FTA-TV Late Shows - Mega Thread

[Dont be a lemon]

They're on at 11pm and 11.30pm and do an interview.

Conan for me, but all of them are better than Leno, that guy sucks.

 

[Super Hans]

Surprised no one mentioned Jimmy Kimmel, he's very good I reckon.

They're not in the same category. They're 22 minute (mostly) political satire shows, not late night chat shows.

Haven't watched Jimmy Kimmel's show, he was good on The Man Show though.

They are late night talk shows. Less wanking over celebrities doesn't make them not so.

Wikipedia counts them.

Wikipedia says a lot of things.

Oh, you edited.

Colbert just ahead of Jon Stewart for me but both are great. Do like Ferguson too.

Graham Norton count? The guests make the show, but he has his moments.

I used to love Graham Norton.... until Ten got it and not butchered it with ad breaks.

Bloody hell! Letterman "dancing" and "singing" with Mary Tyler-Moore and Michael Keaton in 1978. Pissa.
The show didn't last long -- uncanny!

 

[Northworth]

Craig for me is now unmissable
does so much more with so much less than the "main" ones


and I used to love Dave in the 90s and was a fan of Conan on Late Night (and Jimmy Fallon after him)

Never like Jay

but this is the funniest thing I have seen on one of these shows

Now? I'd agree with you in the past, but these days he's phoning it in.

 

[NitroFan]

if you want to count them, colbert and stewart easily for me, but of the ones listed i voted for conan. also watch a bit of ferguson most nights and really like him.

conan and craig have the best co hosts, as well.

 

[MC Bad Genius]

Jon Stewart only for his fake shocked face that he pulls on average 3 times a show. Oh, and his incredibly insightful commentary and seemingly limitless sarcasm. That helps.

In terms of the poll, it's gotta be Conan. It's just gotta. Going to see his show (Late Night) live in New York a couple of years back was incredible. The only downside was the next night he had Dustin Hoffman as a guest and I was bitterly disappointed. We got Steve Sharippa (who was funny) and Carson Daly (who most definitely was not).

 

[King Elvis]

That Norton ep linked above was hilarious.

 

[Rod Stroker]

For the BB fans, this was brilliant.



Conan blows, so friggin annoying. Dave is past it, just going through motions.

Kimmel and Ferguson I don't mind.

 

[NitroFan]

how long has fallon been on abc2?

 

[Ochre]

how long has fallon been on abc2?

Today.

Fallon was ordinary on Late Night. Probably worse now chasing Leno's baby boomers.

 

[Jcpdragonx]

Kimmel, although I haven't seen Ferguson. Fallon is boring, too conservative.

Best thing Leno's ever done

Thought Bill Hick's summed him up best

 

[ManWithNoName]

Letterman's retiring next year.

http://money.cnn.com/2014/04/03/news/david-letterman-retiring/index.html

Will they give Craig 11.30?

 

[Dont be a lemon]

Letterman is overrated.

Ferguson is good but he'd have to change his style a fair bit to appeal Letterman's baby boomers. I wouldn't bet on him getting the jerb.
