My Late Night Comedy Line-Up

Do you watch late night television? During the summer in particular, I watch late night religiously. Sadly, my favorite late night comedian Conan O’Brian has been on a mandated hiatus for the past few months thanks to NBC.

On the Michael Sherlock broadcasting network however, Conan would be a cornerstone of my content. His comedy is fresh, his opinions spot on, and frankly, his jokes are funny. Conan appeals to younger viewers, which some view as a negative, but I believe keeps him from the stale humor we currently see at 11:35.

Next up, Craig Ferguson. Occupying the 12:37-1:37 time slot, Craig offers a racier comedy I enjoy. Accompanied by his robot sidekick Geoff Petersen and his audience full of hobos, Craig’s monologues and intimate interviews are excellent. His story telling is a joy to listen to and his sometimes deep messages make you think, and laugh, at the same time.

To wrap the night up, enter a live comedy club. Featuring stand up routines from one or two fresh comics, this segments closes a night full of laughs with an opportunity for new individuals to make it big. Quality performers can repeat on the show while those not rated as highly by the audience never return to make way for different people.

So, that’s my dream lin-up. Both Conan and Craig are currently working with TBS and CBS respectively, but I can always dream right? What comedians do you love, and who would compromise your dream late night line-up?
