My impressions from watching lots of clips on youtube:
Colbert- the most consistently funny and most political oriented humor
Kimmel- lots of hilariously mean humor
Fallon- some great bits(like the lip sync contests), but overall show looks kinda dull
Conan- funnier than Fallon, but doesn't pull the big celebrities in for skits
Seth Meyers- :zzz
Craig Ferguson(not on anymore)- Big flirt
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

I can't stand Colbert. I'd rather watch flies fuck.

John Oliver hands down. He has more insight in his little finger than the rest of them combined, with the possible exception of Colbert. All of the others (than Oliver and Colbert) are entertainer sell-outs, really.

Well, he is annoying, yeah.

I think Fallon, Kimmel and Colbert are all great.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I'm glad I got to watch Letterman in his prime.

John Oliver was better in The Bugle. :hipster:

I like John Oliver because I can watch it on youtube. The others are on way too late.

John Oliver isn't even in the running. He doesn't host a late night talk show.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

I found out this morning that Craig Ferguson was in punk band The Dreamboys with Peter Capaldi.

Since Oliver was an option I voted for him.  If he was off the list I would have voted Colbert.

Stephen Colbert

Yep. The only one worth watching IMO. Not counting Oliver who is not a late night guy.
