Hard to rank them, because Conan is funnier but I would say less "classy" than Letterman. They kind of appeal to different audiences, or at least different kinds of things that I like to watch.

I picked Letterman, though, because I'm more likely to watch him.

Letterman > Conan > Kimmel > Craiggers > Leno

Conan, then Letterman... I was pretty sure that Jimmy Kimmel was off the air, but I guess hes not, hes off the air here at least.

i'll go ahead and put in the only vote for kilborn because you are all mindless sheep under conan's brain control device. he's not that funny people.

Leno blows....he just rehashes the same tired crap and rips off the other shows. Like anyone really believes the Jay-Walking segments anymore. At least with Letterman, you know he's not trying to pass something off as legit when it's not. And I love his self-depracating humor. If I hear Jay joking about how much pot his band smokes once more I'm gonna go postal.

I think it depends on what "generation" you are for the most part (are you an old fart?).

One of my friends who is my age prefers Letterman where as I like Conan.

Letterman is my favorite, although I agree that Conan's show has some great bits, it's much less dependable as something worth watching.

Conan all the way! Letterman should retire, and Leno should be fired! Kimmel is pretty good, and I live in SoCal so I've heard him for years on KROQ with Kevin and Bean, so he gets points for that :)

Conan



BTW, am I the only one that noticed he is the only one listed by first name? Why is that? Is O'Brien too hard to spell? ;):beer:

conan >>>>>>>>> leno >>> * >>>>>>>> Carson Daly

I cannot laugh at Letterman's brand humor at all and I hate smitty as well

I also like the musicians in the same way
max weinberg is hilarious along with la bamba
kevin eubanks is alright and he has his moments

i dont know the musicians on Kilborn or Kimmel
also i thik adam corolla was way funnier than kimmel

Wasn't there a poll like this before? Anyway, I still stand by my choice: Peter Griffin. :D
