My wife likes Meyers. She a big SNL junkie, which is where it comes from.

I dug his bit on SNL, but his late show is terrible.

Meyers is a funny guy and a really good comedian. It's amazing how bad he is at this job. I really wanted to like his show and I've never been able to get through more than 10 minutes of it.

Amazed that people don't like Fallon. He's not the GoAT, but he's brought it way above where Leno or Letterman were in the last 19 years.

No. They come up with bits for the guest to carry Fallon through the show. Leno was had hacky safe bits but he could hold his own there.
When Letterman was engaged in his show(which he rarely was the last 5 years) he did great interviews. Fallon interviews like a 10 year old girl talking to One Direction.

He is a bit of a fan boy, which I don't mind when he produces stuff like the Saved by the Bell sketch.

Where's Conan fall in?

He doesn't get the top guest and the bits have fallen off but I still like him a lot. His out of studio stuff can't be beat.

Can't stand Fallon's standup. He's second rate and there's no one listed in this thread other than Letterman (never saw his old stuff) who I would consider ranking below Fallon

Colbert has been doing a podcast that's been great. One featured Batiste, and it was really interesting. Talked a lot about why Colbert picked him. Also talks about the production side of the show and the setup of the theater. Highly recommend a listen to those who haven't and plan on watching the show.

Is it just a short run podcast until the show kicks off or something?

What is it called?

Good. That was the most lame schtick of all time. I can't believe it lasted as long as it did. We get it, you don't like Bill O'Reilly and you don't mind being a little dishonest in your criticisms


Lighten up, Bill.

That's why Fallon is winning the war. He understands this and panders to it nightly.

Yeah, that's all the character did, just made fun of Bill O'Reilly. There was nothing else to the show other than that. Nothing else that was awesome at all.
