Since I don’t stay up much past 10pm these days, I miss out on one of my favorite entertainers of all-time. At least, that was until the days of Tivo and such.
I now tape David Letterman (pictured right early in his life) every night and usually watch him when I get home from work in the afternoons to unwind. To me he’s the best host of all the late night guys (read this bio of Letteman if you get board, he’s had an interesting life). He’s classy, he never resorts to cheap laughs from lame sex jokes like Jay Leno does, and he knows how to interview a guest. Just check out how he did a week ago with Paris Hilton.
That being said, the Friday question is…
“Who is your favorite Late Night personality?”
Leno? Conan? Anyone else? Bill Maher? (if he even on late at night?) The new guy who took over for Craig Kilborn? I used to love Kilborn.
Anyways, I look forward to your answers!
Loved Letterman in college (1994-1999).
My favs today are;
Jimmy Kimmell (hands down)
Letterman
Conan
Letterman!
Letterman.
Always forget about Kimmell…and wow, hands down huh?
Kimmell no doubt. West Coast, Gen-Xish, just an everyman. I loved the Man Show as well.
The Man Show was awesome. I love Kimmel and I’ve been watching Letterman since the original Late Night in the 80′s. Yes, I know this dates me, but he was great then as well as now.
Craig Ferguson is good too, but I rarely make it that late.
