Yep, it's kinda' one a' those odd-ish type flicks that I've always loved. Although, I'm a bit diverse when it comes to my movie watchin', 'cause I'm now watchin' "McLintock!" on TCM.

This trip we walked on both times we rode. My DD (22) had never riden it. She is pretty much done now too. I can't really get past how much of this expansion is some form of meet and greet on steroids. The one thing it did bring was a plethora of restrooms.
See I can say something nice.
I never liked Jay Leno. Meaning as a comedian, not a person. Same for David Letterman. Letterman is just too bland for me. Jimmy Fallon is decent, and Jimmy Kimmel is a step above Leno and Letterman, but not quite to Fallon. I haven't really seen Seth Meyers enough to judge him. I'm interested to see the non-characterized Stephen Colbert. I think he'll be good. Craig tops all, though.

I've been pretty impressed with how well the TV captured the odd tone of the film. Right down to Bilbo Baggens as the bumbling fool type William H Macy played in the film.Yep, it's kinda' one a' those odd-ish type flicks that I've always loved.

I only watch Craig on YouTube - there's full episodes there that don't get taken off for some reason. I'm usually not up late enough to catch it.

Yep, unfortunately, never saw it in the theater, only on TV. But, It just cracks me up, and I'm not much into black comedy...it's just too ridiculously funny, to me...!

- Leno was just too bland for my taste. Plus I was a huge Conan fan when he was on Late Night so that situation soured me on Leno. Never watched him again.
- Conan lost a lot between moving to an earlier time and losing a lot of his bits to the NBC lawyers. He is at his best when things go wrong or when set loose on a location. Very quick on his feet with jokes in those situations.
- Fallon is good for creating fun bits and games. It makes his show feel welcoming. His interviews are terrible though.
- Craig just can do everything. His monologues are hilarious, different, and usually tell a great story. He can kill time like no one else. And can really keep a conversation going.
- Letterman was great for snark, but has grown disinterested as time has gone on. I'm not surprised he is retiring.
- Colbert has proven to be a master of satire. He is like a modern day Mark Twain who works in live action. I'm interested to see what he will bring to the Late Show.

I just never could get onboard with Leno. Never could put my finger on it but it was more his overall personality that grated on my nerves. His jokes were perfectly fine. I loved Letterman prior to heart issues. He came back from that different, he came back almost mean and bitter with axes to grind, using his show to that. Then came his controversy over the woman of his back stage antics. I was pretty much done.
I enjoy Craig, love Colbert, Meyers I've just not seen much of, Fallon I don't really care for and Kimmel makes me laugh.

Craig is just so unconventional. Geoff and Secretariat are genius. His monologues are the best, and his Tweets and Emails segment is great, too. He can take the most awkward interview and make it funny and interesting. When he gets talkative guests, it's just the best. The Late Late Show is perfect for him, too, because a lot of his comedy revolves around making fun of how awful it is to be there. To sum it up, his entire show is perfect.
Craig and Ellen have to be my two favorite comedic talk show hosts. But they are very, very different, obviously.

I would like to see Ellen get a late night show. Give her a bit more freedom with her jokes and save her knees from dancing for a while.

The Coens are the masters of dark and/or offbeat comedy. And pretty good at dramas too.Yep, unfortunately, never saw it in the theater, only on TV. But, It just cracks me up, and I'm not much into black comedy...it's just too ridiculously funny, to me...!
Ellen's built such a reputation with daytime talk show comedy, that I don't know if she would work in late night. I mean, I'm sure she would because she's Ellen, but I don't think her success would be nearly as much. It'd be interesting to see her in late night, but I wouldn't want her to give up her daytime show.
