Late Night Talk Shows Topic - VGF

Phenom · 08-22-2004, 06:44 PM

Having just bought Conan's 10th Anniversary Special on DVD today, I thought I'd make this topic. There's a handful of Late Night shows that grace our TV's in the dead of night such as Leno, Stewart, Letterman, Kimmel, Kilborne(sp?), O'Brien among others. Which one do you like best, and what are some of your favorite segments they have done?

Personally, I'm all about Conan. I find his monologues are the best, and his segments, although bizarre at times, are hilarious (Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, Frankenstein wastes a minute of our time). I also think Max Weinberg is the best sidekick.

Anyways, discuss and all that good stuff.

Conan is awesome.

Anyone else see his fake "Celebrity Storybooks"?

The Famous Mr. Horsehead · 08-22-2004, 08:10 PM

Conan's good, and if the Daily Show counts, that's hillarious. Leno as well.

Those are pretty much the only ones I've seen. Well, Letterman, too, but he's not that great.

Super Shy Guy · 08-22-2004, 08:19 PM

Conan's the best hands down.

Tonberry2k · 08-22-2004, 09:25 PM

Jon Stewart is definately my favorite. Conan would be funnier if he didn't know he WAS funny. Because he thinks he's so funny, he comes off being less funny. Still a good show though.
Leno is okay if not just for the Roadside Attractions.

Oh, and Carson Daily = no thanks.

That was hilarious. Ruben Studdard's book was something like "One Fish, Two Fish, A side of beef, two eggs etc." I know that wasn't it but it was hilarious.

The Daily Show definately counts as I listed Stewart in the opening post. That too is among my favorites as well. I agree with Conan being less funny as he knows he's funny, but I still like 'im.

Hell yea, I almost pissed on myself laughing so hard...

Tonberry2k · 08-22-2004, 11:11 PM

The best thing on Conan is the "Celebrity Secrets".

Michael Caine:
"I always thought the "MC" in MC Hammer stood for Michael Caine. When it found out it didn't... I destroyed his career."

Super Shy Guy · 08-22-2004, 11:23 PM

I didn't know the Daily Show counted. That ties with Conan.

Sloth Master 2000 · 08-22-2004, 11:29 PM

Conan.. Thats all I'm going to say.

My favorite was Gwyneth Paltrow on his tenth anniversary show.

does Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn count? If so, that show sucks.

**Wyborn** · 08-24-2004, 05:41 PM

Personally I'm still a fan of Leno.

Beam Yosho the Drunkard · 08-24-2004, 07:17 PM

Conan's my favorite. I also like Jon Stewart and Jay Leno.

It's not the show that sucks. It's Colin Quinn.

Super Shy Guy · 08-25-2004, 03:40 PM

Seriously. I think he should be grateful that Jimmy Fallon came to do Weekend Update on SNL after he left, so that someone could suck at it more than him.

Most of the regulars on the show get on my nerves too. The fat black guy's constant *****ing about how the white man keeps him down is annoying.

The Famous Mr. Horsehead · 08-25-2004, 06:29 PM

Colin Quinn sucks. He's just not funny.

Yeah, Patrice can be pretty annoying, but I like some of the other regulars like Rich Vos (most of the time), Keith Robinson, Jim Norton (sometimes), Nick Di Paulo, and Greg Giraldo.
