We feel for late-night hosts. We really do. In a world of tightly written 12-episode-a-season dramas and reality shows that write themselves, the bits on these nightly talk shows can look stale by comparison.

Sure, when the writing staffs of these shows are at their highest highs, they can produce bits that linger for decades in the cultural consciousness. But, when they hit lows, boy, they hit rock bottom. Whether they have been produced by fly-by-night, quickly cancelled cable shows or the network late-night giants, many awful segments have lulled us to sleep on those insomniac nights on the couch in front of the TV.

It's time to shout out the worst material produced by the hardest working men in show business, with The 25 Worst Late-Night Talk Show Segments of All Time.
