I’ve been a fan of Jimmy Kimmel since Win Ben Stein‘s Money. Jimmy was the reason I watched that show. I tolerated Ben Stein. When Jimmy left to do The Man show, which, of course, I also watched, I tried watching it with other people, I think Jimmy’s cousin Sal may have even been given a shot for a few episodes, But the others? Lame. I knew Jimmy was destined for bigger and better things. Just as I knew the same for David Letterman, when I got up early to watch his morning show with Rich Hall and Edie McClurg.

Kimmel is a very funny guy and has a great TV personality.

ain't no words to express how MUCH I appreciate y'all cutting the entrances with the ANNOYING A** audience screaming like animals like ironically on Kimmel's which is by far the most insufferable like seriously can't they at least turn it down?? finally a late night channel for grownups, every single talk show channel could and should learn from this one fr

Actually Dave set the stage for Kimmel's lame 'political' humor. In the old days he'd take a swing at both Clinton and Bush then throw TVs off the roof. But in his later years he became a standard, vacuous Hollywood lefty. "Woke up" and had climate change pundits on in place of stupid pet tricks. And was always bitter toward Leno for taking the Tonight Show from him (in his mind.)
