It’s hard to tell if Rove is still funny. A lot of the time his shows are a disappointment and far from funny, others however are good. Personally I think Rove has "lost it" since his new studio makeover. So is Rove still funny?

he's as funny as his writing staff. Not forgetting his sheer wit (pause for uncomfortable silence) but he's a nice bloke though don't you think :

I think his nice and geniune but not funny

I still find him funny somewhat but not as much as before.

Some of the stuff he does is just downright lame.

And that drummer bit is getting mighty old and unfunny.

NOPE! I don't think I've watched him since 2004, unless I hear about someone interesting being on (rare)

I've never considered him funny.  He's just someone who does interviews.

I think he's funny when he's not trying to be. Take this week's show with Chris Isaak. Mind you, Chris himself was hilarious.  Rove's comedic skills shine more when situations are impromptu. His 'staged' gags aren't funny at all.

Whereas Peter Hellyer is very funny, and I think they finally realise that, and Peter is always featured on the promos. Nobody is watching Rove just for Rove anymore, and luckily he does get some good guests on there. I can take it or leave it these days, whereas once I would always watch it.

Pete is definately funny and I agree Rove is funnier when he isn't trying so hard. Corinne was the least funny of the lot so losing her shouldn't make too much difference. Maybe if Hughsy became a semi-regular..

Rove is not as funny as he used to be, I sorta wish it stayed the same. Some parts are still funny though, and deserves a few more viewers than it has now. If it is cancelled, what will replace it?

I think so too. Kinda like the Ellen DeGeneres show. Most of the staged jokes are not funny at all but when she's herself she is funny. I stopped watching Rove after the first year really but I still don't mind it and would occasionally watch it if I caught it.

With the exception of this weeks show, which didn't go well, I think he's been pretty funny recently.
Doesn't really matter if Peter is funnier or not, if he had his own show it would be a differant gig altogther and only then perhaps it could be gauged after we got used to him and were more clear about his predictability.  We don't see Peter in front of the camera for the majority of the time, just for a bit here and there and he's a good enhancement to the show.

One bad show is just one bad show anyway.  Some people have been comparing Rove and Letterman.  Letterman has had entire bad years here and there.

I still think Rove is funny, but I don't Rove Live every week...usually only when really interesting celebrities are on, which is most of the time anyway.

I've been watching Letterman since '93 when nine first aired  it and I don't really think he's had a bad year as such. He went through a lean patch after the infamous 'uma/oprah' affair at the oscars but even then he was entertaining. And strangely around that time the late show started a run of about five consecutive wins at the emmys for best talk show.
