Why oh why did this ass munch get his own TV show??? His entire schtick seems to be to talk about how much his new show will suck. THAT’s supposed to make me want to watch it? My husband insisted on tuning it in and I was on the verge of hurling large objects at the TV the entire time. The only saving grace was being able to look at George Clooney. Then again, I think he spent more time talking to Snoop Dogg than George. This piece of shit talk show replaced **Politically Incorrect**?? ---

Ahhh, he’ll go the way of Pauly Shore soon enough. Unfunny comedians don’t usually last too long, fortunately. ---

I’m watching it right now…“Why did Celine Dion sing the National Anthem?” he says. :rolleyes: He won’t get terribly far by treading the well-worn path that Don Rickles initally blazed. ---

Yeah, my first reaction on hearing about this was “Who the hell gave this yutz his own show?” His fifteen minutes are just about up. ---

Eh. I’ll watch his show when I see it just because Joel Hodgson (from MST3K) is a writer. ---

He was funny on _Win Ben Stein’s Money_. He was specatularly unfunny on _The Man Show_. And on everything else I’ve seen him on. ---

Bite your tongue, **spooje**. _The Man Show_ is great. I love that show. Right now I’m more pissed at the DC ABC affiliate deciding not to pick the show up. Hey, great! An ER rerun! Assholes. ---

Not sure I’d credit Kimmel with the Man Show’s success, though. He has yet to actually make me laugh. Actually, I don’t think I’ve ever laughed at the Man Show. Mostly I just stare at the chicks on the trampolines… ---

I think him and Adam Carolla make th perfect non-comedic team since they are both equally unfunny. Although, if I had to see one dead it would be Adam because he is just a fucking fuckfucker. God those guys both fucking suck. ---

I’ve been considering making a Pit thread on this subject for some time, but I was trying too hard to make it _just right_. I cannot stand that son of a bitch. He’s annoying, not at all funny, and completely obnoxious to everyone he speaks with. He’s an ill-mannered, squinty-eyed cumstain on the face of the Earth and deserves nothing less than evisceration and having a poisonous toad shoved up his nose. ---

Quit mincing words, man! Do you think he’s funny, or not? ---

The show absolutely sucked. Kimmel needs to go away or at least back to The Man Show. ABC will probably come to their senses shortly and pull the plug. Very ill-conceived. ---

It wasn’t a show! It was just a bunch of people who are more famous than Kimmel, who were supposed to prop up his image by association. What you saw last night is very different from what the show will be. There was very little comedy, it was more like a variety show. I can’t believe it will continue like this. I agree that it sucked, but I don’t think it was representative of the show as it will continue. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-hate-jimmy-kimmel/151184.md?page=2)
