[history]
Jimmy Kimmel, Co-Host of Comedy Central's 'The Man Show' could be headed to ABC as a late night host.
ABC both covets younger viewers for its late night programming and is reportedly looking to end the run of 'Politically Incorrect With Bill Maher.'
Creating a new late night show with Kimmel would accomplish both goals.
Politically Incorrect's contract expires at the ned of the year.
Relations between the show and the network have long been cool, and were made worse when Maher critized the U.S. Military shortly after Spetembber 11.

My experience is that a lot of young people resent having their noses rubbed into political correctness by their teachers. After twelve years of brainwashing in school and four years in college it gets tiresome. Only the most conformist come out as good little leftists. So why would watching a politically correct so-called Politically Incorrect comedy show amuse them?

Well, at least he has said that he wants Osama and the terrorists dead, which is more than we can say for Maher who thinks the terrorists "were anything but cowards" (and that's the quote Billy boy that you need to live with).

Jimmy Kimmel is not some pansy libertarian like Bill Maher, this is going to be one show you should watch..
Just for the Boy Scout sketches asking young girls if he can 'Walk the Old Lady' across the street.

I don't know about his politics, but The Man Show is the most creative (and hilarious) series on the air.
Ziggy Zaggy, Ziggy Zaggy Oi, Oi, Oi..!!!!!

There are plenty of members of NOW I do not want to see on a trampoline.
I wonder how Katrina Vanden Heuvel would look bouncing on a tramploine in a bikini?

Did you see the Man Show where the Juggie Twins (in photo) played strip basketball against Adam and Jimmy? Both Juggies played basketball in college. They were awesome, but they lost.

'They have no clue how to manage a late- night franchise and I wish Kimmel the best of luck-he's going to need it, Maher's manager, Mark Gurvitz tells the Los Angeles Times. What a bitter little schmuck. If Mark Gurvitz think that ABC caused this show's woes, he is truly delusional.

Did you see the man show with "The Man Show Boy" where he was asking College Girls to have sex with him or the one where he was playing "hey mister" ? Thoses were soo funny.
To: JoeGar
I also like the 'chats' between Jimmy and his fake son, it's a lot like the old Airplane movies.
To: CollegeRepublican
I hope Jimmy takes "The Man Show Boy" to his new show.
