This show is gonna keep declining probably. Stewart was the best. Noah was not nearly as funny and his jokes were practically indistinguishable from the rest of the late night comedy shows of the time (Kimmel, Fallon, Seth Meyers) - and now with Noah leaving, it will probably get worse. Probably my pessimism - and I can't say I'm a regular viewer any more.

Stephen Colbert late show is pretty good, Kimmel and fallon and meyers too. But I dont watch any of them anymore since I haven't had cable tv since 2013, I just sometimes watch what they upload to YouTube.

Craig Ferguson has been out of the game for years at this point but he was the only late night host worth a damn since Conan went to cable.

I gotta disagree on Colbert, he's probably the most unfunny, unlikeable host on TV these days. Which is sad, because on the Colbert Report, he used to be a lot funnier. I forgot about Conan. He's funny - John Oliver is pretty great too, even if his accent can wear on me.

Kimmel, and Meyers' "Closer Look" also turn up on Youtube but are not as funny as Colbert imo. Both of them make the mistake of cutting to an "off-stage" straightman who is completely unfunny: Kimmel has a plump Latino guy, Meyers a guy holding up prompt cards, but for me they add nothing to the humour of the segments.

The only thing good about Kimmel is the mean tweets bit and that is other people's content.

Well, that clip really makes your point, SGR! Complete filler material, embarrassing to someone like me who has just been singing Colbert's praises. My tip: stick to the monologues, which have more actual jokes per minute.
