2The Ellen DeGeneres Show

Ellen's sense of humour is just perfect for me. Watching her show makes me happy!

Ellen is HILARIOUS! She does fun stuff as well as the usual questions:P I LOVE HER! :P:P:P

Ellen is so much casual, she really connects with her guests, she listens to them! She's not like any other talk show hosters.

3The Tonight Show with Jay Leno

Jay Leno, I love you show and would love to get a training on how to conceptualise a talkshow. I love what you have achieved so far and more power to your elbow. Jay Leno you are the greatest. Thanks. McIntosh Ephraim Eze, Nigeria

By all means. He's better than that white socks moron who seeks to make you laugh with those idiotic facial expressions. How those audiances laugh and applaud is beyond me. Has to be light-up signs that prompt the audiance as to how and when to respond.

Leno is without a doubt the funniest talk show host in america. Jimmy kimmel is a close second

4Late Night with Conan O'Brien

No only is conan funny, he's an awesome guy with an awesome personality! He even has his own blimp, that should make him number 1 straight away!

Conan on 4 really? He is the best comedian ever, I love every episode of conan o'brien, also he is 6'4 I never noticed that until I googled it he looks little shorter than that, anyways Conan is best of all, I love coco.

Jay Leno is the worst. Theres a reason Conan gets his spot soon. He gets the real ratings.

7Jimmy Kimmel Live

Very funny, always make guets feel comfortable. Not like letterman which is a lot more bitter.

8Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson

craig is the future of late night; everyone else gained popularity over time... plus, he's WAY funnier has NO SCRIPT! Ferguson ROX, man!

This dude gots way more comedic skillz than all the others.

Charlie Rose and Craig are without a doubt better than David Letterman, Conan, Jay, or Oprah. Who made this foolish list? Foolishness. And who dares put Johnny Carson below number one.

9Dr. Phil

Dr phil is the best he saved a lot of peoples life and changed them to the better

10The View

The hosts are a good mix with often diverse views. Joy is the very intelligent one with plenty funny hits. Sherry is the real one to whom many women can relate. Elizabeth is the pretty one with strong Republican links and view. Whoopie and Barbarba are the anchors. I love this show mostly for their hot topic discussions.

Such a great talkshow! Always talking about hot topics so fun to watch!

The Contenders

11Charlie Rose
12The Colbert Report
