The current state of Late Night TV
Now that Jay Leno has retired from The Tonight Show and Conan O'Brien is just too goofy for my taste, I thought I would give David Letterman one more chance. I stopped watching him a year or so ago because I ceased to enjoy the content and direction that he has taken his show. My one more chance was short lived though. I didn't even make it through one show before I found myself getting annoyed at him rather than being entertained by him. So far Jimmy Kimmel and Carson Daily just don’t hold my attention either.
I am looking forward to Jay Leno’s new show at 10PM but I will probably miss it more often than I catch it because I usually don’t start to watch TV until the 11 O’clock news comes on. I just may have to get a TiVo or a DVR. So what is your take on Late Night TV? Do you think any of it worth watching anymore?

I have been a fan of Conan for many years now, and I am glad he took over for Jay, whom I did not find that funny. I enjoy Conan's self-deprecating and silly style, although I understand he is not everyone's cup of tea.

Another Conan fan, here. It just clicks for me.

I'm so oldschool I stopped watching late night TV when JC retired and never got back into the habit again.

I've had the opposite effect...I couldn't stand Leno. Conan, however, cracks me up. To each his own. I liked Dave when he was on NBC, but man...that was a long time ago. I still appreciate him, though...but don't watch all that much.

I was a Mike Yarwood fan. Nothing interesting since then.

Never did like Conan.. he just seemed like one of those weird NYC freaks.. Kind of like Sinefeld and all his strange friends...
Jay was OK, but I still didn't watch him much. I watched Johnny all the time. I miss him and Ed... but I did like Kevin with Jay... Never was a David fan either... he was just too dry... and Paul... um.. ok...

I find myself more often than not watching Charlie Rose on our PBS station. He comes on here at 11pm. It is pretty amazing the wide number of subjects that he and his guests explore. Without all the drama and screaming that often takes place on other "talk" shows.

Still a Letterman fan. I've always enjoyed his sense of humor. Any one ever catch Graham Norton on BBC America??
