i don't think it's too crowded; there are different shows that attract different audiences and I don't think too many people watch more than 2 different shows at a time - there really isn't a whole lot of overlap.

i watch Craig Ferguson religiously every night (even the reruns), I would watch Letterman if he's got a good guest on or if I am caught up on my DVR viewing, If they have a good guest on I might check out Carson Daily or Conan, but I would never watch Jimmy Fallon, Chelsey Handler, Colbert, Stewart or any of those other guys.
