Stephen Colbert

Colbert is pretty great. So there!

Fallon is brilliant. I'm neither young nor old (49) I think. I'm not a huge Colbert fan. I've seen some snippets and I'd agree with the fact that I think he's a better interviewer than Fallon. I watched the Joe Biden interview and it was great. And I'm not a Biden fan in any way. Fallon is more of an SNL type skit show but the things he does are unparalleled on night shows. That's why his ratings are through the roof.

I'm 41 and I love Colbert and Fallon. Though I was young, I did love Carson. Leno was terrible IMO, Letterman was OK.

Love Colbert and can tolerate Fallon. What I can't tolerate however is all the people who seem to be in love with Fallon and think everything he does is absolutely amazing.

sorry.....

I can certainly find them all funny, Fallon for 2-3 minutes at a time can be entertaining, but if I have to watch for a 1/2 hour or more the arrogance and self love just kills me. Carson seemed to have just the right amount of arrogance and charisma, maybe its an unfair measuring stick.

All these guys pretty much worship Johnny Carson, but in the end they can't be him and they just have to do what they're good at doing.

Myself, I grew up on Letterman at 12:30 after Carson. Hated Leno, gravitated to Conan O'Brien when Letterman got neutered in the 11:30 slot, and eventually found myself drawn to the Jon Stewart / Stephen Colbert duo on Comedy Central.

Hoping Colbert doesn't find himself neutered while tackling the 11:30 network slot. I'll be honest, I know he's no longer in "character", but he seems pretty watered down far. I thought he handled Donald Trump with kid gloves last night. They were both playing a little too nicey nice with each other. Hopefully he just needs to find the right stride and settle in better.

I'm a little disappointed with The Wilmore Show that replaced Colbert on Comedy Central. Just doesn't have much pop to it. Hoping Trevor Noah fills in for Jon Stewart a little better on The Daily Show.

Todays version of Conan O'Brien along with Jimmy Kimmel, both do lots of great "bits", but I don't have the patience to sit through their entire shows. Not a fan of Fallon. I love his band, but he seems a bit too much of a try-hard, everybody please love me type of guy to me.
