      Very different styles of humor, but for me Martin Short and Norm Macdonald are the two best talk show guests of all time.

    • @JimmyJamJack
      @JimmyJamJack 2 місяці тому

      @@NetCerpher Wayyy too many recurring guests to make that claim. I always liked Richard Simmons myself but he became more a gem as time went on. Johnny had a falling out with Joan so perhaps same as DL and JL. Rarely does a talent come along without some influence ("standing on the shoulder of giants") Young comedians, their egos & ambitions, their agents, their insecurities towards their future careers; sounds like a combustible situation. In any case 40 years is going to cause some polishing of the history on either side. I personally don't like what JL did to Conan and DL's opinion of JL, to this day, is more honed than either of ours could be.
