What's Your Reaction?
Late Night

Hi everybody! I've been gone for awhile, I know, but now that the weather has begun to cool down I can return to the warm embrace of the Late Night Round-Up. Our beloved comics have had a restful August and are ready to serve up some lip-smacking late night jokes to you, readers.

They all return to the airwaves tonight, but some were so eager they simply had to start last week. Letterman, Conan and Kimmel are featured today, and it's a fine appetizer that leaves us hotly anticipating the full comedic buffet when the rest of our heroes return tonight.

So, to the jokes! Did you know that California is so broke it held a garage sale? Seriously, the state threw the contents of its attic onto the front yard and begged people to buy it. Conan and Kimmel tackle this garage (fire?) sale, and there is nothing quite so awesome as Conan's Schwarzenegger impression.

Letterman, poor fellow, had to take a second job because of the recession...at Walmart. We must say he has the height to pull off their trademark vest, but the color does not suit him at all.

It's fantastic to be back, and we look forward to enjoying a gorgeous and funny fall (ugh, fine, autumn) with all of you.

Is Letterman getting better or is his competition getting lamer?

Inquiring people want to know.

FWIW

Would you mind normalizing the volume on these clips? David's a lot louder than Kimmel and my coworkers are glaring at me now. :)

Conan is the unfunniest man on TV. He seems more suited for a funeral home greeter.

All the other late night hosts are funny, Craig Ferguson is particularly fun to watch because he is self -effacing.

Does anyone but me think Conan O'Brien is about as funny as a rectal exam?

You know, some of us actually enjoy rectal exams...

He actually use to be a lot funnier like back in the late 90's early 2000's I actually use to enjoy his show and LMAO, but nowadays not so much. He's alright.

Conan used to be extremely funny and creative on Late Night, and that show pushed the boundaries in some pretty crazy and entertaining ways. Yes, it was absurdist, frequently juvenile humor, but that's why I tuned in. I like that kind of thing.

Once Conan landed The Tonight Show, though, Late Night became considerably more tame. And when he finally took over The Tonight Show, pretty much every last vestige of the crazy old Conan went out the window in favor of the safer, more mainstream humor that the Jay Leno crowd favored. Unfortunately for Conan, Leno's fans largely don't like him, and as he tries to dumb down and sanitize his humor to try and retain those people, he's losing a lot of his old audience.

I'm a longtime fan of Conan, but The Tonight Show is just unwatchable, unfunny garbage as far as I'm concerned. It's slightly better than Leno's homogenized, white bread version of the show, at least, but that's not saying much.

Good explanation, sounds about right. I wish he would go back to his old ways and be....well, funny.
