This is forever being debated. Who's better?

I say that Letterman beats Leno in the early shows (and so does the emmy board, since they've won 6 years in a row).

For the later one, it's hands down Conan over Kilborne. Personally, I think Kilborne is the worst of all of them.

I completely agree with both of those picks. I've always had Letterman over Leno. I really don't think Leno is that great at all...while Letterman is clearly a pimp. I like Kilborne, but Conan is obviously the funnier guy.

Jay Leno has had better ratings than David Letterman for six years in a row now (ie: Neilsen ratings).

Personally, I find Leno funnier. But, I've met the guy, so I'm a littly byast towards the sexbear.

Also, I am a big NBC fan, so it's easier for me to side with Leno. NBC housed a sitcom that is very dear to my heart for nine years, so I sorta like em.

Late-late: Conan, no contest.

I really don't see how Leno can compete with the shit that Letterman pulls out of his ass. Honestly, a "will it float" segment. That's golden folks, absolutely golden.

tonguegina · 11-11-2002, 02:02 AM

I love "will it float". I think the shit that Letterman does is funny because it's kind of candid. They often pull people off the street, having no idea what will happen, and play games with them. They have the "top ten list" and "know your current events". How could you not love it?

Leno is definately funnier and if you just wanna laugh, he's your guy, but Letterman might be better all around, i think he has better guests too. Conan is definately better, though i'd like to add that craig kilbourn gets some great underground bands, he was the first to have dashboard on...

I like Letterman more, he's just a funnier guy. The "Will it Float" segment is pretty funny. In a stupid sort of way.

Conan is much better on the late late night.

killerboarder · 11-11-2002, 03:55 PM

I'm sorry to say I'd have to go with Leno on this because judging from his jokes I think their funnier than Letterman's a little bit, and his headlines just crack me up. Also I think that Kevin does better than Paul, but I'd have to agree that Letterman has better skits than Leno and his guests are better too. I'd say it's really close between the two.

I do find both of them quite entertaining, and yes it is quite a close battle. I have to say overall though, Letterman leans at the finish line, beating Leno by a hair.

BigDongedHoe · 11-11-2002, 11:37 PM

Leno's chin is as big as funny chin's and Letterman is old

i'll take letterman though.

John Stewert on 'The Daily Show' is by far the greatest talk show host! Leno or even the mighty David Letterman can compete with the greatness that the daily show is. And another thing, we can never forget about the golden days of talk soup with John henson!

tonguegina · 11-12-2002, 01:32 AM

Yes, I agree that Jon Stewart (no h in Jon) is excellent on the Daily Show. We all agree on that, but I have to point out that the question was about Late Night talk show hosts, specificly Letterman and Leno, Conan and Kilborne. The thing is, no one disagrees that Jon is great, where there is much debate over especially Letterman and Leno.

11-12-2002, 01:38 AM

I know they aren't the hosts, but the band leader's contribute to the show a good deal, and i'd definatelly have to say that Kevin Eubanks kicks the crap out of that phallic fagget on letterman...
