Simple Poll: Letterman or Leno?

Poll question: Simple Poll: Letterman or Leno?

Letterman for me!

[Aristus]

1. Letterman.

I keep hearing what a wonderful, loyal Dem Leno is.

And yet, he keeps whoring away for the right......

2. As a Ball State grad, I'm kinda bound to vote Letterman.

Right? Go Cards! :)

6. heard Letterman has

a scholarship that goes to a C student - is that right?
Love Dave!

[AwakeAtLast]

10. Yup, he sure does!

There is a plaque in the T-Comm. building that reads, "To all C students before and after me!" Signed by Dave himself.

3. Letterman

First, last, and always. Leno's a tool, and an unfunny one at that.

4. How does that lemon Leno stay on the air?

NGU.

[Strawman]

7. Inertia and the power of the Tonight Show brand name he inherited n/t

[elperromagico]

8. Because he's "safe." No risky jokes, nothing to offend anyone.

He's been focus grouped to death, I fear. Shame, really - he was once very funny.

[CubsFan1982]

12. I must have been sick that day.

Leno was once funny??

[elperromagico]

13. Before he became host of the Tonight Show, yes.

Years and years ago.

15. It's 6he Gannon

factor...Leno's a shill for the powerful. Probably why Johnny Carson didn't like him.

[Dinger]

20. Bingo!

Exacatacily!

5. Leno was a shill for Ahnold in his campaign.

And has Penis Miller as a frequent guest.

9. Leno could be interviewing

Robin Williams, Jonathon Winters and Don Rickles and he would still be boring as hell. His interview of Bill Belicheck and Deion Branch was painful to watch last night.

18. When he interviews, he tries to make jokes

You can tell he doesn't care what the guest is saying, he just tries to get the audience laughing at something, anything. Letterman is a terrific interviewer. You actually get to hear what people are thinking and how they live their lives. Also, Letterman isn't worried about having a serious interview. I don't think I've ever seen Leno do a serious interview. I don't think it's possible.

11. Letterman! Letterman! Letterman! nt

[Withywindle]

14. Letterman all the way. Not even close. n/t

[ISUGRADIA]

16. Letterman has always come off as an independent, smart

guy to me. Leno comes off as a slighty slow guy with writers who stay with noncontroversial subjects. The difference between them was dramatically shown on their first shows after 9-11. Letterman's show was a classic.
