With Dave, Jay, and Craig in reruns, Conan packing up for L.A., and Jimmy Fallon waiting to move in, the late-night schedule is mostly reruns tonight. This leaves a huge post-Oscar-night joke-gap. I want to hear the annual wrap-up thoughts from the night-time guys who read the jokes for a living, don’t you?
This means we must place our faith in Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, and Jimmy Kimmel, all putting on fresh shows this evening. My guess is that Stewart, as a former Oscar host himself, will come out punching with the best material, followed closely by Colbert. (Who will make the best retort to Hugh Jackman’s “The musical is back!” manifesto? Who will dissect Sean Penn’s acceptance speech most amusingly?)
I enjoyed ABC’s promo for Jimmy Kimmel:
… but I’ll be curious to see if Kimmel can follow up with material as strong as Stewart and Colbert.
What do you think? Who’s your go-to guy when the other chat hosts take the week off?

I’m placing my bets on Colbert. The man is the only one who’s consistently funny to me. Stewart does have good timing though, but Colbert’s funnier. And I’m not even going to bother adding Kimmel into the equation.
That commercial with Cruise was pretty hilarious though.
Kimmel already did a post oscar show last night. There’s only Stewart and Colbert.
Stewart’s my go-to guy whether the other hosts are off or not. He’s the only one I watch now.
I can’t wait to see what Colbert has to say. He predicted the major winners in his “DaColbert Code” segment just before the break last week. Jon will probably have some good zingers, too!
2 years in a row Colbert has gone 5-for-5…not too shabby! Stewart will riff on Jackman, though…
Stewart for me. Only one I watch.
