Letterman inducting Pearl Jam Geddy & Lifeson inducting Yes Snoop inducting Tupac Lenny Kravitz with a tribute to Prince
This is going to be one hell of a show!
Also, Dhani Harrison inducting Jeff Lynne and ELO. Don't forget Dhani is very good friends with the guys in PJ and has also played with them on several occasions. The show closing "drunks in tuxedos at a wedding jam" could still be interesting even without Uncle Neil.

I liked Letterman because he refused to pander to his guests like all the other schlubs do. He made a fool out of you if you deserved it (Madonna, Paris Hilton, politicians). No other late night host does that, at least not to that degree.
Fallon's interview with Trump angered me. Letterman would have skewered Trump.

I've only watched Kimmel a handful of times, but I never really liked him. Thought he had small presence and lacked personality. I watched the episode on Back to the Future 2 day and that bit they did. I remember thinking it should have been funny, but it was so boring and dry!

Can't say enough about Dave. When I was in a very rough spot in my life that last for a long time, I'd watch Dave every night and forget all my troubles for an hour or so. Watching Letterman helped me more than I can say.

The only thing I like about Kimmel is the Matt Damon bit and that's only because I'm a huge Matt Damon fan. Kimmel seems to have changed once he got 'famous'. New look, new wife, new kids, etc.
During lunch in middle school and high school my friends and I discussed the Top 10 list from the night before. Every. Single. Day.
I almost always found #2 to be the funniest and #1 to be the oddest.
me too. me thinks that was by design since it pretty consistently followed that format. Just like Track 8 +/- 1 is the best song on each PJ album
That's funny. my best friend growing up and I used to have the lamest discussions. We'd often debate what was the best all-around track. I always argued for #8. Never heard any else mention that since then.

Yeah, and Sarah Silverman and Ben made that bit funny too, not Kimmel. Kimmel's peak was the side-kick on "Win Ben Stein's Money." I do miss that show...
A lot of those hosts were ironically better and funnier before they landed their prime time slots. Conan and Dave for sure.
Leno is easily one of the nicest celebs ive ever met. Seriously. It made me conflicted over the Conan/dave stuff. Very cool to my wife and i. Took care of us. Put us on TV even. Lol. So i cant say a bad word about him. I refuse!

Kimmel's peak was the Man Show. I mean who can forget girls jumping on trampolines and wheelbarrow of porn.

I always found it interesting that he went from that to a late night gig. Went from a pervert to the guy you go to bed with...oh, wait, that's about right I guess.

Definitely the lost art of late night these days is a solid interviewer and that is what I really liked about Letterman. He was an intelligent guy who knew how to have a real conversation without just gushing all over the guests. I'm hoping Colbert masters his craft and becomes that or Seth Meyers.

exactly, Fallon just fan-boys all over everyone. it's gross and embarassing to watch. conan just always tries to be the funniest in the room. I find that annoying. as much as i disliked leno's show, I'd rather watch him than either of those two.
I haven't watched colbert, but I do think that Seth Meyers has the wit like letterman does.
