Easy for me: Colbert and then Kimmel. Don't watch the others. sinkingfeeling May 2025 #1

Kimmel is hands-down the best of the lot, in the traditional mold of a late show host. Xavier Breath May 2025 #2

He's so over the top with his actions, outside the monologue...... a kennedy May 2025 #7

Fallon is unwatchable. NCDem47 May 2025 #3

Fallon is unfunny. Basso8vb May 2025 #4

Used to LOVE Colbert, but, for me, he lost his edge when he went on from the Report. BobTheSubgenius May 2025 #9

Daily Show is a solid choice.

Fallon is a cloying twit and best to be ignored.

Too fawning, too aware, not authentic. There's a reason it hasn't had an Emmy nomination or win (only ONE win for all categories in the history of the show) for over 10 years.

If I do watch on linear, streaming or YouTube clips, I find it's Kimmel i gravitate to.

Couldn't stand him when he was on SNL and his pandering schtick is nausea inducing.

Occasionally I will watch Jimmy Fallon if he has someone I like and want to see.

If I watch Jimmy Kimmel, I can't DVR either Seth Meyers or Colbert because of the overlap in timing. (Jimmy Kimmel does that on purpose and I find it annoying.)

I don't get the Comedy Central channel so I can't see The Daily Show.

So my ranking has to be thus:

Tied for 1st: Meyers & Colbert
3rd: Fallon

With his ongoing, in-your-face feud with Pumpkin Spice Grifter, Kimmel's an easy Number One for me. Don't get me wrong, I still really like Colbert, but Kimmel wins the time slot.

Nice to run across like-minded individuals, though. Right?
