politics ruined all of htese people for me. howard stern admittedly it's been a long time. apparently howard's show is ending as his ratings have dwindled. maybe he's become don imus. a poetic yet if it's the end of the show a macabre ending. all became political. used their platforms to lash out. i trust it's a luxury of having deep pockets vs still on the rise. but at different stations in life i appreciated all three of them. i love funny. and all three to me were as clever and as funny as it gets in their own spaces. david letterman was my guy. not leno not carson. dave. i thought young dave letterman was so clever and so witty. and the man show. outstanding. carolla was brilliant. but kimmel was such a partner. together they and that show were hilarious.
but for me. no one compares to howard. he's number one. howard number one and chappelle number two. but it's a distant number two. howard is messi for me. not the tickle chair. not the dirty playboy stuff and all that. not jenny mccarthy and pamela anderson etc. but howard stern talking about jackie's salary and whether he is being adequately compensated is the apex. about fred's relationships. about how he got "gypped" over his lunch order. his interviews were a masterclass. a character without compare.
politics has really made so much worse. and it seems we're losing a generation of entertainers. old howard made soooooooooooooooooo many commutes enjoyable
Letterman is the only one I liked of the 3. Kimmel wasnt nearly as funny as Corrola on TMS. I always thought stern was just a New York asshole who seemed to treat everyone as if they were just a transaction on his climb. But Dave was one of us.
When they hosed him by going with Leno, he started his descent. Became kind of jaundiced and then full on bitter. Veered into politicsand lost me. Damn he was our generation's Carson too.

Yeah but I was never a cocksman, moonlighting as a D1 athlete with an MPA while practicing law. I was a simple man, selling tier 2 software by day and hanging sheet rock on weekends.

save the soccer that's better. trust me
I never watch any of them now and not really all that interested in Hollywood stuff these days. The only ones I would tune into were Carson and Letterman and then Ferguson. Ferguson is the best for comedy but didn't last long. The dude is so funny. At least with Ferguson, I tuned in every night for a while. The other 2 just produced so much classic stuff but it was just an every now and then thing or if someone was on that I wanted to see.
The best thing about Stern was when the bands/musicians played. I still pull up those on You Tube but overall there was nothing about his show that made me want to come back to watch.
Fallon is the only one I like now. He doesn't seem to push his opinions into the shows and it is all about entertainment. so maybe he has regressed. Haven't tuned in to his show in years.
Craig Ferguson was so money.
I think he's doing a freaking Burger King ad now.
