Kimmel was the least talented.
Early guys like Gleason began the whole thing.
Carson is, and may always be the King. His timing was impeccable, his ability to pull the best out of guests may never be replicated.
Letterman was a liberal loon, perfectly willing to lie and distort to promote his politics - but, nevertheless, he was also damn good at what he did.
And others.
And somewhere, lingering in their shadows, is Kimmel. Small, not very funny, nothing whatsoever like his predecessors... yet because he preached to the choir, the choir kept watching.
