Who is (or was) your favorite late night talk show host?

I was lucky to catch Johnny Carson before he retired, I liked him, but didn't love him. I enjoy Conan O'Brien, he's the only one I can tolerate.

I'd say Conan was a good replacement for Carson. Even though no one can replace Carson, obviously. He was a man of his time. I also think Joan Rivers did great with her stint as a late night host as well.

I was gonna ask that same "But Johnny retired in 92, how did...." Q but was beaten to the punch! D

Johnny was the undisputed King of Late Night, but for a diablo growing up in the 80s, Dave was mi hombre. The sheer comedic genius of his NBC-era show cannot and will never be matched. Ask any late night host working today, including the fabulous SAM BEE!
