Leno vs. Letterman

[doubLe a tom]

Who is the better late night talk show host?

[Brainwalter]

Conan.

Out of these two, Leno is objectively funnier but Letterman is less annoying.

Leno has easily the worst delivery of any comedian on late night television. Why do people like this guy?

Example:4. "Now when you pull into a gas station, there are two guys to assist you...two guys Kevin can you guess who they are? The attendant and the LOAN OFFICER!!!11!! LOAN OFFICER AM I RIGHT?!?!?!!!111! You know...because of rising gas prices and...you people watch the news right?!?!?!"

hmm is it 1993 already?

If it was like 6 years ago this might be kinda close, right now it's leno by far. You should have added conan though, because he wins by a landslide.

Conan is definitely my favorite... but Letterman kills Leno any day of the week. Leno is played out and corny... even when Letterman's material is weak he manages to make it funny, or mean (which is a synonymous with funny).

Who the hell voted for Leno?
Conan for sure.

I'm shocked by the love for letterman right now, maybe I should watch his show again. Last time I watched his show it was really really bad, and was basicly just ripping on republicans followed by throwing a pencil at the camera.

Letterman himself used to be a funny guy, but his material is so awful I can't watch the show at all, it's like they're not even trying, and Paul Shafer needs to die. Leno's material is actually funny once in a while if you just imagine someone else saying it.

Anyway, they're all so ridiculously played out, we need something new in late night TV (and it ain't Conan, he does the same damn "I'm a big pasty irish guy and I'm so goofy and self deprecating" shtick every night, he hasn't been funny since Richter & Triumph left)
