Who would replace Letterman?

What about Tina Fey? She can write comedy, I bet she would ask some good guest questions, and she's sorta cute.

Although I think NBC owns her soul, so she probably would't be on CBS.

 

I don't think you mean those two literally, but I'll point it out anyway -- they're both dead. (Nitpicky on myself: the man who played Larry Bud Melman... Calvert Deforest)

 

How about Seth Myers? I don't know if he can handle the interviewing part of the show, but I think he can the monologue and "bit" parts of the show just fine. He's a bit snarky in a Letterman kind of way and he's obviously got the "political/current events" humor down, which is the staple of these shows.

 

He's taken. He'll be replacing Fallon when Fallon replaces Leno in February.

Though I guess he can always follow the Letterman path. 12:30 on NBC to 11:30 on CBS.

Jimmy Fallon after Leno takes back the Tonight Show...

 

this is still my pick...he's quick, witty, dry, smart and polished.
only problem is he'll likely be too old when Dave finally packs it in...
