Who's your favorite late night tv host, Jay Leno, or David Letterman? I like Letterman, although Leno's pretty good too. (I like the stupid pet tricks, and the stupid people tricks.)

I watch them both once in a while and both can be good. After watching Letterman for a while I get a bit tired of him but Leno always makes me laugh. I love the Jaywalk lol

I think they're both pretty funny! Guess who I watch probably depends on the mood I'm in, or who the guests are for the evening. Thanks for responding!

I watch them both, it depends on the guest. I miss Johnny Carsen, he was the best.

I don't watch either one very often, but if I had to choose I'd pick Lettermen.

That's usually all I watch of Leno too, seems like the best part is when he does his monologue in the beginning. Jimmy Kimmel...haven't watched him in a long time, will have to check him out again!

Jay Leno is the one who most makes me giggle. I love his headlines routine. Also, he seems to be genuinely interested in the guests (even if he is not) instead of making the whole show about him and his life. I like the whole 'every man' kind of feel. : )

Gotta admit, I like Jay's headlines bit too. He does treat his guests nicely and with with respect. Some of his guests must push him to his limits though, yet he's kind all the way through.

I think I like Letterman more but sometimes I watch Leno. It just depends on the guests.

Personally for me, mine will always be Jay Leno. I will miss him on the Tonight Show when Conan Obrien takes over, and that show will never be the same. For me I just always can relate more with Jay and Love all of the entertaining guests he has had their on his show over the yrs. as well.

Hubby and I usually don't watch very much TV. Sometimes we sit down around 10:30 or 11: 00 and watch something we have recorded. We do like to catch Leno's monologue and whatever funny thing he does immediately after. We are particularly fond of his 'Headlines' segment. Often during commercials we will flip to Letterman, but not for long. For some reason I just don't find him as funny as Leno. I will really miss Leno when he retires. I haven't watched much of his successor (Conan) but what I have seen I didn't like.

Neither. I never liked Leno because I never thought he was funny and he has way too many cars. Cars don't interest me anymore than his lame attempt at humor. Letterman I used to like, but of late (no pun intended) i find him rude and boring. It seems he's going through motions he's tired of going through. Maybe he's too tired to poop. Maybe that's why he seems rude. I don't know. Maybe It's simple me bored with his humor. Anyway, either way, neither of them keep me up at night.

I like Leno less and less as the years hav gone by. I started this discussion 3 years ago, and I probably haven't really watched him since. His humor just isn't funny. I also think Dave has gone downhill the past few years too. You're right, I think he's become rude and boring too. Maybe it's one of those things where he's just tired of having to do it every night, at any rate, he has become boring instead of giving the comedic quips like he used to. I'd rather watch re-runs of almost anything than to tune in and watch either one of them anymore. Thanks for your response loralee!
