Ooh, no question for me, hands down it is David Michael Letterman. I like his cynical, sharp wit. Yeah, he has off nights, but he's still great. To me, Leno is far too much of the celebrity butt-kisser. Sigh. I also appreciate Letterman's self-depecrating nature, how he will make fun of himself, Les Moonves and CBS, the Show, etc...
And I love Paul, Biff Henderson, the guys who do the Oprah transcripts, George, Sirujal and Mujubir, Rupert Gee, Dave's Mom Dorothy, they are all household names thanks to Dave. I never tire of his Top Ten List, even if they are sometimes lackluster. And Thursdays rock b/c he plays, "The Fastest Growing Quiz Sensation" Know Your Current Events, Zip Codes, Cuts of Meat, etc.
Gotta love Dave...
