If you had to choose? Some are not doing it anymore. one is dead. who is yours?
Kimmel has always been the funniest, and having Guillermo as his sidekick really was a good move. He's also been very diverse and open-minded, like having Shaq host for him for a good minute, plus Kimmel can make everyone laugh who comes on there. For some reason Fallon has always creeped me out and I don't know why. Conan always annoyed me with his hyper behavior, a very old '90s style of comedy that was popular with others like Jim Carrey and Chris Tucker, I guess to get people more excited or something, but really makes you feel exhausted and I'm glad it faded out for the most part.
Colbert has great political jokes but Trevor Noah trumps this man by miles. Letterman never really entertained me, and he often got bad press for saying rude things to or about people. But I can say he tended to have the best music artists perform on his stage, Stone Temple Pilots doing "Unglued" on there around Christmas was a pretty good show. Leno was not too bad although he could be a bit crude. Honestly never really saw much of Johnny Carson, just a few minutes here and there.
That's a hard list to chose from, but in order, I'd probably say: Conan O'Brien, Johnny Carson, Stephen Colbert, David Letterman, Jay Leno, Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel. With that said, I probably watched Letterman the most over the years.
The first late night talk show I got into was Kimmel, then Fallon came onto the scene and I made the "Jimmy switch". I haven't watched late night shows in years, but I guess I'd consider the two Jimmy's to be my favorite. 😄

I've only ever seen them on youtube, is it true that in a 2 hour slot, they are on screen for less than an hour?
Stephen Colbert is extremely good. CBS did right in having him take over from Letterman.
Leno's my fave of 'em all, followed closely by Conan.
Don't watch late night talk shows but will go Jay Leno, since I'm a fan of Jay Leno's garage.
The only one I ever watched was Conan, but that is going back to the 90s.
i used to love jay leno and conan o’brien back to back
Jay Leno was always my favorite talk show host
Conan and jimmy fallon
Carson is in a class above all the others.
The OG, of course.
