I thought it was a good first show. Sometimes first shows can be a little awkward.

Solid show, not really breaking the mold here but his question setting up Jeb comparing himself to his brother was uncanny.

I fell asleep right after the Sabra Hummus bit. Woke up to something about George Clooney and a fake/pretend movie? and shut it off.

I will try to find it online cuz I really did wanna watch it.

Not bad.. I have never seen his comedy and I was laughing. The scripted late night shows are all the same. As far as conducting an interview..Stern is the only one who does it right.. Clooney is a Deusch

I liked Report, but that was painful. 6 months to prep and that's what they came up with?

I thought it was a pretty good first episode. As a huge Letterman fan, though, it just felt so strange seeing the Ed Sullivan Theater looking so different. Actually made me a little sad in a weird way.

Will they always do the opening credits after the monologue? That was odd.

never saw much of colbert's stuff. what i have watched wasn't funny, therefore i am not interested. if someone wants to put up a hilarious little video (from his old show) i would take the time to check it out.

letterman is a riot as far as i'm concerned

carry on

Couldn't disagree more. I think he's the best late night talk show host ever. Just my opinion.
I'm not too interested in Colbert. I didn't watch his Comedy Central show anymore either - now THAT was an act that got old, IMO. It's good he chose to move on. Letterman had a good run, but his retirement was past due IMO. He just seemed sick of the whole thing for the past few years.

I never watched Colbert on Comedy Central so I can't speak to that getting old...

Fallon is the greatest tak show host ever??? Are you kidding? I don't even consider his show a "talk show." It's just like a variety show with a little bit of interviewing sprinkled in. I don't know, I just think there's only so many times I'll tune in to watch celebrities play charades. I'll take Conan over Fallon and I always forget Conan is still on TV.

Letterman's the all time champ and, to me, it's not even close.

No, not kidding. I don't care about what it's called. I thought all of those shows were called late night talk shows, no?
I love Fallon. I NEVER laughed as hard when I watched Letterman or Conan or anyone else. But I have at least a few truly hard laughs when I watch Fallon, and every once in a while I laugh so hard I cry. He's really funny, but he's also great and making his guests hilarious, which is awesome. And that, for me, wins the day when it comes to late night TV shows.

I hated Fallon when he was on SNL and I thought his standup was straight trash but I largely agree with you on this. Not sure about the best ever but in general watching celebrities play funny games and have fun is soooooo much better than watching celebrities talk about themselves, tell stories I couldn't give two shits about or talk about a random movie that I likely won't see.

The best part of letterman was when he did that kind of stuff too. Throwing footballs through windows, dropping stuff off the roof, etc.

I like Fallon but in terms of laugh out loud. I don't get that from him. He's not a good interviewer. His interviewers seem like 2 minutes and then they play a game.

Ditto. Except i know Conan is on. And he makes me laugh to the point i can't breathe.

I caught it on cbs' website. It was good. I hope the musical number at the end isn't something that happens regularly, but it was fun for the first night. I thought the throwing to The Mentalist bit was funny. And the point where Colbert said to Jeb "you were soooooooooo close to getting them to clap for you" made me lol too.

I watched the Colbert Report sporadically. I am glad he didn't change the Colbert persona for the Late Show.

I cannot stand Jimmy Fallon. I've seen a LOT of funny bits with him and other people whether it's something like the Balls in your Mouth or the stuff he's done with Timberlake - and I think those are great and funny, but I've tried watching his show numerous times and I just can't deal with him as host. I've got a similar reaction to James Cordon. I loved him on A League of Their Own and Gavin & Stacey but I cannot fucking stand him as host of the Late Late show.

I never liked Letterman or Leno. Craig Ferguson was always my late show choice. I miss him. BUT since he quit that gig I got to see him LIVE for FREE last year so hey. Can't complain.
