lol There's like 5 talk shows at night and only 2 in the prime slots; Letterman and Leno. Where do you think they are going to go if they want publicity and to advertise their shit? Not every big name is going to go on Fallon or Ferguson but they still get good people. And what are you going to do? Get only Hellen Mirren and Christian Bale and Johnny Depp? These people rarely do talk shows because they don't really need to.
I agree Letterman has an oldish vibe and I don't find him really enjoyable. Leno has that general all-purpose comedy that everyone should be able to get and plays it safe but is nothing special or amazing. Ferguson is pretty funny actually but I hate his set and the vibe of his show. It seems like they are doing it from a basement of a CBS building or something. I find Fallon bringing unique stuff and trying to bring a level of excitement to late night talk shows. But Conan was the best. Unless it's some really hot girl or a favorite actor/athlete of mine is on I don't really care to watch talk shows but with Conan you want to watch even if it's some old lady or some news guy.
