There is very little reason to turn your TV on late at night, but there are still 3 reasons: Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, and Conan O'Brien. These three are funny on a day to day basis. (I am not sure if Conan is the best replacement for Leno, Stewart might even make a better choice, but who could replace him on The Daily Show.) Over the last month or so due to the writer's strike they have been feeding off each other for comedy material.
Here's a quick summary: Before the strike Mike Huckabee was on the Colbert Report and then next week his numbers in the polls got a huge bump. Colbert attributed it to the "Colbert Bump." Huckabee even said he would give his Vice President ticket to Colbert. Then in January Huckabee was on Conan and after that Conan has taken all the credit for Huckabee's success. Colbert took offense to this and has since started attacking Conan and taking credit for Huckabee.
Here is a video summary:
Then on last Thursday all 3 of them appeared on each other's show to settle this all once and for all, and what ensued was one of the funnier things I have seen on late night TV in a long while.
First on the Daily Show:
Then on Conan:
Nobody puts baby in a corner unless you have taped knifes in their hands. Holy cow is Jon Stewart short next to Conan, he looks like a kid.

Who needs writers?
That's what a right-wing, union-hating, Ivey-league attending, yuppie would say.
the daily show made john stewart, and stephen colbert...
craig kilbourn made the daily show...
ergo....craig kilbourn made mike huckabee
If only Kilbourn had a show of his own to make those claims....Oh wait he left his show to make all those great movies. I just can't seem to think of any right now....
