I'm seeing a lot of negativity and "Good Riddance" to people like James Corden and Trevor Noah leaving their posts, but that begs the question: Is there anyone currently that would actually be "I don't want to see them leave" or did we pass that era already?

Graham Norton has been doing it for ages and is still pretty good at it.

The guy who has dominated that category at the Emmys, John Oliver.
Okay, you may not consider him a talk show host since he rarely has guests.

In terms of the traditional talk show format (monologue, sketches, guest talk) Conan was the last one to really make the concept work, especially after Letterman and Ferguson retired.
But even Conan seemed to be tired of the limitations of the concept by the end, and the ones that are excelling either are doing it a different way (Oliver) or just feel pretty stagnant (Colbert & Fallon).
In a lot of ways it feels like internet content, especially podcasts have effectively replaced it.

Serious answer, Letterman. He struck a balance between poking fun at pop culture and just being silly while also not overwhelming his interviews like Fallon will by reacting wildly.

I don’t see why there’d be negativity towards Trevor Noah as he was actually fine at it. Now James Corden… actually I don’t want to get banned so I’ll stop. but Yeah Craig Ferguson was superb.

Letterman wwas teh last one I bothered to keep up with. First saw him when he was early in his NBC run.
From then,and I was maybe 9,until he moved to CBS I never missed an episode. Would record them and watch half while getting ready for school in the morning and other half once I got home and was doing homework.
CBS run was good bbut I tapped out around 2004ish.
Watched at least a little of most of the modern guys and none of them keep my attention.

I really liked Trevor Noah. He just wasn't Jon Stewart. Those were almost impossible shoes to fill.
Conan was great. John Oliver is less talk show host (since he never has guests to interview) and more comedic news presenter. Colbert was great at first but has gotten pretty stagnant. Fallon is terrible and always has been.
Jimmy Kimmel and Seth Meyers are the best hosts on American TV still going today I think.

I liked Ferguson. I think he was criminally underrated.
