Default Re: Late night talk host.- Who\'s the best?

George Carlin didn't host a talk show and Carson seems tremendously overrated. I watched him daily for many years and don't think I ever laughed at a single joke in one of his monologues, and everybody else I know had the same experience. It was actually somewhat amazing, as if he were going for a world record or something. That saying that even a busted clock is right twice a day comes to mind. But with Johnny, his monologues were never funny. He was okay as a host, though, but often struck me as a little removed, and at times seemed to barely pay attention to this guests and not be too respectful to non-celebrity guests. He could also be very cold to comics.
