Leno is the #1 all around late night entertainer.

I think Craig Ferguson is amazingly funny, but I cannot watch him for an hour.

Conan is funny as well, but he was not that good in the 11:30 slot. His "bits / sketches" were mostly lame except Twitter Tracker, but I enjoyed the monologue and his banter with Andy.

Dave just seems to be done. Ever since he didn't get the Tonight Show, he has been unfunny. It's like he phones it in most nights.

Kimmel? Seems like once he split with Sarah Silverman, he went into decline. I particularly think he was a j*ck*ss during the Tonight Show debacle.

Fallon / Lopez? No. No desire to watch either one. They make me long for the days of when the TV ran a test pattern at night.

Conan O'Brien for sure, although for some reason I liked him much better on Late Night rather than The Tonight Show. Fallon and Kimmel are just not funny IMO. Lopez and Ferguson are hit and miss.

I live in Las Vegas. In Las Vegas, late night television is Good Morning, America.

I've been turned off with late night since Conan is gone.

Don't get me wrong, I always watched Leno on TTS then Conan.

I don't know what possibly could have been in NBC's minds when they put Leno on at 10:00 with those blue chairs in that type of format, I like Conan but I didn't think he could carry TTS.

I wish Conan would of gotten his old spot back.

I like Ferguson and watch him once in awhile.

Late night just doesn't seem the same anymore, I don't think with what happened at NBC has gone over very well with alot of viewers. JMO

I never liked Letterman.

I'm sure Leno will be top dog again.

I dont know about other people but Im the exact same as you...Since Conan is gone, Late night tv just isnt worth watching on NBC...and since the only other Late night show I really like watching is Craig Ferguson, Ive just said screw it all.

If I catch Ferguson, cool, but I sure dont want to see anything on NBC anymore..I dont know what happened, I just dont like how they handled the situation, and Conan was actually the show I looked forward to...I didnt just watch it, I enjoyed it....

Now Leno is just meh...and I probably wont be looking forward to seeing any new late night lineup from NBC.
