Late Night TV Hosts
I looked but didn't see a topic like this, so sorry if it's been done. It's late at night and this is the only TV I really think is worth watching anymore (and even that's disputable).
I don't really know any non-American hosts for the poll, but they're obviously welcome in the discussion. |
gilbert godfried

i watched that colbert report for the first time the other day.. i smirked for a bit and turned it off..... he aint no chris morris as i was led to believe!
|
i like conan.
|
Rove McManus is the closest I know to a late night TV host, so I'll go with him.
|
as for non us hosts... jonathon ross is always good for a laugh if you can get over his sex jokes....
the friday night project is ok. us irish had the longest running tv chat show host for decades.. he is a national institution and an amazing interviewer, he could literally get blood out of a stone and never ever stopped short on asking probing questions.. he was brilliant.. mr gay byrne  the virgin prunes on gay byrnes late late show its hard to finsd any great interviews like the gerry adams one and the ian paisley one..legends... he retired in 1999 and we got pat the plank kenny..... this classic clip from a couple of years ago sums him up.. one of the funniest things ive evr seen on live irish telly pat the plank kenny gets interrupted |
I chose Craig Ferguson, because he's scottish and I like scottish people because my grandma is scottish and reminds me of her, even though she's not really a very nice woman.

They're a dying breed. Seriously, in another 5 years, there will be no more late night talk shows.
Mark my words. |

Maybe not in the US. In the UK, I think the Jonathan Ross show will be going on for decades more. People can swear freely on British TV and talk about more interesting things. |
There are also less of them in the UK, and they're on less frequently so there's less barrel scraping going on. Jonathan Ross is a twat though and it's a shame he's pretty much got the only talk show on TV at the moment.

I am always partial to letterman. I like that he does not care.

You have to be a twat, really. I love how he blatantly takes the piss out of all of his guests, to their faces. Yes, he can be self-indulgent, but he has to be to fill up an hour-long show when his guests are cunts like Adele and Agyness Deyn. Oh, and The Graham Norton Show has some good guests! He had John Waters on the other week, and Harry Shearer. |
Jonathan Ross has been hosting chat shows for about 20 years now, and he never used to be a twat.
Somebody made the mistake of telling him he was funny and he believed them...because he's a twat. |
I don't mind Graham Norton so much. He does have some good guest.
|
Ah, whatever floats your boat. I'm not saying he isn't a twat, I'm saying TV turns you into one and it's sort of unavoidable in the end. He's a nice twat.

the charlie rose show is my favorite and only "talk show", if that qualifies.
of course he's an annoying prick but he's got the best guests-- smart people who know a lot about what they are talking about. and no soundbytes. which is always refreshing. like look at this geek:  lots of good shit archived: http://www.charlierose.com/home |
i like letterman cause he's an asshole, but i don't usually watch tv.
