Whether it is a funny joke about the latest celebrity scandal, a bit of banter with a guest or an unexpected ad lib, there's nothing we like more than funny quotes from our favorite talk show hosts. After all, most of our favorite hosts come from a comedy background, whether it's stand-up, like Craig Ferguson or writing and producing, like Conan O'Brien.

So when they take a jab at someone in the news, a surly (or silly) celebrity or just crack wise at exactly the right time, we take note.

And then we share.
