The problem with the Late Night shows is that they have become incredibly dull. Mostly these shows merely serve as a platform for the celebrities to promote their latest "project." What happened to the old days when celebrities used to hang out on the couch when another one would come on so they could interact? Nowadays, the egos of those ridiculous celebs won't allow them to do this. I saw a documentary featuring Jack Paar and watching his conversations with the guests was quite fascinating (the best interviews being with Jonathan Winters and Oscar Levant).

Hopefully, Howard Stern would reverse this trend of dullness. (Also he would definitely end the process of "pre-interviewing" guests which sucks the spontaneity out of such talk shows.)

Agreed. Of course, there is the FCC and Brent Bozell to worry about, too. Hopefully, Bush Jr. will leave well-enough alone. Heck, why hasn't Bush gone on Howard's show?

Screw the celebrities. Bring back the Channel 9 show format.
