Sasha Baron Cohen is on Jimmy Kimmel tonight

[Bombtrack]

If you've never watched Kimmel's show, I think you need to give it a chance. Especially from the beginning. His nightly clip show at the top rivals the Daily show in nightly hilarity IMO.

1. I don't care for Jimmy Kimmel

He can be mean-spirited.

4. First of all, I don't think he is any more than any other late nighter

and his targets are generally deserving of it. Some of his favorites are Arnold and Jay Leno

2. Already tuned in.

I love Ali G. :loveya:

3. Baron-Cohen is super-liberal from what I read in Vanity Fair

Can't wait to see what he has to say since so far, he has been a recluse, rarely doing interviews or press.

7. He was good on th Daily Show as himself

But yes, mostly he's "in character" for the talk show appearances.

11. I saw that appearance

But he was very quiet and John did most of the talking. I'm eager to see more of him, even if it has to be on Kimmel. Here in Chicago it comes on at midnight (five minutes!).

BTW, my sister knows his cousin Simon Baron-Cohen, who is a world renowned autism researcher and author. Apparently, he's pretty funny too. :-)

12. Daily Show interviews can be deeply weird affairs

Sometimes the guest might as well not even be there.

5. He's on right now.

6. Must watch this sunday...he interviews Andy Rooney

and he says that Andy gets really angry with him.

8. What time is Kimmel on?

here on the left coast, anyway?

I never liked him, but Sasha Cohen is a comic genius. I'd watch just for him.

9. It comes on after nightline on the east coast at 12:05

I assume it's 12:05 on the west side as well

10. i just turned it on...it's over...what did i miss?

i love Cohen. Ali G is probably one of my favorite shows.

Booyakasha!
