My husband dislikes Conan, but I record Conan, Jay, Letterman and Craig
Ferguson every night. I watch the monologues and some of the interviews,
depending on the guests. Sometimes, I will record Jimmy Kimmel, I like
him, but they gave him a weird time slot.


I am not wild about Jimmy Fallon and I recorded his show for 4 weeks. I
gave it a try, but his timing really sucks. I loved him on SNL. I hope
he improves, or I do not know what NBC is going to do with his time
slot. He can not have much of an audience.

Becca,

It'll become Paid programming.

I've recorded Craig Ferguson on CBS and he IS very funny, imho. I've enjoyed
his monologues and antics.

Best,

Andy

I like Leno the best. His monologues and various segments are always
good. I tried to watch Conan on numerous occasions and always go for the
delete button. Letterman hasn't been funny for a long long time.

I can't imagine how he can last. I tried watching a number of times and
found myself going for the delete button.

It is hit and miss with Letterman. The Tonight Show has a big budget,
so Jay Leno benefits from that, Conan O'Brien does not have the comedy
writers that Leno does. Now that he has the Tonight Show, we will see
if that changes. I like Leno and his show is funnier, but when it comes
to interviewing guests, Conan does a better job.

George do you remember Virginia Graham? My mother introduced me to her
when I was very young, I always wished she had a late night talk show.
She was bright and so quick witted. I miss her.
