WHERE THE FUCK IS TREVOR
Bill Maher is an intellectual , really? He is an opionionated Zionist MF.I don't understand how can someone support Israel an claim to be a liberal.
1. Craig
2. Conan
Fallon doesn't even deserve to be on the list
Conan should be number 1. I know that you cant argue opinions but Watchmojo, your opinions suck.
Stewart is easily the most important television figure of the last 30 years. There is no doubt that he should be number one among late night hosts
How can you possibly not include Ferguson? Fallon couldn't hold his shoes.
Yup, Letterman#2 Carson#1
#1 is always some old fuck no one cares about anymore….. sick of this shit
why the fuck is stewart number 4?!?!?!?
Stefan Raab #1
I would pick:
-Conan and Stewart for still going strong
-Craig Ferguson and Letterman for what once was
-John Oliver and James Cordon for what could be one day
-And Graham Norton for totally being underrated (he is kicking ass in the UK this whole time)
Colbert should be top 3
there is a bunch of stuff I think it is wrong, Jonathan Ross maybe ok but he is not better than Graham Norton or Craig Ferguson, even though I hate Leno he was first in ratings most of his run you can not put him behind Kimmel, I dont think Maher is worthy of a place in the list, I forgive them not going with John Oliver because it was 2014, the list should be 10. Fallon 9. Norton 8. Kimmel 7. Ferguson 6. Leno 5. Colbert 4. Stewart 3. Conan 2. Letterman 1. Carson. The thing is Craig Ferguson does not get the respect he deserves he altered the format, he mocked at the late night cliches and he made a mix of improv with late night and made awkward silence funny
Watchmojo fail to see the true brilliance of Craig Ferguson, they don't get that he is mocking the genre but even if you don't understand that he is still the best interviewer with the possible exception of Graham Norton who was also a grievous exemption from this woefully uncritical list.
I'm so happy to see so many comments praising Conan, my absolute favorite one of all.
Jay Leno shouldn't have been selected
Conan is a legend
This is very accurate
I love Jimmy kimmel
jimmy fallon is the worst host.
Team Coco > Rest
letterman is a genius and a true legend of late night television
