What’s the point of split screening the audience Q&A after the monologue with the commercials?

And it's onnly for a minute. My guess is that they do it so u can watch kind of what goes on during commercials, just for a minute. I don't mind.

They should at least put them online with the audio as an extra.

Patton Oswalt is hilarious:

As someone who is apparently the same age as Hulk Hogan, I was both amused and nodding in agreement to: 

• You know you're getting old when you lose a wrestling match to your tank top

But there were much better lines throughout the first 10 minutes of JK's opening monologue last night:

My personal laugh-o-meter is always dialed down to near zero, so these days it's closer to zero on the Kelvin scale, but for some reason this My Pillow Guy bit amused me: 

This video should start at the beginning of the my pillow segment, at about the 10:30 mark.

[gimmyqueue]

Yeah, i'm starting to like that bit. Where he refers to trump as Jesus, asks the worm if it's okay, wiz of Oz, Opera Winfrey, the fucking phones ringing, blessed w/the naturally curly pubes, Krimbel, i misssed one line.

I've read the show has suspended tapings due to wildfires,  I hope everyone is okay.

I imagine some of his staff/family would have been impacted, one way or the other, by the fires.  I think Jimmy lives in Hermosa Beach ... quite a distance from the destruction.  All those poor people have a tough row to hoe in their future.

Last night's opening monologue was Emmy-worthy for Jimmy, the writers, the graphics team, et al.:

Hiya Shifter and all. I have not been checking in here like i should, my apologies. Oh, and Happy New Year everybody! it's not march yet is it? Tho not so attnentive here, i've been trying to keep up w/JK, God love 'em. Anyhow gotta see how Jon Stewart's hand is after he cut it like a dope Monday. BBL, ya'll take good care, now, heah.

[gimmyqueue]

hey shifty, crow, ty fer da likes. :) 

I gotta see wtf's w/Maher and Meyers. Boy r those two a pair to draw to. Maher w/his audiences applauding 78 times a show, (I counted one night), and Meyers w/his unkempt appearance and weird-ass hug greeting to every single guest. I swear he'd hug the Pope that way if he ever came on the show. Kimmel's perfect tho, except talk about a weirdo. First w/the stoopid ass Man Show w/that right winger partner of his, and then he's got Crank Yankers. Ever watch that disgusting, repulsive puppet show of his? Just ridiculous, and u'd think he would have better sensibilities than that (and he does, really) but it's just weird. Hey, he's just a human, as capable of frailties as any of us. 

I still love him and will miss his acuity w/his point of view on our human condition and political misbehavior is astounding in every way. Boy i will miss that guy. Oh well, who cares, in a billion years we won't even remember Jimmy Kimmel. Who remember Johnny Carson? haha, a few, maybe, just a few. Not that Carson had any of the talent Jimmy displays nightly.

Although I was mildly offended by (and dismissive of) Kimmel when he labeled those of us who like to see the sunrise as "crazies" (on the Monday episode after the DST time change) I reconnected with him the next night with his reference to the Titanic, which I too see as a metaphor too big to ignore:

• "Welcome to another episode of how the hell do we make this funny;
  I was wondering I wonder if they had a comedian on the Titanic" (opening monologue)

since my Wordle words limerick for Monday had likewise included:

• Does disUNITY among the ranks rankle Don?
  Nah, he dELITEs in the chaotic distraction,
  WHITEʟʟ ’em to cool down?
  Let newshounds chase them now,
  While filial SPITE steers his Titanic actions.
  😡🏴‍☠️🌊🧊🚢🆘🛟🥶😵

I just hate hearing bad stuff about m'man Jimmy. I think he's probly got the biggest heart of any celeb out there, def. any of the other late night hosts. Always giving gifts, very apropos ones at that. Like that dumb box he gave to Pinkman  the other night, but it was funny, and cute at the same time. Ah fuggit, i gotta go before i get into more trouble. Nice to keep hearing from you Mister Shifter. We should find a chatroom sometime and blab. :)

From last night:

Friday Pete Heth dropped by the White House to show off the new military plane they're naming in honor of guess who our 47th president we've had the F-15 we have the had the F-16 the F18 the F22 the F35 now we have the f47…

“…F47 sounds more like a vanity plate you get if you wanted everybody to know you don't like Donald Trump”

I also LOL'd at:

• “No one on the chain thought to ask, ‘Who is JG? What are these initials?’ They could have been leaking secrets to Jeff Goldblum, for all they know.” 

…probably because I f'love Jeff Goldblum and think if he had been the "JG" included on the chat that it would have made the most enjoyable stories for the next 4 years.
