Letterman or Leno?
 

For those who either or:

I've had this discussion several times, and I wanted to know your guys' opinion. I'm sorry, though I'm a west coast guy, Jay Leno is not funny. His monolouge isn't funny, his skits aren't funny, and his interviewing skills are subpar. Throughout his monolouge all he gets is sympathy applause and no laughs. The only thing I'll watch is headlines, which isn't technically HIS own work.

Dave, on the other hand, is very witty and smart yet can appeal to a younger/immature audience. He can turn a bad situation into a funny one. His interviewing skills are great, he actually at least acts like he's interested in what they're saying. Dave should have gotten the Tonight Show.

So, Letterman or Leno?

Letterman, by far.

Leno just bores me and his chin distracts me.

It's not like I usually can stay up for either, though, because I have to get up at 6 AM. :)

Can't stand either.

yeah there is nothing like Letterman's Top Ten - too funny

so yeah its Dave for me :)

Letterman all the way!!!! (Could that have something to do with the fact that I'm in Letterman-Land (Ball State U)???) LOL

Both Suck!


Show I loved was Politically Correct with Bill M! Got booted but is coming back on I think HBO!

Thank god for reruns of MASH, 3 rd Rock, Seinfeld (Yea Kramer)!!!!!

Letterman!

Letterman

Letterman all the way!!!

However, I also like Jimmy Kimmel

LETTERMAN :)

I have been a David Letterman fan since NBC. :D :cool: :) Poor guy has singles. :( Get well soon, Dave.

edited to add: I mean he has SHINGLES! My sister had it and it was awful. :(

Wow! I am in the minority here. I can't stand Letterman. He just gets on my nerves. I don't like Paul his band leader either.

As for Jay, I like his show and his jokes. He has some great guests!!! I am glad that he took over for Johnny Carson. BUT NO ONE CAN EVER REPLACE JOHNNY!!!!

???? :confused:

I think they meant "shingles"

"Shingles (Herpes Zoster)

What Happens



Pain usually occurs 1 to 3 days before the bandlike rash (or rashes) appears on one side of the body.1 The rash develops over a period of 1 to 2 days and resembles a band or belt across a section of the body, typically on one side only. Blisters ooze and crust over after 5 days and heal completely within 2 to 4 weeks.

After the rash heals, ongoing pain (postherpetic neuralgia, or PHN) may persist in the areas where the rash occurred.
Mild skin scarring may occur in some people.
Most healthy people recover from shingles without any long-term complications.
Having an attack of shingles does not protect a person from having another attack of shingles in the future. However, most people who get shingles once typically do not get it again.

Complications of shingles

Shingles is a relatively short-term disease (usually lasts a few weeks). Most healthy people recover from shingles without any long-term complications. However, when complications do develop, they can be severe and long-lasting"


yeah nasty stuff :(

Letterman rules the universe. Leno was funny as a stand up, before he sold his soul to get the Tonight Show. Now he's just lame - his funniest thing is reading headlines out of the paper.

I would have to pick Letterman out of the two--top ten is usually pretty good.
However, my favorite is the Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Somewhat goofy, but always funny.

I agree about the Daily Show with Jon Stewert!

I'd have to go Letterman over Leno overall, but I love Leno's Headlines and Jay Walking.

singles?? what is so bad about having one dollar bills??:p

i love letterman!! leno is no where near funny.

my fav thing of letterman: when he did 'know your cuts of meat':D

I meant shingles. ;) It was late and was tired. :p

Count me in as a Letterman fan! I love his sense of humor! Leno is just annoying!

I also love Jon Stewart and his correspondents. (Even Steven anyone?) :D

Neither...
 

Conan. :)

Definitely David Letterman!:)

Letterman:D

LETTERMAN!!! LETTERMAN LETTERMAN!


BET YOU CANT TELL WHAT SCHOOL I AM FROM?! GO BALL STATE!

Re: Neither...
 

I like Conan. My sister and I were sad when he got married. :(

Did any of you ever see when Ball State was doing well in Basketball, and Dave said "All games are played at Dave Letterman Arena" And they showed this pictre of like a temple/parthenon looking place? I thought that was really funny.

Oh, and by the way, I know that Dave is a Sigma Chi, is Jay Lame-O a greek? If not, there's ANOTHER reason Dave rules and Moonchin boy sucks.

Both are fine, but I tend to watch Leno. I like the "Jay Walking" and misunderstood ads segments.

Leno

33girl...I completely agree!

I love David Letterman. He's funny, witty, and kind of cute in that older, goofy sort of way. I would love to go to his show.:)

neither..i prefer conan

Jay Bites!
 

Dave all the way!

I used to watch him all the time. But now that I'm in bed about the same time his show comes on it doesn't work. I end up watching the Daily Show a lot cause they rerun it the next evening.

Ok, for all of you who don't like either and prefer Conan, what do you watch before Conan comes on?

Oh, and, I don't see how anyone can like Jaywalking.

That people don't know common knowledge stuff is pretty sad to me, I cringe when I watch it because it goes to show how dumb a lot of people are. Just like Street Smarts.

I've always liked Letterman better. I remember hearing a report comparing Letterman and Leno and the report said that Letterman is much more creative than Leno. That has always stayed with me when I watch Letterman and Leno (if he has guests I like).

I also like the segments when Letterman talks to his mother via satellite. It's amusing to see him try to guess what kind of pie she baked for Thanksgiving. She's so cute!

I'll keep Craig Kilborn on after Letterman. He is amusing, sometimes.

Letterman!

In college my roommate & I were faithful viewers of Letterman. (followed by reruns of "Married with Children")

My boyfriend loves Leno's "headlines" (which are funny), so we watch Leno once a week.

Nothing - I study or spend time with my hubby. :)

Conan.
Leno's trash, give that talking dog his time slot.

Letterman... all the way.

Gotta give props to Conan and the NEWEST late night host, Jimmy Kimmel. I crack up at both of their shows. I especially enjoy the randomness of Jimmy Kimmel's show cuz it's different. Like one night there was this slighty overweight, practically balding performer on that started dancing with these hot chics. The next thing you know, he's all stripping down to his UNDERWARE and is dancing like he don't care who is watching. It was just so funny cuz you'd probably NEVER see that on Leno or Letterman!

Bump

O'Brien and the other guy on late late ight are valid, as is Jon Stewart....
