    Add me to the Ferguson love. His monologue/opening rant is brilliant. I did whine a bit when the network made him shorten it to get in another commercial break, which means it doesn't go as far off-track as it used to do, but after some tinkering, the shorter rant now leaves room for the puppets.

    Oh, and I love how neither he, nor his guests know where the interview will go. They are always best, when the pre-interview goes out the window.

    I just watched "Saving Grace" tonight and am reminded, yet again, that Craig Ferguson is sex on legs. #craigferguson

    I love Craig Ferguson! I have yet to watch a single minute of Jay's show and I don't plan on it. I wonder what Jay will do when he show gets canceled? I doubt he could go back to doing stand-up comedy in clubs or on a tour. Maybe he'll just stay home with Mavis and the cars. #craigferguson

    I LOVE Craig Ferguson!! Conan is totally blah now and Jimmy Fallon, who never was and never will be funny, cannot conduct an interview to save his life. It's so incredibly painful to watch him even when someone I love is on. Meanwhile, Craig always makes me laugh and I watch him even when there's no one in particular that I want to see on his show which is a lot more than I can say for anyone on NBC late night. Craig all the way!!!

    I will add to the Ferguson praise here. Took me a while--years--to warm to him, partly because I was a Tom Snyder fan going back to the Tomorrow show (and yes, he was weird and egotistical and could be astonishingly dumb, but he knew how to do an interview), partly because Ferguson's lampshade-on-the-head style just isn't my glass of Scotch. But I've come to realize he is smart, hip, and witty while working in the lampshade-on-the-head mode. Fallon is none of those things. Fallon is Conan without the talent. And Conan now is a little boy wearing his dad's suit: No matter how you cut down the clothes, they just aren't fitting right. #craigferguson

    I can't believe that anyone would watch Craig Ferguson on purpose. It's mainly watched by people who can't find the remote or that have fallen asleep with the TV on.

    What kills me is that Conan is the best one of all of them.

    If NBC pulls Leno's stupid show, they have to come up with 5 hours/week of programming quickly. #craigferguson

    @se7a7n7: I watch his opener almost every night, and then the interview if it's someone I like or a Brit or Irish person. It just makes everything brighter.

    That and most of the guests on his show seem to either genuinely like him, know him from outside of the show, or visibly register him as a person rather than [insert generic entertainment interviewer]. It's just fun. #craigferguson

    My guess? Comcast is just saying they'll keep Zucker in place so he won't trash the office before they can have security show him out in person. #craigferguson

    I love Conan! But, I have to admit, last night was the first time I watched a full Tonight Show since he took over (blame Jay for scaring me off). It was a bit disappointing, like he left his writers in NY or something.

    Jimmy is cute, but his show is SO awkward!! Perhaps, that's the point. Kinda reminds of how Conan's show felt when he first started.

    And Jay. Oh, Jay...will you go away already! Please. You've ruined my 10pm drama viewing. Plus, I've never liked your yuks. #craigferguson

    You know, Craig's current book and book tour might also have something to do with his numbers. Perhaps a confluence of happy events. #craigferguson

    I love Conan but he has been uneven, at best, on The Tonight Show. The best thing about Jimmy Fallon's nightly cringe-fest is The Roots. Leno sucks but Conan and Fallon are weak and often unfunny. Their sagging ratings are not all Leno's fault.

    I'm really sorry for Conan, because I like him, but I'm thrilled for Craig, because I love him.

    Jay Leno is the only one of those mentioned in this post I actively wish bad things upon. Looks like they might be comin' .... #craigferguson
