Letterman is an idiot, and couldn't come up with a decent joke to save his life. Leno isn't that much better, but atleast he has his shining moments. (I mainly watch when he has the animals on, or whenever Steve Irwin makes an appearance)

CONAN O'BRIEN!

Between Leno and Letterman, I find Letterman more entertaining, but I'm not a fan of either.

I eschew them all and watch Jon Stewart.

Though I've always preferred Letterman over Leno (who I think is a big fat idiot).

Conan O'Brien is the man!

Between those two though is a hard choice, but I think I'd have to go with Leno.

Don't really care much of the two...I prefer Conan or Stewart.

But what of the two I've seen I prefer Leno.

Neither of them have drop-you-on-your-butt jokes, but Letterman is a cool guy to listen to. He seems like a buddy, or something.

Leno is just annoying

Eh, I don't watch either anymore. The only late night talk show I watch is Conan O'Brien, who's show is much more funny and out there.

John Stewart doesn't have a late night show, though. He just has a half-hour 11:00 show. You can watch him and Conan.

Headlines and Jaywalking or Top Ten and Stupid animal tricks can't compare to In the Year 2000, Masturbating Bear, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, If They Made it, and being able to come up with many different ways to call Cristina a whore, Martha a freak, and Hillary pure evil and still keep it funny. Plus Conan always adds his own little thing that makes the show funny, like last week when Luke Wilson was on and he was bitching about the weather, and then he had the camera zoom in so his eyes were filling the screen and said "If it rains one more day on the East Coast, I don't know what I'm going to do."

But between the two I'd have to go with Leno, but I've completely stopped watching him.

This is true. Conan improvs alot on his show, usually for the better. And people love him for it, because he's not afraid to bring the crowd into it and respond to their energy and commentary. Much more than Leno does. So if something works, he can play on it. Also, Conan's show has a much greater edge to it. It does more stuff that pushes the envelope and has greated "Did they just really do that?" value. Leno's show is a bit softer, there is no edge to it at all.

Conan hasn't been the same, of course, since Andy Richter left, but the show is still par excellence as far as I'm concerned.

I say Conan owns, back when I had cable I watched it religiously.

My favorite bit was back on Christmas 2000, he had some kids on and he dressed as Santa. Anyways, he was putting them on his lap, asking what they wanted and such, one kid says he wants a moustache, so he pulls out a little fake stick-on one, but it doesn't stick, and he says: "This worked in rehearsal, Santa's gonna fire someone's ass."

I still chuckle to this day.

Yeah Conan doesn't like to play off mistakes in the show, he blatantly points them out, like last week one of the cue card guys was a little slow on moving the cards or confused if he was suppose to move them, and instead of just doing something stupid to until he changed the cards, he just shouted "JUST CHANGE THE DAMN CARDS"

I've always liked Letterman a lot more than that nob Leno but I really don't watch either of them anymore. I'll take The Man Show.
