His tenure should never be ignored. I don't enjoy Conan's show. He's just not that funny in my opinion and forget about Fallon. The funniest of them all is Craig Ferguson! Ferguson has a unique style all his own. He looks comfortable doing it as well. He's just crazy but yet seems very inteligent and honest with his humor! He would be perfect for the early slot when Letterman retires in a few years. Watch Ferguson's show for a week and you'll be hooked! Now that's the "King of Late Night"! Letterman is a class act.

As for Ferguson, I agree he's great, but he could never be moved up, he's much more out there and niche than Conan ever was. Letterman has seemed bored for a long time now.

Second (or is it Third or Fourth by now) on Craig. Hands down the most consistently good host on TV. His opening monologue hits the highest of comedic heights and the most sobering of emotional depths. NO comic has the range of Craig. Also, Craig's accent works in his favor. Same way that Groundskeeper Willy was about 20% more funny with a Scottish accent, than say if he had a Southern accent instead. @ Chaddog. Second (or is it Third or Fourth by now) on Craig.

No other US talk shows. Conan is funny, Leno is funnier. A few months ago Letterman arrived. Inane, unfunny, infantile. I am embarassed when his bandleader tries to be funny. Come on! Letterman witty!? Funny!? For years we were fed on a diet of Conan and Leno in South Africa. No other US talk shows. Conan is funny, Leno is funnier.

Thanks for sharing it. I laughed and it made my day, or night, whatever! I have liked him (Craig)a lot as well over the years, Dave seems same-old and Conan sometimes tries too hard and falls flat, but I guess they all have their moments. Vote for Craig here on Tuned In!!! Vote This was great!! Thanks for sharing it. I laughed and it made my day, or night, whatever!

He should be moved up to an earlier time slot. He is a lot more refreshing then the other two. Craig Ferguson is the king of late night. He should be moved up to an earlier time slot.

But I'm used to reading on the iPhone now (I use the Kindle for iPhone app) and I found myself getting really absorbed in the book that way. And it's always there--I probably read it much faster stealing breaks here and there to read. Not to mention those GRRM books are doorstops, so I didn't have to lug one around. I don't know if I'd read everything on it, but so far it works for me. I thought I wouldn't like it either.

You know the beauty of the remote /DVR/ Youtube allows viewers to watch both, wonder when the networks will finally realize that. Hah, both get their Tee-ball trophies for playing, I like it.
