TV: Jimmy Kimmel

[ClassLessCoyote]

I saw him in Pitch Perfect 2 and he sucked in the movie. He also wasn't funny on MadTv.

Coyote,.. I've never found Kimmel funny either. But humor is subjective..
I saw Kimmel Christmas shopping at the Sherman Oaks Fashion Square (circa 2005-2006).. that was admittedly cool.
Around that same holiday season, same mall, I shared a bench with Robert Patrick (guy who replaced Mulder on X-Files/cop from T2). I think we were both waiting on wives to finish their hunting & gathering..

I mostly remember him from watching Win Ben Stien's Money before school.

He's the only late night person I find funny tbh.

I also find his brand of tackling politics and social issues to be less performative than the other ones which I appreciate.

While I don't watch late night TV, I do find Kimmel funny generally. But I go back with him to the Man show days, lol.

Agreed. Which is why I think his statements seem to have more resonance among the general population than Colbert's do. You can see the calculations going on behind everything Colbert's Late Show does whereas Kimmel's politicking feels much more visceral and genuine.

Ha, me too. I was also a fan of the Man Show.

I miss Letterman. Don't think much of Fallon or Kimmel and I miss how good Conan O'Brien used to be.

 

[John Price]

He's not Fallon so he has that. Plus cousin sal.

 

[Neutrinos]

Kimmel is a smartass. I enjoy his brand of humour

 

[Sens]

I like him and think his work with Matt Damon is exceptional

 

[Langdon Alger]

Kimmel is great. Conan and Colbert were funnier on their old shows. I enjoy Seth Meyers closer look segment. Corden is allright, but I only watch if he has guests I like. Fallon is awful.

 

[Mantis]

Better than Fallon.

 

[Bures Elbow]

Craig Ferguson was the best, miss him

 

[JackSlater]

I only watched his show when it was new, and I must say that it was the worst late night show I've ever seen. Endless internet clips and Kimmel was terribly awkward. His new crying persona is quite different than his original persona on the Man Show, though probably equally unfunny. The only late night show I ever liked was prime Conan on Late Night. Even with very limited viewing in recent years there is no way that Kimmel is as bad as Fallon and Myers at least.

Ferguson, Stewart and Letterman all gone has made late night less enjoyable.

Myers' show feels so damn pointless. It's only mildly amusing when he has comedians on that he's friends with.

I think Meyers’ show improved when he went from doing a traditional monologue to just sitting at the desk. Much better. I enjoy the first 15 minutes of his show, but will not continue to watch unless I like the guests.

He's just not a particularly funny person. I don't like anyone who came out of that era of SNL other than sometimes Tina Fey (writing Mean Girls goes a long, long way) and he's probably the worst. He gives off this air of self-satisfaction with his non-jokes (or weak jokes) that I have no interest in seeing.

Shout out to Craig Ferguson as well, he was solid because he tried different things ala Conan. Whisper in to Carson Daly, as horrible a late night host as there has ever been.
