Well by-and-large those late-night variety shows stink.

Conan is pretty funny, but he's on so darn late.

Letterman has his moments but his shtick is so completely exhausted that it's utterly predictable.

Leno is thoroughly and totally unfunny. And he's annoying as all hell. The worst part about him isn't his lame monologues, it's the fact that he never lets his guests speak. The constant interrupting of them to try and poke fun at them comes off as insecure. It's like if he's scared that if he relents on his persona he won't be able to be get the laughs back.

Fallon... meh... I didn't even know he was still around. Outside of an ensemble I'm not sure he'll be that funny. He'll probably just seem awkward.
