Leno was a hack!

I've always enjoyed Letterman more than Leno, but have really gotten sick of him pushing his leftist views.

I've watched a lot more Leno in the last few years... especially during and after the prez campaign when Letterman was almost unwatchable, and do think Jay is a regular guy as has been said here many times... and respect that immensely... and dig the fact that he loves cars as much as I do. I've watched a lot of those "Jay's Garage" vids on the NBC site.

I really like Craig Ferguson... he's as naturally funny as anyone who's ever been on TV. When CBS was trying out different guys in that slot after Craig Kilborne, I was hoping they'd decide on D.L. Hughley because he makes me laugh almost constantly, and I think he's one of the funniest guys working today. But I think Ferguson is perfect in that slot, and I don't regret CBS picking him.

The reason I've always liked Letterman is that he has that "pull-my-finger," everyday, corny humor that just can't be faked. It reminds me a little of my dad's humor, too.

If you took his political biases out of the mix, I think he is as funny as they get... I think all of these guys are great interviewers, but I think Letterman and the people he is interviewing are having a lot of fun 99% of the time.

(If you want to see an extremely funny comedy DVD, get ahold of D.L. Hughley's "Unapologetic." If you don't laugh your azz off, there ain't a cow in Texas.)

i don't particularly care about leno. i just dread the thought that this means NBC will be ordering five new law and order shows to fill the time slot.

Charlie Rose. Why? Because Carson will never come back. H'wood has become so PC, it's forgotten how to create satire. It's afraid of pissing off every ethnic/special interest group on the planet.

Three things you'll never again see in your lifetime are Johnny Carson-type humor, a show like "All in the Family," and Looney Tunes cartoons from the mid-forties and earlier.

try watching Red Eye. it's a bunch of drunk fox news anchors telling sick jokes about the days news. most times it fails horribly. but that makes it even better.

last week they had ann coulter, congressman mccotter, and oderus urungus from gwar all talking about the tarp bailout.

I hoped for failure at NBC's expense. Leno, like him or not, deserved more respect than NBC offered last spring. Now they have everyone pissed off and Conan is likely heading to another network.

Conan is an odd freak. Letterman is a leftist hypocrite. Leno is the only one who I can stand to watch. I get up for work at 5:30 am so when he goes back to 11:30pm, I guess my late night TV watching will revert back to Friday nights mainly.
