Today's late-night shows are a far cry from Carson's days on The Tonight Show...he most certainly set a standard that will never be matched. "Energy Flows Where Attention Goes" -- James Arthur Ray |

Leno tries too hard to be funny and falls short about half the time. Conehead O'Brien is not funny at ALL. How he has survived as long as he had is a testament either to his perseverance or NBC's utter stupidity. Carson Daly is a good interviewer when he isn't trying to be funny.
