The Best Late Night TV Hosts

Or YouTubers, depending on when you watch them.

The Best Late Night TV Hosts
Pursuitist

Although I cannot claim to have watched any of these live more than a couple of times, YouTube has given us the gift of Late Night television accessibility during the day. Like many other people on the internet, clips from these shows are some of my favorites on YouTube, and I find myself spending quite a bit of my time on YouTube watching them. With that, I wanted to highlight my personal favorite hosts on the late night spectrum. There are a couple of well knowns that will not be on this list, not because I don't like them, but because I simply haven't found time to devote to watching their stuff-so yes, James Corden and Samantha Bee are on my to-do list.

Conan

This guy knows how to do stupid right...most of the time. Admittedly, he is a little much at some times. Most of the time, though, he is a welcome goof ball that goes the extra mile to make a fool out of himself. My hat's off to him, because it usually works brilliantly. This bit with Dave Franco makes me laugh every single time!



Jimmy Kimmel

While Kimmel is one of the most popular talk shows out there, I never get the vibe that he is one of the most beloved-and I don't know why. Kimmel is one of my absolute favorites; his mean spirited sense of humor is, for me, a refreshing voice in the talk show world. And Kimmel himself is willing to take some heat; he often makes himself the butt-end of his own joke. Like Conan, it usually works out pretty well. Plus, who doesn't love his "rivalry" with Matt Damon?


Jimmy Fallon

This guy, while not quite my favorite (anymore), is definitely the king of late night television. From SNL fame to the Late Show, he took over the coveted Tonight Show to much success. Indeed, Fallon will go down as the Johnny Carson or David Letterman of his generation, being the most popular late night television host of today; and with good reason, his bright personality is hard to resist. Honestly, everything that Fallon does just oozes cool. While the clip I've chosen isn't his most popular (not even close) I do think it is a prime example of how cool Fallon and his show are.


John Oliver

This is my favorite late night comedian of them all. I only recently discovered Oliver and his lampooning of the news, and I instantly fell in love. His sense of humor is unpredictable, and absolutely nails whatever subject he is discussing. He has interviewed Edward Snowden and even started his own fake church. It's kind of ridiculous how hilarious he is. His online clips from his show are usually pretty long, so I've chosen a web exclusive here-but its a prime example of his random and hilarious sense of humor.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
