Letterman Continues Reign As King Of Late Night!

His monologues are killer, but no one expected a ratings massacre!

According to the Nielsen ratings, the Late Show with David Letterman continues to grow as its audience is up 26% in both households and viewers from this time last year.

Only Dave can score a guest like Brit Brit!

Conan and Jimmy, who?!

David Letterman deserves to be King of latenight simply because he is better than the competition.
I love Jimmy Kimmell, but he SO needs to hire all new writers .. the jokes and scripted materials are horrible. He could do much better ..

It's not that Letterman is great…he isn't. It's just that Leno was booted off! Leno was perrrrrrfect for that timeslot; Conan is embarassing. The first thing he needs to do is lose the sidekick.

I prefer Dave to Conan but Brit Brit has nothing to do with his ratings increase. I also prefer Jay to Dave and can't wait for Leno to return.

David Letterman is not funny and on top of that, he's ugly,very very ugly. I just don't understand how TV works. I guess when you have big corperations that like you, the corperations just keep paying, regardless of the ratings. Jimmy fallon is the same. Not funny. Both have a very high opionion of themselvs. I try never to watch d 0r j.
