A lot of us can't watch Letterman because he spends so much time stumping for BH Obama. We don't want to hear it.

Craig Ferguson is the best in my opinion. I was saying WTF when they announced he would take over that show but he is really doing an amazing job. If he had Letterman's spot he would easily be #1 within 2 weeks. He said he is gonna leave when Dave leaves though. Maybe if they give him enough money he might stick around. But I hate CBS so I hope he goes to another net and CBS goes all the way down the crapper along with all the rest of their crap.

Hahahha Red States love Leno. Well that says it all doesn't it.

i can trace the point when leno passed letterman. in april 1993, david was ahead. i was watching the night that leno gave a heartfelt and tearful statement directly to the camera, of how much he loved his dad and mom, both of whom died within a month of each other. leno showed human warmth and sensitivity. i felt it and apparently middle america did. red states love leno.

I love Letterman, although admittedly more because of familiarity than how funny it is. Conan is funny but incredibly repetitive. For the life of me though, I do not understand why people watch Leno, it's not funny, the interviews aren't much good, I just don't see what it has going for it - other than being on before Conan.

Craig Ferguson is the one to replace Letterman. He's the funniest host on TV. Great wit, works without a net and has a very good interviewing style. My one grip with his show is that he doesn't spend enough time with his guests.

Terrible shows, movies and music albums are always beating superior products in ratings/sales. This is nothing new. Letterman is/was/will be far better than Leno.

Wasn't Letterman in repeats all last week?

Letterman gets all the respect so I don't think he needs the ratings that Leno pulls in, who gets zero respect. I hope that Leno moves to ABC -- where he will still win the night. Conan is just not right for the tonight show and I will just be anxiously awaiting Leno to have a late night talk show of his own again and get the respect that he deserves. By the way, if you guys have not caught Craig Ferguson -- he is hilarious, not surprised but elated that he is beating conan.

The writing on Letterman isn't always terrible. It's just that they've made the stylistic choice for all of their jokes outside of a bit to be not funny. It's an interesting choice, not one I'd pick, but whatever.

Seriously, get rid of the stupid "ooh, what will the new sound effect be" idiocy, get rid of the random "weird sounds happening that clearly even Dave doesn't find funny" and get rid of the self-referential garbage.

Maybe even get new writers.
