I hate republicans just as much as Letterman but I still find his shots to be ignorant and sorely lacking in creativity. Letterman is the worst late night show by a pretty large margin.

He's too much like Kimmel and Colbert. He's turned his show way too much into politics. I don't find him funny at all. It shows in his ratings too as Leno has been kicking his ass ever since Leno got The Tonight Show gig over Letterman. Good choice

Honestly I can't believe him or Leno are still on the air. Letterman still does the Top 10 every night and that hasn't been funny in decades. I haven't watched in about a year and when I last did it looked like even him and Paul were bored.

I like Jay Leno. I know nothing about Letterman's politics but he is just not funny at all.

Letterman was pretty good up until Sept. 11, 2001. After that, his shows took on an overtly political tone and became less funny and more preachy.

I personally like Leno better, but the only late night talk I'll watch is Conan or Ferguson if I'm up late enough.

his old show was great.he had stevie ray vaughn on one time and it was great.it was the first time i had seen srv on anything.srv had this guitar mounted on this big spring mounted to the floor.it was crazy,he would throw the guitar at the ground and it would come right back to him and during that time he was playing his ars off.

thats one thing dl used to do,he gave up and coming bands their first break in tv.blues travelers was on there alot before they got their big break.

Letterman > Leno IMO

The only time I find Leno funny is when someone is immitating him.

I could watch Leno talk about cars for days though

I've also heard his weekly stand-up routine in LA is actually pretty funny.
