I think the Colbert Report takes more risks, therefor is sometimes much funnier, but also sometimes misses the targets, and Colbert can't interview worth a damn....... I think Stewart is still on top cause he's got better writers, and he can actually have good, funny interviews.... Colbert always shined on the Daily Show cause He was out doing bits...... I still don't think you can lump these two into the late night talk show host category though, cause they are doing something different....... Out of that bunch I think Letterman used to be the best, but I think Conan is and will be the best down the road....... Leno is decent, but mostly because he's down to earth, not necessarily Funny all the time.......
My problem with the Daily show these days is that the good old gang is gone, and the replacements just aren't as funny...... the best was when Steve Carrell, Stephen Colbert, Vance Degeneres, and Mo Rocca were teaming up for coverage of the Elections and such..... Rob Corrdry is funny, Jason Jones is Ok, that DImitri dude is great, but never on, and the rest just aren't up to par........ Lewis Black comes in to Save the day every now and then.......
