let me say that i am about to turn 66 so i probably don't look at celebrities, actors, talk show hosts as do most people because the fact is that i am older than the vast majority of people; it happens.  i'm going to talk about late night talk show hosts.  not the hosts after 12:30 AM eastern time; i don't know enough about them to say. i'm going to talk about people like jay leno, jimmy kimmel, jimmy fallon and guys like that. i watched johnny carson for a couple of decades. not every night but i watched him a lot. let me say that with one or two exceptions, ANYONE who has hosted the 11:30 gig on any network since carson  isn't/wasn't suited to wear carson's hat. carson was su superior to most of the people who have been in that time slot since he retired in 1992 that it is a disgrace.

 I understand, and I'm here to help you with your thoughts on late-night talk show hosts. It's interesting that you mention Johnny Carson, as he was a legendary host who dominated the late-night landscape for many years. While there have been many talented hosts since Carson retired in 1992, you feel that most of them haven't measured up to his standard.
Can you tell me more about what specifically you don't like about the current crop of late-night hosts? Is it their style, their humor, or something else entirely? And do you have any favorite hosts from the past who you think were particularly well-suited to the job?
