I'd love to see her as his replacement.

I like Ellen but HATE her afternoon show!!! The format is terrible. Didn't like her at the Academy Awards this year.

i have been seeing a lot of tweets regarding this on twitter.....seems like there are a lot of people who would love to see her move into the position.

I like her but she's too saccharine to be a good late night fit.

She was awful as a presenter at the AA's this year.

Was Yuban, then changed to Plaid Pants due to forum upgrade, and apparently, I'm back to being Yuban.

I think she is probably more popular with female viewers than male viewers and late night is more slanted toward the male viewer..

Isn't most of the world slanted toward males? Just saying......................

Interesting point.

I would love to see her have that slot as well but her show might not transfer well to late night? I don't know but she is very entertaining.

I like Ellen, but I don't watch her afternoon show and I would not watch any night show because I already do not watch them . . . I simply can't stay awake that long. I'm lucky if I catch the news at 11 and have been missing my 10 pm shows, or half of them, for months now. So I can't comment on who would be good in a nighttime slot.

My suspicion is that any woman would not do well at night, but I could be very wrong.

I think Ellen is better in the format she has created for herself. I can't picture her just sitting in Dave's chair and not doing her usual pranks and dancing.

Same with Steve Harvey, I think he is very funny but on his own show. He wouldn't fit in that format either.

I think they need a comedian that can sit there and be funny plus be a good host. Trouble is most of them are getting older too. I can't think of any younger ones that would be that good. There are a lot of good actors that are funny but they wouldn't give up their day job!

I would like to see guest hosts that they have done in the past with other shows like Leno and Regis and Kelly. Let's see who would be a good fit. Certainly not Conan or Arsenio. I think it would be a riot to have Leno come in once and guest host. Many would turn in for those tv ratings.
