I can't stand watching shows with laughter in them (especially canned) for the same reasons as Asher, but I also feel that it cheapens the good jokes and sometimes even makes it hard to hear what they're saying.

I don't know, sometimes I find that canned laughter makes me laugh at things that I normally wouldn't. And laughing makes me feel good, even if it is a cheap coaxed one.

Its kind of like drugs... when I smoke them I laugh at lots of things I normally wouldn't. But I don't care, thats why I smoke them.

Yeah, Mobius, what's wrong with your sense of humor .

Letterman is the funnier talk show host, and the 'experts' all concur. The fact that he's won the Emmy for best late night talk show for 5 straight years ( ), shows something. Don't 'cha think?

And now Paul (Schaffer) is getting some movie parts!!

Leno owns Letterman, IMHO. But Conan is the best of the three.

There is a show on Comedy Central now called "Sports Night".

It used to be on ABC, and I loved it. It was funny and entertaining.

It also had no laugh track or audience laughter, you had to decide if it was funny or not.

On Comedy Central, however, they have put in canned laughter and I can't stand to watch it anymore.


ACK!

Your wrong, Tuberski.

The FIRST season was all laugh track on ABC. Then after that they took it out (ABC didn't like it but went along).

When Comedy Central plays the first season shows they leave the laugh track in, but when they play later shows there is no laugh track at all.

Very well, I still liked it better without the laugh track, I must not have watched the first season, although all the episodes were familiar to me.

ACK!

Nothing at all seeing as I have to deal with you on a regular basis.

He does seem to have a brilliant rapport with his guests - but the rest of the show stinks!

They had this 'Lettermanothon' here a few weeks back with shows spanning his entire career - the old stuff was genuinely funny!

Now it's just tired and he's old.

Shows that the people that give these awards are just a whole bunch of old Walruses, or don't know any better. If you're saying that Letterman is the best of the bunch in the US then it shows that American Tee Vee is worse than I thought!

Next you'll say that all the oscars go to deserving people and aren't just industry pats on the back!

It is obvious that Letterman is the funnier host. Leno is horrible. He is like a stand up comic that people boo!

He, atleast, is not afraid to embrace his crapiness.

I'll be surprised if any non-canadians actually know who he is...

Man, he sucks. He's only funny when he makes fun of how much he sucks... and even then he sucks.

It's a step up from the other late-night hosts, atleast.

If you check my 1st post, you'll see that I'm merely stating that Leno is less crap than Letterman, which means that I don't particularly like Leno, although he does have his occasional moment - which is more than that has been Letterman...

And you are still wrong .

Letterman is a comic genius and is acknowledged as such. He's considered the Father of Irony that American comedy has gone into.

He's a good frood, who knows where his towel is, man! .

I remember one time for my birthday party we were having a sleep over at my house (this was early middle school, I think) we decided to have a contest to see who could make us laugh. One of us would get up in front of the rest and have five minutes to do jokes or stand up or whatever to get us to laugh.
Well, when it was my turn, I knew the power of subconcious "following along", so I got up, and immediately started laughing hysterically, without reprieve.
I won the game (hooplah!)
Another time when acting skills came in handy making people laugh was when my math teacher came out with this really horrible horrible joke, and I began to "laugh": we're talking literally falling out of chair laughter here…
Ha, that was fun!
