Jimmy Kimmel once said that Jared Leto was his worst guest. The other day, Howard Stern asked the late night host who are some of his favorites.
The first two names that came to his mind are frenemies Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal.
The rest of the list is pretty much comedians. Kimmel started with David Spade and said that he is a good storyteller. Spade is so good at it that Jimmy declared him as one of the ten best talk show interviews of all time.
Stern than mentioned that one of his favorites is Steve Martin. When the shock jock told him that, Martin said, “It is a lot of work, and you don’t get paid for it. I am gotta go get a job where I get paid for it.”
Then both guys agreed that Martin’s friend Martin Short is also the greatest. After that they just went down the list with Wanda Sykes, Will Arnet, Jason Bateman, Norm MacDonald, Dave Chappell, and Bryan Cranston.
Quite an impressive list. Of course, they left out a few like Betty White, Blake Shelton, Henry Winkler, Terry Bradhsaw, Will Forte, Matthew Perry, and Josh Groban.
Who are some of your favorite people to watch on talk shows?
Finally, Jimmy Kimmel will return to the studio on September 21st. His first guest is…Charles Barkley. That puts a lot of pressure on the NBA legend to top himself. Will he score another slam dunk?
