the sucking seems to be permanent.

Remember, Conan was about as bad as Jimmy Fallon when Conan first started.

It may take a couple years for Fallon to get the hang of it and stop being so damn annoying, but I would be pretty surprised if he pulls it off.

i tried to think that..but i've seen some of conans early shows, and he was never this bad.

I can't say Letterman has ever been funny (his top ten has never even gotten a chuckle). SNL hasn't been funny in years. WTF? "Space Olympics." *YAWN* No matter what you think of their day-to-day material, Leno and Conan have had plenty of gold and there's always more where that came from.

They are at least decent and watchable unlike Fallon.

If you don't agree it's time for you to get checked out.

Compared to Leno, they aren't funny at all. Leno has got to have the best writers.

Is that your credibility I hear running away? Leno is by far the unfunniest talk show host on TV. I use unfunny, which is not a word, because he's so horrible he actually sucks the funny right out of you.

Conan > Stewart > Colbert (come on, faux O'Reilly will NEVER get old) > Letterman > Fergeson > Pearl Harbor > My own death > Jay Leno

Don't mind the OP, he bats for the other team.

Another vote for Tina Fey, not only is she smoking hot, but shes hilarious! 30 Rock is one of the funniest shows on TV because of her.

I don't understand how Tina Fey is smoking hot. She's cute in a geeky kinda way but I guess to AT she is the hottest thing on tv.

You are among the over hyped comedians in recent times that are not funny. This list includes: Dane Cook, Carlos Mencia, and Tina Fey.

Thank you.

I agree w/ you on all of them except Dane. Dude cracks me the fvck up!

The rest... yeah, overrated. Jimmy has never really made me smile.

Joe Rogan would have been better for the show.

I just watched the show with Tom Brokaw....ugh. He had some random cellphone shootout game where 3 people took a picture of a monitor flashing random pictures and they won whatever they shot. It could have been funny, but Jimmy didn't know what to do with himself, the audience didn't laugh, and everyone pretty much stood there.

It should be a prerequisite that talk show hosts be stand-up commedians before they get a show so they know what to do in front of an audience. If his show were a party, I'd leave early.

Tina Fey's pretty funny, and cute. Stewart used to be funny but he's sucked for several years now, ever since he started taking himself too seriously. Colbert has pretty much never been funny, though he does get points for having Rush on his show. (The band, not the guy.) Fallon sucks, of course. Leno's solidly mediocre. Letterman used to be great, and still isn't bad. Conan is awesome.

I love Tina...in both SNL and 30 Rock. Haven't seen Jimmy on his new show, but he was great in SNL.

Dane Cook and Seth Rogan were cool in a movie or two...definitely overhyped and overused.

Wow, I couldn't disagree with you more. Stewart and Colbert rock. Leno sucks and has been stealing Stern bits for years.

If Classy = trashy to you, then sure, I agree, she's very classy.

Trashy. Trashy?

I don't think we're talking about the same person here.

Tina Fey writes 30 Rock. 30 Rock is funny. Tina Fey is funny.

Couldn't agree more on Jimmy Fallon, though.

Add Carson Daly to that list. Of course he's on so late he hardly qualifies as "overhyped."

It's actually been pretty good the last few years. You have to watch those blanket statements.

How did we end up talking about that waste of space Dane Cook? He's horrible.

I watched it on Saturday for the first time in a long time. There were actually a few decent skits, some real misses as well, but I laughed much more than I expected I would.

You're just caught in the hype. I've never had much more than a few chuckles in the time I've watched those 2 guys. They are really awkward in their deliveries. I can go a few shows without even a chuckle.
