possibilities September 14, 2022 Share September 14, 2022 I missed whatever happened at the Emmys. I love Quinta Brunson, so if he did anything disrespectful of her, I will probably hate whatever he did. I'm almost afraid to look for it. I'm trying to figure out if he's the same Kimmel who lived in the neighborhood where a childhood friend of mine grew up. I still remember going to her place and there was a lot of yelling back and forth in a kind of street heckling dynamic between her and some guy on the sidewalk whose last name was Kimmel. I can't remember what his first name was, though. I think she just called him by his last name only. Link to comment

possibilities September 14, 2022 Share September 14, 2022 Thanks for the references! Quinta handled it graciously, but yeah-- stupid stunt, rude, uncalled for. Not the worst thing a person ever did, but still stupid. My friend (and I) lived in upstate NY, so I guess it was a different Kimmel. 1 Link to comment

Here's the thing: Jimmy was setting Jeremy up for a laugh (punchline) about his "hobby" of collecting firetrucks and other large utilitarian vehicles.

Thinking of how likeable and inspiring and reassuring Jeremy Renner came across for all the right reasons in that interview, and also a similarity of physical appearance if not actual phenotype, I am oddly thinking of him as an American version of Volodymyr Zelensky, that is: part real life super hero, but also an actor.

I'm going to come clean, but it means a digression: I had always liked JK, his humor, his personality, his politics. Until he singled out Austin Butler at the Oscars for a razz about "still" sounding like Elvis. It's a whole Internet thing and, as I said, a digression here. So now I'm not such a fan.

chediavolo April 18, 2023 Share April 18, 2023 Haven’t watched Mondays show yet. I hope they address the whole scandal with Guillermo and the Chihuahuas. I’m feeling he got rid of them & got caught & is now making excuses. Poor dogs, but they are better off now. I wish they would get rid of him. He comes across as low on the intelligence scale & quite annoying. But I guess it pays well. 1 Link to comment

I just have to flush out my previous post: He and his show (writers, staff, etc.) are so much better than Seth, Colbert, et al, that there's no comparison. JK's got the talent for this job. I've watched late night shows since Jack Paar and Johnny Carson. I remember when that dolt, Letterman came on in the 80s, lovable tho he can be, he's a complete idiot sometimes. Kimmel, on the other hand, seems to try to be an idiot, and he succeeds, (see ManShow or CrankYankers, or where he inserts cuss words, etc. -- hey, nobody's perfect), but damn does he relate with people, and draw out the very best from every body he has on his show. It's a talent, a gift that none of the rest possess. Then there's his monologue, to which some credit must go to his writers at ABC, but he's the talent, and I'm sure the main contributor to the script. Nobody has ever compared to Jimmy Kimmel, and I've watched them all. Now as to how much he's paid...let me google that for ya one sec.: https://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/celebs/a42711108/jimmy-kimmel-net-worth/ So what is Jimmy Kimmel's net worth? Oh, just $50 million buckaroonies, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Additionally Cosmo said he gets like $15M/yr. I don't care, and tho he's bought a few houses, etc., Jimmy don't act like it's his end-all, be-all, either. He's bigger than some stupid money. And if his damn show wasn't always near the bottom of the talk show ratings (shows the kind of taste and IQ that the American viewing public has) he might get some kind of Mahomesian offer to sign another 5 years. But BOY will miss him. Hell, the USA is nearing Civil War II so there won't be any TV or electricity anyway. So it really doesn't matter much. I heard Craig Carton say how Jimmy's "not funny." That was all it took for me to continue watching Carton's stupid show, the crazy ARodgers-loving SOB can KMA. He's the king of all late night talk shows, ever! Link to comment

gimmyqueue Friday at 01:01 AM Share Friday at 01:01 AM (edited) Hey Red Bridey, thank you for the post. Nobody has touched this thread since back in March 22. Most in here don't seem to like Kimmel much. That's sad. 10 hours ago, Red Bridey said: I just love Jimmy and his delightful relationship with batshit crazy Mike Lindell! He's so kind in a snarky way, it's totally entertaining! He is a kind hearted idjit, God love him. He treats any jagoff with dignity and respect, but then won't hold back on a sharp snark. He gets Guillermo on a regular basis. An example would be asking Guillermo if he'd seen the news like so: "Guillermo, did you see the Trump trial today? Probly not." Haha. But he'll invite idiots like Lindell on his show, or anything. Very unusual guy he is. Heart as big as a house, best describes Jimmy. Smart too, way better monologues than any of the other hosts. I will surely miss that guy. :( Edited Friday at 01:02 AM by gimmyqueue correction 1 Link to comment
