The Real Buffalo Joe Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 This whole debate is really just over who's number 2 to Carson. But with all the talk about Colbert, wanted to see what everybody thought.
Beerball Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Johnny Dave everybody else. Close this mother down.
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted February 13, 2015 Author Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) Johnny Dave everybody else. Close this mother down. I agree on Johnny which is why he wasn't even in the poll. Every other host after him is a Johnny copycat. That's not even an insult as they all openly and proudly admit to it. Dave got stale about ten years ago.

ricojes Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 This whole debate is really just over who's number 2 to Carson. But with all the talk about Colbert, wanted to see what everybody thought. You really think Carson Daly is #1....He really annoys me, but to each his own...
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted February 13, 2015 Author Posted February 13, 2015 You really think Carson Daly is #1....He really annoys me, but to each his own... That'd be funny if I didn't make the same joke in the shoutbox ten minutes ago. Lol.

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted February 13, 2015 Author Posted February 13, 2015 Johnny Dave everybody else. Close this mother down. If you do, I better get my $5 poll starting fee back. You can keep the $2.00 thread fee though. Fair is fair.
KD in CA Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Johnny Dave everybody else. Close this mother down. Agreed, if this was 15 years ago. Letterman is stale and creepy now. Kimmel is the funniest. Fallon is pretty good too. And it's trendy to dump on Leno, but he knew how to deliver.

But his sketches were mediocre, and his interviewing skills are downright boring.
4merper4mer Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 What about the Redhead cereal killer from San Diego and her brother? I hear she does late nights on Skype.
Buftex Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 His monologue was great. He delivered better than anyone on the list. But his sketches were mediocre, and his interviewing skills are downright boring. Gotta say, you could make the same critique of all of these guys...none of them are great interviewers. If we are asking who "is" the best, right now, I think Kimmels' show has the most laughs...who "was" the best, other than Carson? I would say Dave, in his prime...but that was a while ago. Also, back in the 90's, Costas had a great talk-show...one guest for a half an hour...they could make anybody seem interesting. The only time I have ever seen Charlie Watts, by himself, sit down for any extended interview of any kind. Truthfully, I think this whole talk-show format is kind of dead, at this point...I rarely watch any of them beyond the monologue or opening sketches...unless there is a musical guest that I want to see. I would add to the list Graham Norton. If you are bored, and get BBC America on Demand, check out his show. The guy is pretty funny, but what is best about his show, he has four guests, they all come out together, and they just banter amongst themselves. It can be pretty entertaining.

I haven't watch much of Fallon, but he does some original things with his guests. I'd have to look up the interview with Charlie Watts. He always seemed like an odd fit for a group like the Stones. Personality wise. Never seemed like much of a partier.
Nanker Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Steve Allen. He created the role. The man was a genius.

Actually, I guess looks can be deceiving...Charlie had a huge coke and heroin problem...he is just a pretty mild-mannered guy, so nobody would suspect it...if you ever read Keith Richards auto-biography "Life", there are some pretty wild Charlie stories in there... my favorite being him trying to toss Jagger over a hotel balcony, because he referred to the Stones as "my band"...

That was a great book. I loved the story of him and Ronnie almost burning down the Playboy mansion without even noticing.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Misleading thread title. I thought this was going to be about escort services.
Maury Ballstein Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 Dave until the end, then I gotta go with Kimmel and his aunt Chippy.
