When Leno retires again, Fallon moves to The Late Show and Seth Meyers will take over Late Night. How do yall think he will do? I don't think he'll be as good as Fallon.

Fallon wasn't as good as conan, and meyers won't be as good as fallon. Late night, IMO, has been better than the tonight show for a while, but that's just me.

I agree with that, except i like Conan and Fallon equally. Fallon isn't "edgy" like Conan or Craig Ferguson, he fits the Tonight Show better, IMO.

Can't stand Conan, I think Fallon is the best late night host right now. Myers is funny on SNL so maybe he'll do good on late night. IMO

Conan was tons better on late night than he is now.. Too bad he can't get one of those jobs back. I miss the masturbating bear, the insult dog, the interrupter and his other characters.

I'm pretty skeptical Myers can bring it nightly. I know he's head writer at SNL, but SNL is kind hit or miss now, and he is only on screen about 10 minutes a week. Transitioning to carrying a show for an hour a night is going to be a big change. Fallon was the news guy too before Late Night, but he also was a regular performer in skits on SNL and is known for his impersonations and such. Myers has never been a big skit performer on SNL. He will have Lorne Michaels backing him so he'll have a long rope, but it wouldn't shock me if he doesn't last more than a few years.

Fallon right now for me is the funniest nightly show, but I fear he'll do like Conan when he goes to the Tonight Show. He already has been putting in some new skits that are Leno-like and they've bombed. I just hope

I'm seriously glad Leno is leaving for good this time (hopefully), and Letterman needs to follow suit. I tried watching Letterman a few nights ago and it was so boring. I assume they'll give the Late Show to Ferguson, which he's funny but he grates on me sometimes, and he relies too much on the stupid robot. Conan is still ok to me, but he's definitely not as good as he was back on Late Night.

Kimmel I haven't really watched enough to judge, but the few times I've seen he was funnier than Leno and Letterman.

Triumph still comes on a bit. but I do wish they could get In the year 3000 back and stuff like that.

NBC are still little *****es to me after the way they did him, I don't see Fallon getting much better ratings honestly.

Can't we just get Kimmel to call up Adam Carolla from wherever he's at screwing under age girls and heroin and get them to do the Man Show for a whole new generation?

It's been a long time, but prior to becoming head writer on SNL and moving to the WU desk, Myers actually a traditional cast member for several years. He played John Kerry during the 2004 presidential campaign. He was in a good number of other sketches, and the one that quickly comes to mind is that he was DJ Jonathan Feinstein on the Jarret's Room sketches.

IMO fallon is the least funny of all the late night shows. tonight shows always seemed to be a little "classier" than the others, which i know isn't quite the case anymore, but is still kind of considered the more "prestigious" of the lot. fallon doesn't have what it takes to run a credible program. that being said, probably the least credible, craig ferguson, is my favorite by a long shot

I'm a huge Conan fan, he plus Andy richter is a good way to unwind from work for me. I grab a beer and have a few laughs during the week.

My least favorite is Fallon. He just seems awkward to me most of the time

Yeah I do remember he used to be in sketches, but he just never was really that good or memorable in them. His DJ character is the only one I can remember and even then he was still mostly a background character.
