The PeekScores of Late Night Television’s Top Talk Show Hosts

What is PeekScore?: PeekScore is a rank from 1 to 10, assigned to every person. The higher someone’s score, the “more important” they are on the web. In calculating your PeekScore and updating it often, PeekYou takes into account your known presence and activity on the Internet, including but not limited to; your blogging, participation in social networks, the number of your friends, followers, or readers, the amount of web content you create, and your prominence in the news.

Keeping this one very simple today. With this entry, we’re taking a look at the online lives of American late-night television’s (both broadcast and cable) most prominent talk show hosts, and measuring and ranking them using our PeekScore system. But you probably already guessed that.

Some, like our number 2, actively participate in a robust online existence – particularly with social media – and engagement with his or her fanbase. Others, like our number 1, are bluntly incredibly famous and dominant here in cyberspace simply on the back of that extraordinary celebrity. Either way, there’s not a weak digital footprint to be found below, and not too many surprises with the order of things either.

Is there anyone you’re surprised isn’t included? Is there anyone whose PeeckScore is higher or lower than you might have expected? Let us know in the comments.
