    Yeah his Late Night show was incredibly funny back in the 90's. I was watching clips of him playing random Walker Texas Ranger clips this morning. LOL.....that's what I thought was so great about his show and humor: random nonsense. Those John Rocker skits were hilarious too.

    I even liked his Tonight Show stint, although there was a drop off. They should have given him more of a chance there.

    The TBS shows, however, have been mostly garbage. I am assuming he's had an entirely different set of writers for the last decade or so...
    Totally agree.
    Late Night was hilarious!  It seemed like if they had any idea that seemed funny, they went with it.  That Walker Texas Ranger lever thing is a perfect example.  Fn hilarious!  Watched every night.
    The Tonight Show was alright.  I watched, but it really seemed like NBC wanted to reel him in a bit and make him more digestible to an earlier/lamer/Lay Leno-type audience.  
    TBS is almost unwatchable.  It's just soooo boring.  Nothing creative or edgy about it.  Conan Without Boarders was good as was anything with Jordan Schlansky.
    It's weird because I still listen to his podcast, which is hilarious.  He's like a completely different person on his podcast vs his TBS show.
    It was a good run and I'll def check out what he does on HBO Max.
    The TBS show is underrated.

    Ratings doesn't mean a show is good or bad. Many good shows have been canceled in the first season because of bad ratings

    Yeah but in my opinion, his TBS show was a steaming pile of horse manure. So, in that respect, I can understand why the ratings were bad.

    It wasn't. I mean it can never be the Late Night years. But there were many gems in the TBS years.

    The TBS show was fine. I think he did a good job of coming up with new stuff since NBC owned the IP of all the classic old bits. And I actually think the interviews were better, probably just due to him being more experienced with it.

    The interviews were good. I just thought everything else was incredibly lame and I never felt that way with his old show.
