Jimmy Kimmel Live

Anyone watch this last night? It came on really late on the East Coast, I think at 1am or so.

And, man, Kimmel looked like he wanted to commit suicide, from the start of the show onwards. He kept his eyes averted from the camera, and he seemed really deeply uncomfortable - no real jokes to speak of, no skits, I dunno.

Hosting a show like that, first night, live, after the Super Bowl, has got to be unbelievably nerve-wracking, and I'm sure he's got a shot at making the program work. It took Conan years to get comfortable, and now he's fantastic...still, last night, not a good sign.

Anyone watch, and enjoy, the show?

nope didnt watch it

originally it seemed on howard they made it sound like it was coming on around 11 ish or so when it didnt show up then i changed the channel and went to watch adult swim

i dont know i think it was stupid for kimmel to leave the man show (which i guess is now over) to do this

I watched and enjoyed it.

The funniest parts were when Snoop flipped off the camera a couple times. The censors were too early with their fullscreen 'ABC' sign both times, and they actually showed him giving the finger.

Oh, and that was funny when they were talking about what would be censored, and Jimmy said "This band kicks ass, Hole!". I was surprised that got bleeped.

i hate him and his ass mate corolla.....i give him a couple more shows before he's done. i love how lately they'll just give anybody a show.

I watched it and thought it was pretty funny. But it seemed like a little much for Jimmy. He said on Letterman a few weeks ago it was not his idea to a Live show, and that it was ABCs. And I think by doing it Live it just going to add a whole hell of a lot more preasrure on a first time Talk Show host. Plus there were problems that happan due to being live, like Snoop and the fact that they were supposed to interview John Gruden and he just left.

One thing about Jimmy though, like early Letterman, his kinda of humor could offend some of his guests. He does a lot of pop shots and things to try and embarass the guest. Letterman did this a lot and because of that there is quite a few celebritys that will not go on his show. But it makes it fun to watch.

I like the idea of having a Co-Host though. All this week Snoop Dogg is going to be there, it should be fun to watch.

Its on at 11:30 here in the Central Time Zone, at least it was last night. Which means its head to head with Conan. And thats no good in my Book because I always watch Conan, but I want to watch Kimmel to see how things work out for him. I guess I will have to flip back and forth.

Speaking of Letterman, he absolutely owns Farrah Fawcett, as does Jay Leno. The way those two humiliate her on their shows is just pure evil.
And yeah, Snoop flipping off for the cameras was the best part of the show.

I thought it was boring. Kimmel, who I don't like much anyways, doesn't to fit in with a late night talk show. He never seemed together and I didn't find any of it funny. I think he could do a better job if they don't make it live. He's not going to compete with Leno or Letterman or even Conan, who isn't live anyways.

SC

I like Jimmy Kimmel, but he did a shitty job last night.

I wish him luck in the future.

It wasn't as good as I hoped since it's all talk and no skits. Kimmel's at his best with Conan-style skits rather than just interviewing guests all show.

I also found it odd that he seemed to shy away from the camera and looked around nervously.

I'm going to keep watching though, because it entertained me enough, and I believe he'll get in a groove after a while like Conan did. Kimmel's good stuff, he's just shitting himself because he's live and he's got a lot of pressure on him. Give him time.

Thanks to the dumbass at my local affiliate Kimmel's show won't air here at all. They decided to stick with their current line up, Seinfeld (I spelled that wrong) & Drew Carry reruns, because "it's a very succesful line up for us". They've had those same god damned shows on for years now at that time spot! Fucking blows.

I missed the first one, but I did like the second show. Snoop as a side kick for the first week was a great idea.

Oh, come now. Adam Corolla, I'll admit, is nothing but poop and tit jokes, if you can call them jokes. Jimmy Kimmel, though, is REALLY funny. A lot of the stuff he said on Win Ben Stein's Money (All of his one-liners couldn't have been scripted) and the Man Show was naturally funny, apart from Corolla's reading from the cards and acting... well... like a normal guy.

Second show sucked. You could tell the Rock was pissed to be there only to have Jimmy ignore him to talk to Snoop or bitch about the blizzard thing. If Jimmy's going to have a generic interview show, he needs to interview. If it was annoying for me to watch, I can imagine what it was like for the Rock (who looked like a giant penis with his shaved head).

Shit, I've missed the first two shows. I have to make sure I watch tonight. I enjoyed the Man Show, and I've always thought Jimmy was the funnier of the two. And Snoop Dogg is co-hosting all thsi week? I have to make sure I watch tonight!

So, the Man Show is done, then?

Rock looked a little stuck up to me. Everyone else on the show seemed to be having a good time, except Rock. He was acting a little "To Cool for School" if you ask me. But I don't think you asked me. Meh. I liked the show. Al reading 50 Cents lyrics was gold.

i didnt see it but from other interviews and appearences ive seen the rock do he seems to come off as a nice as hell guy and not stuck up at all

id say it sounds like he was pissed about being on a show and being ignored

which would piss me off too

Sounds pretty good to me, I'll have to check it out.

Only a day after the Jimmy Kimmel's late-night talk show on ABC debuted with Kimmel and guests drinking booze on camera and drinks being served to the audience, ABC has shut down the studio bar. An ABC spokesman told the Associated Press that the network was "not comfortable" with the idea.

That sucks. Fuck the big networks. Comedy Central let you drink on the air...

Anyone know where I could DL episodes of this. I'm still pissed to no end that my local affilate won't broadcast it. I live 5 min from their offices and have really thoght about taking a dump on their front steps.
