re: Rank the Tonight Show/Late Show hosts.

This thread is kinda funny - I love how people try and make others think like them. Being a bit more "mature" than most here, no one, I mean no one, can touch Carson. Best there ever was. You could lie in bed and watch the stars of the day being stars - because he treated them that way. The show was not about him, it was about show business. The guests came on prepared to entertain too.

So . . . my late night list from who I remember:

1. Carson
2. Letterman - though he has gone down quite a bit over the last few years, he was freaking awesome at one time, especially when following Johnny (was the best tag-team pair ever on late night TV).
3. Conan
4. Leno - was great before his whole "coming back" thing
5. Fallon - "talking bout chest hair, talking bout crazy gold medallions" He is growing on me.
5. Ferguson - tied with Fallon (seems to be a pretty good dude and is quick witted)
7. Kimmel - he just gets on my nerves for some odd reason
8. Chevy Chase - yes, he had a short-lived show. I shudder to think about it.
9. Pat Sajak - of Wheel of Fortune fame - short-lived as well.
10. Arsenio Hall - truly awful but had a following
