Is Jimmy Kimmel popular in USA? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I recently saw a few of his shows and thought they were sooo funny , just wondered if he was popular there?

His show is on late at night(after Nightline and after Midnight ET/PT), I'd say he's pretty popular but not as much as Letterman and Leno. I think pretty much everyone knows who he is.

He was even part of the Michael Jackson trial reinactment and played Jay Leno on the stand - he did a beautiful job of it too - a great Leno impersonation!

I love Jimmy.

Based on his "The Man Show" work, I have not had a desire to see his show.

More often than not, Jimmy Kimmel finishes 6th in the late night ratings out of 7. The ratings are fairly evenly split between Craig Ferguson (CBS, 12:35 AM), Him (ABC at 12/12:30/1 AM, depending on your affiliate), and Carson Daly (NBC, 1:35 AM).

Jimmy's pretty funny, but the only myself and - looking at ratings - most other people watch his show is whenever the Big Three (Dave/Jay/Conan) are all in reruns (or Conan + Dave /or/ Jay)

I don't like him. I've only seen his show four or five times, but he seems like such a jerk. I know he's trying to be funny, but he just seems rude.

I'll watch Conan over Jimmy any day.

I watch him if Dave and/or Conan are in reruns.

I have no idea who he is! If he is on late night TV forget it! I rarely stay up after 10:00 PM!

He used to have another show called "The Man Show". Women would have to have a pretty liberal sense of humour to appreciate this guy. I'm kinda warped, so some of the stuff I found amusing, but I don't think you're missing much for your taste Marlene!

He did do a funny Leno impersonation at the MJ trial - I'll give him that at least. Not normally my cup of tea for the mostpart tho.
