Jimmy Kimmel: TV Guide News

Jimmy Kimmel Grills the Lost Bosses (Part 2) | TV Show Previews | 4/24/2008
This is part two of funnyman Jimmy Kimmel's interview with Lost producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof. TV Guide sat in on the Q&A as the talk-show host grilled the show's masterminds with his burning questions about how the season — and series — will end.Jimmy Kimmel: Will Walt continue to grow until he's 9, 10, 11 feet tall?Carlton Cuse: That's one of our favorite lines of the whole show: "Who told you that, Taller Ghost Walt?" You know, we had lunch at Arnie Morton's with Malcolm David Kelley, the actor who plays Walt. Damon Lindelof: This was before the finale last year.Cuse: And he was still the same size. We were like, "Thank god!" So we wrote him into the finale and then somehow, in that intervening six weeks, he hit puberty hardcore. He shows up [to shoot the episode] and it's like, "Wow, can he slam-dunk?"Kimmel: See, you should've gone for an Emmanuel Lewis or a Gary Coleman. [Laughs] In my opinion, the episode where Nikki and Paolo were buried alive was... read more
Jimmy Kimmel Grills the Lost Bosses (Part 1 of 2) | TV Show Previews | 4/22/2008
When it comes to Lost, Jimmy Kimmel's not f--king around.On a Monday morning earlier this month, the late-night talk-show host arrived on the Disney Studio lot in Burbank tasked with a mission: Grill Lost's executive producers, Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, about their massively dissected drama, which returns April 24 to round out its critically hailed fourth season. (We were lucky enough to tag along!) Kimmel, a diehard fan since the pilot, has frequently championed the series on Jimmy Kimmel Live! — interviewing cast members, trekking to Hawaii for a set visit and coining a catchphrase for Hurley ("Hey, ladies, it's Hurley time!"). He's even given the world "Lost: The Musical," a parody skit featuring a Riverdancing polar bear. (And you thought you were obsessed.) As Kimmel greeted Lindelof and Cuse — there were initially few signs of the funnyman who recently fired up YouTube with his A-list viral video "I'm F--king Ben Affleck" (a retaliation to girlfriend Sarah... read more
Rosie Dreams of Giving Lap Dances?! | Today's Top Videos | 4/21/2008
If someone were to ask about the one thing you always wanted to do, but haven’t got around to yet, what would be your answer be? Well if you said, "Give Jimmy Kimmel a lap dance," you and Rosie O'Donnell have something in common. Rosie responded to a fan with this answer on her blog recently only to have Kimmel address and accept her offer on his show. Guess that Ben Affleck video really must have caught her fancy. read more
Jimmy Kimmel's Doing What with Richard Simmons? | Today's News: Our Take | 4/2/2008
It's only been a few weeks since Jimmy Kimmel was doing you-know-what to you-know-who, but now he's back with a new video, this time with fitness and sweatband guru Richard Simmons to reportedly try some workouts (Disclaimer: getting "whipped into shape," according to People.com). Kimmel taped the new video in honor of his upcoming 1000th episode, airing April 3. And while just a few frames from the new video have surfaced (here, on ET.com), at least there's an image of their costumes while some sweatin' to some oldies (or maybe new-ies, we'll see) together. What would be your dream routine for Kimmel and Simmons? Is Kimmel wearing short-shorts going to be a riot or a train wreck? And how must Simmons feel, constantly being the object of so many spoofs? I'm praying for answers to all my questions — and more! — when the video airs on Jimmy Kimmel Live at 11:35 pm/ET — a special new time for Thursday's 90-minute show (ABC). — Anna Dimond read more
How Kimmel's Video Became a Star-studded Affair | Today's News: Our Take | 2/26/2008
After watching Jimmy Kimmel's hilarious post-Oscars "I'm F--king Ben Affleck" music video, I had one lingering thought I just couldn't put to rest: How in the world did they get stick-in-the-mud Harrison Ford to play along?Apparently, all they had to do was ask. When Affleck learned that Ford found the humor in an earlier video, in which Kimmel's girlfriend Sarah Silverman confessed to getting down with Matt Damon, they approached the Indiana Jones star and found him more than willing to play a part. Ford was just one in a shockingly large group of celebs, including Brad Pitt, Robin Williams, Cameron Diaz and Josh Groban, who were eager to make an appearance in Kimmel's jokingly vengeful retort.Even with all that star power on hand, shooting the clip took quite a while. New York's Daily News reports that the scene in which Kimmel and Affleck almost kiss required 10 takes because the pair couldn't stop laughing. But all the hard work was worth it — the video has already been... read more
