    Apparently enough for NBC to pull the clip from Hulu AND cut it out of the west coast re-airing of the show. Only folks on the East Coast saw that part of the show :)

    Ferguson is hilarious sometimes but at other times he's a bit forced. Favorite late night host interviewer is Charlie Rose.

    I have a pretty broad sense of humor, but none of those guys are particularly funny in that format, although I guess based on past works I would give Conan the edge. I kind of wish Ricky Gervais had a talk show. The podcasts with Ricky, Karl, and Steven are very funny.

    Anyways...who is the best? No idea. Gave them all a shot and none of them are worth my time. I'd be happy if all of those time slots were filled with another fictional TV show.

    NBC would rather see Conan go to Fox instead of Leno.
    Leno was Carson's pick, and mine too.

    No, Leno was not Carson's pick. Johnny over the years was disappointed and not in favor of it going to Leno he always thought (and wanted) Letterman to be his successor. He thought Lettermen earned it and deserved it. The two were great friends out of the spotlight right up until Johnny passed.

    Look it up.

    Let me begin by saying that not all comedy necessarily needs to be edgy. Though I tend to gravitate more to those comics willing to toy with society's taboos and embrace the absurd, I also believe that timing and delivery are just as important (if not moreso).

    Leno fails massively on both counts. His humor is vanilla and is one-stepped removed from something you might find on a Laffy Taffy wrapper. If you still find yourself laughing at the same knock-knock jokes after twenty years or if you still find it uproarious that the chicken crossed the road to get to the other side, by all means, keep tuning in.

    His delivery is even worse. He laughs too often at his own jokes. He bobs his head cartoonishly to cue the audience that the punchline to his latest OJ Simpson joke is ready for applause. I'm sure it's possible that he's the life of the party in his personal life. Maybe the need to appeal to the largest demographic possible has watered down his act. Either way... it's garbage.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Exactly. Not that I'm surprised xcapri is talking out his ****, but if you think Carson wanted Leno.... you seriously have not been paying attention.

    Regardless, who gives a **** what Carson wanted? He didn't run the network.

    Carson was writing and submitting jokes to Letterman after he was off the air.

    I laugh at the bickering they're all doing......it's fun to watch other people poke fun at each other.......at least, to me.
