Jimmy Kimmel kind of blew everyone away last night when he entered the stage of his own show last night dressed up like Jay Leno to deliver his monologue. Pretty funny bit, especially since Jimmy is often the forgotten host of late night. What was funnier though, was that he kept the bit up for the entire show, hosting with a prosthetic chin and wig and telling “Leno jokes” (Sample: “Do you know what ABC stands for? Always Bump Conan.”) Perhaps one of the best parts of the whole thing is Jimmy’s bandleader, Cleto Escobedo, doing a Kevin Eubanks impression to the side. I don’t think anything about this whole stunt made me laugh as hard as Cleto’s Eubanks.
It’s about 40 minutes long, but if you have a chance to watch it on your lunch break, do it. It’s very much worth it.
I thought this was simply brilliant of Kimmel.
I’m really glad that you posted this, Molls, because it his comedy gold! Everything from “Did you hear about this?” to the music cues after every single joke made me laugh. Kimmel is awesome, but not better than Conan.
That was very funny.
Glad Conan is getting support.
