Schitt’s Creek swept the Emmys on Sunday night, and television anchors all over the country wanted to tell their viewers about it. There is only one problem. The C in Schitt’s is silent, and they are not allowed to say the word it sounds like without getting in a lot of trouble.
So how are they going to do it? Jimmy Kimmel Live compiled their best efforts, and it is as funny as the Emmy-winning sitcom. And just like the show, they saved the best for last with a nice little zinger that ties it all up.
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?
The Emmys sent out a letter to the nominees telling them that this year’s event will be virtual according to Variety. As if anyone thought the Emmys were going to go on as is like they have in the past during the coronavirus pandemic.
Anyways, in the letter, they tell them they are going to bring the cameras to them on September 20th. They can dress up to the nines, or they can wear PJs. They can go live from their house or somewhere else. They don’t have to worry about looking good because they will handle that too. All they have to do is prepare to go live when it comes time for them to accept their award.
That makes me wonder if they are going to do that for all of the nominees or just the winners? I think it sucks to be the latter. Imagine you are waiting for the call that they are going to set up at your location, and they never show. At least, they will know they lost ahead of time, unlike Jimmy Kimmel who still has to host even though he will lose again. Awkward.
Seriously, I really feel bad for the losers who don’t get the 5-star treatment. When it comes to the ones, who will get the treatment and lose, at lease they can shut the feed off and drown their sorrows in wine and ice cream immediately. They don’t have to sit there in their clothes that are too tight and cry on the inside. They can cry in their homes with their loved ones. Unless they don’t have anyone else like Jennifer Aniston and have to cry all by themselves. Now, I am actually sad for her. Over it.
Just like I am over this year’s Emmys that completely ignored Amazon’s Hunters and NBC’s Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist.

When Hollywood got hit by COVID-19, production shut down. That meant that all of the talk shows went dark. It didn’t stay that way for too long because Conan O’Brien was the first one to announce he would be doing new episodes from his home.
That was three months ago, and I think that his family has had enough of him being with them 24/7. That is because today, he revealed that starting on Monday, he will be doing his TBS show from Largo at the Coronet in Hollywood instead of from whatever room his family banished him to.
The new location is perfectly safe. The guests, as well, as the audience, will still be at their homes. In fact, just a few of his staff members will be joining him in the makeshift studio, while the rest will be working from their home offices.
The theater is a place he has known for almost 35 years. As O’Brien explained, “I got started doing improv at the Coronet in 1986 and I’m glad we’ve figured out a way to safely keep that theater going during this lockdown.” And for his family, it is a much-needed break from him.
Talking about breaks, Jimmy Kimmel is taking the summer. Now, we know who will be the first people who will be filling in for him while he has gone fishing. On Monday and Tuesday, Anthony Anderson will be hosting the show. Then on Wednesday and Thursday, Billy Eichner will be sitting in the big chair. Which is his own since Kimmel has been doing his ABC show from his house, and his wife has been doing Matt Damon from there too. Can you blame her?
UPDATE: Conan O’Brien confirmed what I suspected. He posted the below photo and wrote, “I am thrilled I’m moving my show to @largolosangeles next week. My family is more thrilled.” -Conan
Jimmy Kimmel announced on his show tonight that he will be taking the summer off from his late night talk show. He says that he just wants to take a break to be with his family, and everything is fine with and between them.
However, I am not so sure that can be said anymore. That is because his wife, Molly McNearney., was seen coming out of the room that Matt Damon has secretly been staying in. I guess the women in his life can’t help but to f*ck Matt Damon. Do you blame them?
Back to Jimmy Kimmel Live, while the talk show’s namesake is on vacation, several people will be filling in for him. Please let Matt Damon be the first one!
