun of their "rehearsed" interviews. He just talks to people.
Ferguson is definitely one of the best interviewers because he just talks to the guest and doesn't try to promote an agenda or start . He also likes to flirt with the lady guests which is usually funny because some of the lady guests flirt back. Letterman comes off as perv around female guests and just as a in general.
I liked Jay's tonight show but I also like Leno' Garage on U-tube......

Leno was alright. Pretty much always had first dibs on guests. Watched all 4 episodes this week and I can appreciate an icon.
As far as his feud with Conan goes, on 60 Minutes he said he was pretty much pushed out without even being consulted and when Conan flopped they called him back. How the is it his problem when he took back the job he was fired from shortly before? I'm more of a Conan guy tbh, Conan > Kimmel > Leno >>>>>> everyone else, but on that subject Conan should stfu and forget it forever.
just started reading the comments and aside from some of you dumb s getting suckered into kool's bull again, this thread is all about how the #1 late night guy is . I'll agree that he was pretty bland and safe, but obviously he was consistent enough and had some sort of great formula. The whole late night talk show format in general is tired anyway
The roots...
Jack Paar.
So who is taking over now?
My 2 favorites are Conan and Ferguson
Go yourself
Conan was hilarious on Late Night but he has been I'm a slump since leaving that show. I think Seth Meyers will suck as the host.
Ferguson sucks. I can understand his appeal because his schtick is a little different. That skeleton guy is the most unfunny I've ever seen though
It all went downhill when Max's role as the sidekick was given to Richter. Was never funny. And agreed on Meyers
I loved it when Max and Conan would stare at each other and when they would be excited about going to eat food in the studio but as soon as they start walking, they are silent and just look depressed and mad.
