So Jimmy Kimmel is a republican??

[brettdale]

Just seen his interview with Bill Olielly, Kimmel told Bill, that
he is so so tough on Trump.

And then preceded to laugh at all of Olielly's jokes.

1. no he isn't. he is liberal

this is a comedy show . guests come on mostly to promote their shit . you can't really expect them to do the job of real reporters.

this was discussed before and letterman was the only one who would do it and he retired from his show.

4. I think Seth Meyers is doing a pretty good job.

7. I agree - Seth was never much on my radar,

but he's done some great spots lately really highlighting the incompetence of the media and DT.

10. Jon Stewart was pretty good, too...

several times he ambushed a conservative on his show who expected to ge the comedy routine, but got asked some serious questions by Jon.

11. Stewart was always tougher on the press than on pols

I think he saw his job as watching the watchers. Whenever he took up a cause, it was always helping ordinary people, not affecting major policy changes.

2. He's a mediocre actor and multi-millionaire.

So, maybe.

Bring back Conan!

[melman]

3. Conan is still on

[blogslut]

5. No. He is not.

I would imagine Mr. Kimmel was attempting to be gracious. It's a thing people do.

6. True, but no need to say

"You were hard on trump" whens he not.

8. Kimmel in his early couple of years....

..on Jimmy Kimmel Live did go hard on some guests....then, other guests refused to do his show. Given he was against Leno and Letterman....he couldn't keep that up if he wanted the show to survive. He has a nice studio and comfy chairs for his audience today....but as someone who was in the audience during his first week, the set looked nice, but could tell it was cheaply done. Plus the chairs for the audience were horrible. The kind of cheap chairs you get going to a mediocre hotel on a conference...with back problems, they hurt in 10 minutes...no back problems....an hour is an eternity. So he couldn't keep his hard hitting style like he did while being on KROQ during the Kevin and Bean show up. So...he had to change to the market. I still enjoy his show and one day without using up my vacation time, will see his show in person again....but he ain't no pub. Just plays nice with them because....well one day he might have to put Mat Damon on.

9. I always got from him that he was

From the show with Ben Stein (hey it was a maybe just a gig) to The Man Show with Adam what's his name ( he's making bank with his podcast now) I got that he at least leaned right. He could just be a more tradition Republican.

I was watching Between two Ferns last night and saw his episode. He has to have lost 20-30 pounds since then.
