Sorry, I don't watch Kimmel, I dislike him strongly as the next devolution in Letterman-style grinning-nihilist shtick.

The only feature of broadcast television I dislike more intensely than Kimmel's face (absent the sudden appearance of old movies featuring Barbra Streisand, Woody Allen, or Tony Franciosa) is that old dude's phony-pholksy voice-over during Whataburger commercials, which cause me to fly across the room to change channels whenever I hear it.

We're talking major irritant here.

Sorry, man -- but I'd be interested to hear whether the Mouse's favorite TV property censored him.

My major irritant are those "work at home, make a gazillion dollars, visit this website NOW......."

The ad stays the same, but the website changes monthly.


And Lesko, the idiot with the question mark suit...that guy is annoying....

I'm with you on not liking Kimmel; it's the work his staff does in
fishing things out of the media and TV to either re-broadcast or
to edit for parody.
Otherwise, the show ain't for me either.
But I suspect that my local affiliate (in a university town with
a fair smattering of followers of Mohammed) might have hurriedly
decided it was time to pull a cover-up.

But, it could just as well have been a very interesting technical goof.
We'll see.

Jimmy Kimmel rocks. I'm sorry you don't like him, but he's a great comedian. He appeals to the Gen X crowd. Howie Long was reportedly upset over one of his skits of him, back when Kimmel was doing his "picks" on Fox NFL Sunday.

You know, they invented this thing called the "remote control" some time back. Might be time to trade in the old DuMont for a Zenith Space Command. :-)
