Isn’t the premise of Jimmy Kimmel Live is that the show is, well, live? The [website](http://abc.abcnews.go.com/primetime/jimmykimmel/) makes no mention of the show being cancelled.

:smack: I dunno, I could very well be wrong, but I swear I thought I heard Adam say it was canceled. Either I heard wrong or he had a contract to make at least a certain number of shows.

…now in defense of Payton… this isn’t the Man Show Appreciation thread… so bully for him/her so feeling so strongly that they wanted to pipe up.

I liked BITS of the show… but not all of it…  
I dont’ see how it would work as well with new hosts…but I also said that about the DAily Show when Stewart took over.
