I haven’t watched SNL since 1981 and I’ve never watched Jimmy Kimmel.
I did watch Norm on SNL — YouTube videos.
Jimmy was a very creative guy in his early days in this slot.
He had a non-descript side-kick name Giermo (I believe it was),
and the small things they did were quite funny. I considered
Jimmy to be the best of the late night guys, because he had
his pulse on what was funny and what wasn’t.
He would come up with some off the beaten path thing, and
it was nearly always funny. He would toss stuff out the
window onto the street down below. I used to enjoy that
sort of thing. It was the kind of thing some guys drinking
would think up and do, just for the idiocy of it.
He has just flat destroyed himself.
I wouldn’t watch his show anymore on a dare.
