I am going to pull a Marc...

I never got the appeal of Jay Leno.
He is cheesey and not funny, but he consistanly draws more viewers.

I bet within a year, maybe two, Jimmy Kimmel will bust through the 2.0 HH rating. His show is the funniest of the 3. I wonder if ratings would be dramatically better (up 1 point or more) if he started at 11:35pm?

I actually think Craig Kilborn is the funniest of all of them. I also find Leno's stand up better than Letterman.

Leno's sidekicks add a lot to the show. Kevin Eubanks is pretty funny. Leno is fairly generic and does seem to recycle the same jokes over and over. And mushu probably meant Craig Ferguson whom I cannot stand.

Leno doesn't recyle old jokes. He just recycles the content of the joke to make a new one. Big Difffeeereencccee!

Yes I did mean Ferguson. I find his quirkiness a lot more tolerable than Conans.

Jimmy Kimmel is my favorite of the late night hosts... I like his casual approach and sense of humor.
