Adam Carolla is the best thing since Johnny Carson. Possibly better and I mean it. Creative and curious interviewer, naturally funny and an independent thinker. A classic American original. His podcast makes me happy.

David who?

Watched Letterman off and on for a few years WAAAAAYYYY back in the day when I was going to college by day and working 2nd shift by night. I'd come home and catch a few episodes back before Letterman was wearing his politics on his sleeve. I use to enjoy the Chris Elliot episodes of his “Guy Under The Seats” shtick.

So he'll stop hitting on subordinates young enough to be his granddaughter at that point? “World Wide Pants” indeed!

I didn't realize he was still on TV...

This is happening about fifteen years past his funny expiration date.

Jay Leno is free! :)

I love it! CBS's Late Night would crush NBC's Tonight Show. Plus, CBS would be able to crow for years about getting Leno.

Hopefully Craig Ferguson will move into his slot, he’s the best of all the Late Night talk show hosts.

Couldn't agree more. Endlessly creative!

Ferguson is too old and the biggest homophile on Late Night.

I don’t think his deconstructing the late night talk show schtik and his gay robot plus no house band will play well at 11:30.

When CBS hired Ferguson Michael Ian Black came in second.

He was too young back then.

He is now 42. I hope it is Black.

Should have quit about 10 years ago. Used to be funny...not since he became politically melded to the lefttards.

Don’t forget when Carson actually stole Letterman’s truck off the street.

Haven't seen that, but I'll sure look for it. Thanks for the tip!

Top Ten Reasons I don't watch Letterman:

10: He's on after I'm in bed.

9: He thinks he's funny

8:There are better things to listen to, like your spouse.

7:He got boring

6:There are better things to do, enjoying your spouse.

5:The guests think they are the best things on tv. < p>4:He's no Jay Leno. < p>3: He got old, but not smarter.

2:He is a typical Liberal < p> and 1:His Top Ten are stupid mostly.

“Pat Sajak is a pretty funny guy but I think they’ll find him slumped over the wheel.”

Pat Sajak is way to conservative for that gig!
