A fine selection of entries – well done. I found it difficult to narrow this batch to a final five, but luckily my God complex got me through it. I admire you all for being able to focus and remain calm at a time when the late-night television landscape is so clouded with uncertainty.

Time to vote. Cast your e-ballot below. The winner receives a gift certificate from Amazon.ca, courtesy of Feschuk.Reid (Feschuk.Reid: The Quicker Picker-Upper). The runners-up receive the eternal esteem of a grateful nation, ie. nothing.

Voting closes upon the witching hour (2 p.m. ET – that’s the witching hour for working witches who can’t stay up til midnight.)
