Does John Oliver count? He'd be up there with Conan. But not sure if his is considered a talk show.

Conan and Graham Norton are the only ones that make watching a talk show worth it. Conan because he's funny himself and the stuff he does outside talking to guests is usually funny and Norton because he and his talk-show format can get something different out of guests behind the templated answers.

Great shout with Norton.

Norton is a great host. Conan is just great.. I can listen to conan do his nonsense all day.. Nortons interviews are better.

That said, dont watch any talk shows anymore. Just occasional clips on youtube.. and Conans podcast if the guest is interesting.

I think Conan is the best of the lot.. Somehow I never liked Kimmel,though a friend of mine is an ardent fan and says he's the best..

Even Graham Norton is good,especially when his guests are ready to come out of their shell..

Kimmel's sketches are the best and apparently he's really nice to the people who work for him and helps their careers.

Conan is my favourite. The Conan without Borders segments are usually excellent.

How anyone can find Conan funny is beyond me. He’s creepy as feck. His voice is annoying, the way he acts like an 11 year old is annoying and the way he repeats jokes are annoying. He’s a total letch as well.

At least when Craig Ferguson is pervy it’s actually funny. I’ll say Ferguson and Norton.

David Letterman.

Late night died when he retired :(

Kimmel is useful, but not to the extent of watching a full show regularly.

Edit: Okay, Norton is fine too.

I know he's not everyone's cup of tea, but I like Bill Maher.

Apart from that, I agree with the people who like Conan and Norton.

For those who haven’t seen it, there’s an episode of Inside the Actor’s Studio with him, it’s pretty damn funny :)

Norton, for me. Don’t like Oliver, comes across as a bit of a smug twat.

Conan & Norton are my favourites. Despise Corden & Fallon.
