I love Conan. I really enjoy David Letterman, too, though, but for different reasons. Variety is the spice of life! And, I don't think Conan and Jimmy Kimmel are anything alike. I like that Scottish guy, too, but I can never remember his name. ;)
I can't remember the last time I saw any of the late shows, though...I'm usually asleep by ten. :p
Conan is the better educated and most likely the more intellegent. What is funny is a matter of taste. I like silly, becaused I am. I am also 50 not too young or too old. I remember Lucy and Laurel and Hardy and Larry, Curly and Moe too. Love Carol Burnett and Tracy Ullman. I also like new and young and hip which Conan is.
O'Brien attended Brookline High School, where he served as managing editor of the school newspaper.<SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-actors_5-2>[6]</SUP> After graduating as valedictorian in 1981, he entered Harvard University.<SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-6>[7]</SUP>

He graduated magna cum laude in 1985 with an A.B. in History and Literature.<SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-8>[9]</SUP> His senior thesis concerned the use of children as symbols in the works of William Faulkner and Flannery O'Connor.<SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-9>[10]</SUP>

I was shocked when she told ME about his show and that he makes her laugh hysterically! Ya just never know, do ya? :p I'm a real Kimmel fan. I love his humor. He's as quick as a whip.
Once upon a time I was a big Letterman fan. Today...IF I could stay up that late I would watch Jon Stewart's The Daily Show and The Colbert Show....now those guys are usually (not always...) VERY funny!
I do try and watch the reruns the next day....:D:D:D
My order is:
Jon Stewart
Craig Ferguson
David Letterman
Conan O'Brien
and the rest I can do without. Kimel irritates me. I thought Jay was a bit of a sell out. Haven't really seen Jimmy Fallon. I'm warming up to Cobert.

Where have you gone, Johnny Carson?
Go to the Slauson cutoff, then Cut off your Slauson.;)

I guess everyone is too old to remember Jack Parr, but he was funny.:)
Then came Johnny Carson & I liked his show as well, David Letterman is
a local guy who made it big in the big city. He was assigned as a weather
man as a first job on local TV channel. He was the funnest weather guy
I ever heard.:D
I remember Jack Parr, but not real well. I only got to see him when I could sneak in when my parents didn't know I was watching. That was way past my bedtime then. ;) :DQuote:
