Just a quick mention on Jimmy Kimmel doing his annual monologue at the ABC upfronts. THR.com’s Live Feed has a transcript of the late night host’s most recent standup. Some of the more notable quips:
- “I
read in The Times this morning that Jeff Zucker is building a 40-ton
solid-cement containment dome that he hopes to lower down over the fall
schedule. Poor NBC, they can’t win.”
- But
there are some very big things going on at NBC. They canceled ‘Law
& Order’ and picked up ‘Law & Order: Los Angeles.’ You know,
the last time NBC took a show that had been on for 20 years in New York
and moved it to LA it wound up as the lead-in to George Lopez on TBS.
- Fox
made a weird announcement yesterday. The coveted post-Super Bowl slot
next year is going to ‘Glee.’ Apparently they’re trying to set a new
Guinness World Record for most drunk 43-year-old guys saying, “What the
fuck is this?” all at once.
- My
favorite ‘Undercover Boss’ episode was when the president of
Hooters pretended he didn’t know that Hooters waitresses get sexually
harassed. if he doesn’t win an Emmy for that, that is…
- I
love ‘Lost’ and I’m going to miss it. Watching ‘Lost’ is what I imagine
it must be like to be trapped inside the brain of Paula Abdul.
