As a non-Murican, I will never understand this late night show concept. So it's not stand up comedy, not a fully scripted TV comedy show, not actual news.
Why do people watch it? Especially when so many of these hosts are such dickheads ( and not even in the funny, grumpy way, just... whatever Ellen Degenerate is).
Very occasionally you'll get some absolutely outstanding hosts, that can make anything fun. A bunch of people already mentioned Carson. Old school Conan actually had his moments, especially when Norm McDonald was involved. But probably the only one I really and consistently ever enjoyed was Craig Ferguson, who is a total legend. I'm very glad he got out before late night went to total shit, as he'd probably be woking it up with the rest. Or #MeToo'd and fired.

Yeah Craig was good. It's helped by the fact that I only had the highlights fed to me through youtube. But yeah, Craig was actually funny
Couldn't have a gay skeleton nowadays though.
