Anyone know if Jimmy Kimmel might move to 11:30 when Ted Koppel leaves?
The only article I read had gave somewhat of a leaning that they'd replace Nightline with another news show or get another newsguy to continue Nightline.

Cause it had some ABC representative saying something about them leaving a show that will keep Nighline fans happy, or something like that.

But I'd really love to see Jimmy move to 11:30. Might sound unlikely, but I honestly think that it could lead to Leno falling out of the number 1 spot. Not necesarily with Jimmy being number 1 or even 2, but I really think the Letterman/Kimmel combo alternative to Jay would just highlight his lameness to a further degree.

The overwhelming number of people just assume Kimmel sucks or is unfunny, and they probably haven't even given it a chance. His opening clip show is actually hilarious. Only the Daily Show is as consistant at making me laugh as hard on a nightly basis (when I'm up that late).

1. Kimmel's a sexist pig...........
other than that, he's funny, but no one to challenge Leno (who I can't stand) or Letterman.

4. How?
He probably made an honest statement one time and that's not aloud.

2. Kimmel could split the vote, as it were
and give Letterman the number 1 spot!

3. I agree with people who say he's a sexist pig-
and LMAO every time I watch him. Oh well. We can't all be consistant.

5. How is he sexist?
These blanket statements are surely supported by mounds of evidence.

6. oh I don't have any specific examples close at hand
I suppose the entirety of his late series, "The Man Show" might begin the 'mounds of evidence' you so crave.
