MrMallard 09/03/23 9:08:08 PM #15:	Craig Ferguson, hands down. Conan might be one of the best people to uphold late-night TV as an institution, but Ferguson was great because of how he didn't care for late night television as an institution. He swore, he made a habit of tearing up his notes, he spoofed the concept of the late night talk show sidekick by getting a robot skeleton puppet. But on top of that, he was unflinchingly real in how he talked to his guests, and he was arguably a more serious host with the most to say when the chips were down. I've brought this up a couple times today, but this is a twelve and a half minute monologue he did in the wake of Britney Spears' breakdown where he discussed his own substance abuse, and there's a story there about on one Christmas morning he was going to go and kill himself. The barman of the pub he'd stayed at saved his life, ironically, by getting him so drunk he forgot to do it. This might be one of the greatest late night show monologues ever: https://youtu.be/K46P7loICXY?si=UoV8Jn6ML-LMZeEz And I know that people have an issue with Jimmy Fallon and how he breaks easily and seems to want to be very cute and precious about it, but when Ferguson breaks, the laughter is that sort of loud belly-laugh that booms up through the ribcage and gets you laughing along. His bits, and the parts where be screws up, are genuinely hilarious: https://youtu.be/AQhxVINuJrI?si=vkBxHNWVcdmvJqem Conan is great, but Ferguson feels somewhat antithetical to what Conan stands for and it's some of the best late night television that there's ever been. Craig Ferguson all the way. --- All I can eat is the poisonous apple, and that's not a story that I'm meant to survive. <cite>MrMallard posted [p:975843822] in Who is the...

ClayGuida 09/03/23 9:13:06 PM #16:	Conan. I only really watched them when I was in school, but Conan was hilarious. I probably watched hundreds of his episodes while the other late night guys, I maybe watched a few dozen at best. Conan was just quirky and different from the others. It's a shame he never got a true chance at being the top guy. Never really watched him on TBS, since by then, I was over late night shows. --- lolAmerica <cite>ClayGuida posted [p:975843896] in Who is the... [t:80555115]...</cite> <quote>Conan.
