Are they really going to give Satan an hour of prime time? And ABC must also have Jimmy Kimmel Live promos scattered about the commercial breaks.

I haven't seen anything online about it. Maybe they aren't even aware he hosts the show. I think they would receive much more criticism for pulling a prime time show.

Snopes says he wasn't fired.

I can’t find anything either. But I asked here and at another board. I figure between the two someone will live in one of those markets and be able to tell me.

It’s been celebrities playing for charity lately, but it keeps coming back, so to answer your question, yes.

Not a fan of the show, or not a fan of the celebrity version? I personally would rather see regular everyday people playing.

Or wait. A third option. Maybe not a fan of the current host?

Having only celebrities on quiz shows is like all awards shows—just pats on the back. Even losing celebs get SOMETHING for charity.

I never saw “Win Ben Stein’s Money” with Kimmel as a sidekick, but when I was first online in the late 1990’s, some game show Usenet group fawned all over Kimmel.* Whatever.

Anyway, I am not really fond of any modern game shows where the answer-reveal to a big question is preceded by either a drum roll, darkened set, or showing a loved one in the audience shaking like a leaf. JUST GET GOING! :P (After all, added commercial time means less gameplay as it is.)

[* Has conservative Ben Stein chimed in on Kimmel lately? If not, he has been strangely silent.]

Win Ben Stein's Money was a great show.

I saw someone on social media say they showed it, so I’m just going accept that answer as being true.
