Alright here is my list of the best network talk show hosts. Stewart and Colbert are not included, because they are not traditional late night comedians, if they were though I'd put them at the top of the list.

1. Craig Ferguson- I never got the popularity of Craig Ferguson's show for a period of time, I mean he was a juvenile comedian then I started watching the show and I became a fan. His monologue is entertaining, his interviews don't rely on cards and not to mention when he reads the email I'm always in stiches. I just wish he had better guests on his show.

2. David Letterman- David Letterman is not near the prime he was maybe 10 to 15 years ago when his Late Show was in it's peak, I mean seriously watch clips on youtube of his old show and you'd be shocked that it was the same guy. However Letterman's show is just got an aesthetic quality about it, I mean if you watch you feel proud in a weird way that you did. Some of the comedy is funny but Letterman's real skill is his interviews, whether with Obama or with Joaquin Phoenix, Letterman's sharp wit is still in tact. Plus he allows his guests to talk and make the show funnier, unlike some other comedians.

3. Jimmy Kimmel- I had a toss up between Conan and Kimmel, but I went Kimmel because his show has been pretty funny since that whole Matt Damon/Ben Affleck sketch thing. He's not afraid to get away with the censors and his show is always funny because it uses a "Soup like format" to analyze clips, his interviews and charisma are a bit low but the show is still enjoyable especially with characters like Guillermo and Uncle Frank. Definitely enjoyable.

4. Conan O'Brien- The Prince of Late Night, well I guess it's now Mr. Ferguson's territory. Conan has been helming the Tonight Show for quite sometime and though his show is not as good as it used to be, you can't deny that he still has the awkward humor still in high gear. His interview skills aren't nearly that strong and his monologue can be painful, but Conan is still one of the most energetic and college humor based talk show hosts out there. Lacking his edge.

5. Jay Leno- Leno is a pretty good comedian, despite his painful Leno Show. Though let's face it, he lost all of his edge that he had in the 80's and in stand up. Since joining the Tonight Show, Leno has been the middle man for humor catering to the lowest demographic to make jokes. Sometimes cheesy jokes. He's like the family primetime comedian, afraid to take any major risks. Though you can't deny he does have some funny aspects (not talking about the chin)

5. Jimmy Fallon- I feel bad picking on the new guy but Fallon's show is so hokey and cheesy during this current moment, granted some jokes are good but how he manages to have good guests kind of baffles me. I'm sure he'll get better, like he can get worse then the next person down on the list.

6. Carson Daly- Why on earth does Carson Daly have a show? He's not a comedian. Not to mention his show isn't that entertaining, he was good on TRL but come on.
