Wow I think this is the most successful poll we've had here with 38 votes and a dead tie between the two. I like it very much.

Where is the "I like them both equally" vote? Bah. That makes for boring posts. I prefer a little violent MY GUY IS BETTER THAN YOURS. Otherwise, all we get is boring compromise and plain old truth. No fun.

I like both hosts equally, but I decided to vote for Mike because I consider the Sci-Fi era very underrated.

It's very close; they're both great. But there's still a clear winner here. I think Mike was demonstrably better in the theater. Joel wasn't bad at all. Mike's dry delivery just works better in the theater. But while Mike had some fantastic sketches--the Ingmar Bergman/Schlitz spoof for one--Joel's sketches were consistently far superior. There's far more nuance to Joel's sketches that transcended the more straight forward nature of Mike's. I also feel the paternal relationship Joel had with the bots created a dynamic with more inherent comedy to mine. Mike's relationship with the bots was more fraternal by comparison. Still great, but it somehow felt like there was a little less to work with comedically. So while Mike was a step-up in the theater, Joel was on another level when it came to the sketches. So I'm giving this one to Joel.

I’ve always been more Joel-leaning personally - I always liked the fatherly bond he had with the bots and I felt he added a bit more spice to his jokes in the theaters. That said, I also feel Mike kept the show going, and I also feel the original series “matured” quite a bit as Mike took over as host.

Comedy Central Mike is honestly the best of the show imo.
