    I just wanted to get everyone's opinion on which host they enjoy the most.

    I have always enjoyed Conan obrien, I think he is the funniest of them all and his show is pretty much the only one I can sit down and watch.

    I also like jimmy kimmel, I think he is good too

    Jimmy Fallon is a tremendously talented guy, I like some of his bits but he is sometimes just too awkward for me especially during interviews

    Letterman is funny when you are in the mood for letterman

    Right now I'd go with who is the best interviewer and not the one with the best bits or writers. The best host who actually interviews and interacts with their guest would have to be......... Jimmy Kimmel.

    We like Kimmel overall.

    I never actually watch Conan, but I watch the comedy sketches all the time on his app. He has one up now where he goes to a Korean spa that is absolute gold. Nobody does comedy sketches better than Conan. It's not even close in that department.

    RIP Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. The absurdist humor and general theme of "why are you still awake" were so great in comparison to all of the canned interviews and experiences most other shows offered.

    Craig was the best. His departure from the scene ruined my late night viewing.

    I like Conan and Fallon the best, but they're all enjoyable.

    Just google search Clutchfans+Fallon or Clutchfans + Leno and
    you'll have your fill of arguments about which late night host is best or is preferred.

    Fallon is the best right now

    he knows no one cares about the interviews anymore, so he does fun stuff with his guests

    But the entire field is pretty decent right now, way better than the garbage Leno and Letterman had been spewing out for years

    Letterman, Fallon. I miss Ferguson too.

    I always liked Letterman's interview style and humor, and Fallon is just a fun dude.

    I like Fallon and Kimmel, but I lean more on the Fallon side since I've been a fan of his since SNL. I used to aboslutely LOVE Conan when he was Late Night, but I have since fallen out of love with him. Letterman was the best about 10 years ago. But with his age, he's fallin' off the map.

    Fallon has the best segments

    Conan is the master of improv and remotes.

    Kimmel is average.

    Letterman is irrelevant.

    Kimmel and Conan are pretty good.
    Fallon is pretty hit or miss, definitely the least charismatic of the three.

    Stephen Colbert and James Corden could be a good two-hour late night bloc.

    Fallon can be phony, and I find Higgins annoying, but the show has funny moments.

    Jimmy Kimmel is very funny, and has a lot of creative bits, but I can go months without watching for some reason. I forget Conan a lot, too.
