Poll: David Letterman or Ellen?

[[FnG]magnolia]

Example 1 :

He's amazing and even the slip up he makes towards the end is recovered masterfully.

Example 2 :

Even though I despise the man, he takes what is basically a diatribe against him with relatively good humour and Ellen's tone is needlessly aggressive.

Can we have a poll?

Parkinson

Both are utterly boring.

 

[Daze]

Letterman. Quite like Conan also

 

[Cleeecooo]

Ellen.

 

[Sefirosu]

Letterman. Quite like Conan also

Fan of Letterman and Conan since I discovered American talk shows.

I haven't been around here much lately, but it does seem that you need to get away from the PC and to acquire some perspective.

 

[hurfdurf]

They are both very talented.

Conan is a good call but he always strikes me as too eager to get to the joke or the observation he wants to share. He's funny - don't get me wrong he is very, very funny - but he just seems too calculating, too readable. Letterman is Pokerface, Ellen is Emotionalface and Conan is Predictableface.

We'll be back right after these important messages.

 

[Grandmaster Fap!]

Craig Ferguson > all

 

[Castiel]

Ellen has hotter girlfriends than Letterman......

 

[Skillmister]

Letterman. Not a fan of Ellen at all.

 

[Logsi]

I find Letterman too arrogant for my liking. Take a look at when he interviewed Vettel. Absolute nobler.

Don't like Ellen either...

 

[AGD]

Graham Norton.

 

[lcg]

Letterman.

 

[qqg3]

Graham Norton.

Norton's show is actually surprsingly good, much better than Woss I think.

 

[Raumarik]

Craig Ferguson ftw.

I think the equivalent of our topical panel shows is the US's chat shows.

No. Really. Think about it.

A team of comedy writers behind the scenes writing material for the comedian, guest stars... in jokes.. do you see?

I want to see where you're going with this but I can't.

Help?

Both are pretty weak. Letterman gets the better stars more often.

Jon Stewart is the best.

In reality though all of the talk show people are only as good as their guests. If the guests are boring the talk show host will appear boring too.
