    Leno's garbage.

    Conan was the best. Kimmel 2nd best.

    I've been going to bed with Dave since Late Night. He's the best.

    That's what she said!

    I heard he's the favorite but I haven't seen much of him when he's not doing his faux conservative schtick.

    Sad to hear, Letterman is my favorite. Leno isn't funny to me at all.

    I like Conan though, hope he gets Letterman's spot.

    They need to try something different like Chelsea Handler. The late night talk show format is tired.

    But something tasteful that the kids could enjoy if they stayed up late. Late 80's style, such wonderful plots. This should replace letterman. And, I think Dave would agree!

    They'll probably offer Kimmel a ton of money to jump ship

    I imagine that Ferguson might be Letterman's choice as successor. Supposedly there is a deal in place that if someone else gets hired ahead of him, Ferguson gets a big payout. For that reason alone I think the channel might be inclined to let him have a go at it first. I think he's great but Colbert would also be an excellent choice. Two very different comedians--Ferguson being more like Letterman, Colbert like Fallon (in that he's an actor, singer/musician, and comedian). The bottom line is Letterman is irreplaceable so the show is going to have to be very different.

    Ted Koppel and Phil Donahue should alternate.

    Or Johnny Carson's son could give it a go with Joan Rivers.

    I've never liked letterman. I find him very boring.

    Jimmy Fallon is absolutely killing it right now.
