1. I mostly agree with your rankings
Except you don't have that POS Leno ranked far enough down the list.

3. No. 1 Letterman
By far. Don't like Kimmel, Fallon is OK. Don't like O'Brien. Can't really stand Ferguson. Don't think I've ever watched Daly. I hate Leno.

4. Letterman, old Conan, Feguson, Kimmel, Leno, Daly, Fallon
Nobody is worse than Jimmy Fallon IMO, even Chevy Chase was better.

I take that back, Wanda Sykes' show has been pretty good thus far.

15. Letterman ..... everybody else except Leno .................... ............... ........... ... Leno
This is not a new thing for me. I never liked him. Never thought he was funny. Considered him shit when he did what he did to get the show in the first place.

People who want to know more really ought to read this book:

16. other than stewart and colbert, I don't find any of them really funny
I often like Letterman's top ten lists, and I used to enjoy Leno's headlines (no idea if he still does that or not), but I wouldn't really watch either of them barring some spectacular guest or something. And the rest of them I might not watch even then. (Sometimes I'll catch a funny clip on youtube, though ...)

19. I've never found Conan or Jimmy Kimmel remotely funny.....
Carson Daly peaked on MTV's Total Request Live, which says all you need to know about him.

21. Aren't they all rank?
