‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ is a late-night desk-and-couch talk show, featuring amiable young comic Jimmy Kimmel, previously best known as a co-host or side kick on such cable favorites as ‘The Man Show’ and ‘Win Ben Stein’s Money’. Guests included the usual Hollywood celebrity parade, along with musical acts, comedians and guest co-hosts such as Snoop Dogg, Kathy Grifin, JAneane Garofalo, DonKing, Mike Tyson and David Alan Grier.
The show was telecast from a big Hollywood theater and emphasized looseness and irreverence, leading to a fair number of bleeps. On the premiere Snoop Dogg made obscene gestures at the camera and guest George Clooney passed around a bottle of vodka. It was later revealed that the audience’s looseness was fueled in part by an open bar provided in the studio. The bar was discontinued after an audience member threw up near a Disney executive (Disney owned ABC) and complaints that the show was encouraging public drunkenness.
Among the recurring skits were white-haired Uncle Frank (Frank Potenza) reporting cluelessly from a red carpet ceremony, Cousin Sal (Sal Iacono) playing sidewalk pranks on passersby and parking lot attendant Guillermo (Guillermo Díaz) garbling the latest gossip from the tabloids. Although the title said the show was live it was actually taped after the first few episodes, due to potential problems with obscenities – which was ironic, given that one of Jimmy’s regular features was “This Week in Unnecessary Censorship”
