No, like iphones, computers and almost any other electronics they have a sensor, it lets as much power as it needs and then blocks it! so it doesnt really matter if you leave it in!

^ Actually it does use up power even with nothing plugged in. Same with other chargers.

Does the same go for leaving the tv and a charger plugged in?

Leaving a TV and charger plugged in can lead to energy waste, as both can draw power even when not in use. While a modern TV may have low standby power consumption, chargers can still consume energy when connected to an outlet, especially if left plugged in without a device.

Do you waste electricity if you leave your phone charger plugged in?

No. Electrical appliances, when plugged in, create a "circuit." That means that there's an entry and an exit with a powered device somewhere inline. That's why there are two prongs on a plug. On the power adapter for your cell phone the circuit isn't complete unless it's plugged into the phone, so no power will flow through it. ______________ Not entirely true. Notice that the power pack, even with no device plugged in, remains warm to the touch; that's positive evidence that the device continues to draw power. However, the drain is minimal.
