Hi, it's the one other person that chose Leno! I haven't seen his show in a long time but I liked his Monday night Headlines and the goofy observations he made about them. He seems like somoene who can easily find humor in the mundane. I know, it's not cool to be too mainstream but, oh well, I used to like Leno.  Personally I wouldn't want anyone but Mike and MST3K alumni doing rifftrax but I figured this was all hypothetical.

atleast your brave enough to admit you voted for Leno.... ;D

I refuse to vote until my man Craig Ferguson is on the list. If you haven't seen his Late late Show, you are missing the funniest man in late night. He's what Conan was ten years ago, and Letterman ten years before that.

These are all great choices, but...

I'd have to say that Conan O'Brien would probably be the best choice.

Not only is he extremely funny, but he was a writer for The Simpsons for many years, and would do a spectacular job with this type of comedy.


My second choice would probably be Jimmy Kimmel, for his sharp wit and his hard-edged, insult-type of comedy.

Yes, Craig is very funny.  I've only watched his show a handful of times, but I am always pleased with how funny he is.  And, he's British!!!

Scottish.

I'm also surprised that Craig Ferguson isn't on here. Especially since the poll has Craig Kilbourne [sic] on it, and Kilborn isn't even working anymore! I never found Kilborn to be all that funny anyway, but I've always laughed at Ferguson's work. 8)

Yeah, and what about Carsenio?



And I'm just going to keep enjoying that Carson Daly's name is spelled wrong and sits at zero votes.

Has everyone forgotten how really quick (and very dry) Craig Kilbourne would be????

When he first left The Daily Show, I wouldn't watch out of protest....(I soon came to my senses...).   But Craig is PERFECT for Rifftrax.   Very sharp....VERY quick....VERY sarchastic, and VERY dry.

I always found Kilborn's mock-narcisism pretty funny until it slowly dawned on me that he's really just that vain. It was priceless whenever Adam West came on. They have the exact same mannerisms and speech patterns. It's uncanny.

I can't believe no one other than me is coming to the LATE NIGHT defense of Chevy Chase, Alan Thicke, Pat Sajack, Magic Johnson, Keenen Ivory Wayans, and Arsenio Hall.

Ehh I don't mind Arsenio that much...he was good in Coming to America...but he is basically Leno's lackey now.

As for the rest.....well thats like Trying to choose between being prison raped by the Mexican Gang or the Aryan gang.....either way it will still suck.

Take a guess who I voted for.

On a side note, I'd want to see Mike promoting Rifftrax on Conan because he gets the most out of his guests and doesn't just ask them a question about their summer and let them talk the whole interview. He actually interacts with the guest and with Mike that could create one great interview.
