Whats the story behind Guillermo, is he 100% in character or was he actually "discovered" after being security at the shows parking garage?
I thought he was OK. I prefer Regis Philbin more.
Based on the at home episodes, I’m convinced he may live in the Keebler tree, slide and all.
I have an extra ticket to The Jimmy Kimmel show on Thursday if anyone interested. PM me. Thanks! Need to confirm today before 2 pm.
It was hard for him not to cry too, but he did manage to make us laugh. Did he also do his talk show too for today? If so, then that's amazing. He was awesome.
BPH in Mainstream Media: Jimmy Kimmel Jokes About Mitch McConnell's Supposed Prostate Enlargement
"Break for dinner is code for 'I have a prostate the size of a watermelon.'"- Jimmy Kimmel
You see often on political Twitter feeds that older senators and even the President have been called out by users for supposedly having a large prostate. Although we don't necessarily condone the "large prostate" joke because it is not in good taste to speculate about someone's health conditions, we do think this is a teachable moment for the public to know more about BPH.
BPH, short for benign prostatic hyperplasia, is a condition in older men where the prostate's size has increased from the size of a walnut to about the size of a lemon. Because of the way it's situated underneath the bladder and surrounding the urethra tube, having a large prostate may translate to frequent bathroom trips and difficulty urinating, hence Jimmy's joke. Older men commonly experience prostate growth due to age, so many older men may develop BPH.
Obviously the prostate could never get to be the size of a watermelon because even having the prostate grow to the size of an apricot or lemon can be extremely problematic in older men.
The good thing about prostate jokes is that it does bring awareness to the prostate itself and may diffuse the tension of prostate problems with lighthearted or self deprecating humor. However, the downside of prostate jokes (large prostates, doctor's prostate exam jokes, etc.) is that they could also keep men from talking about their problems for fear of being made fun of and for others making a mockery of their health situation. It could create a situation where men aren't going to the doctor for fear of the DRE (digital rectal exam).
This is why if you see or hear a prostate joke, we recommend taking that opportunity to spread useful knowledge about men's health and BPH to support older men in their journey to a better quality of life!
I attended the audience recording recording of Jimmy Kimmel Live (S18 E14) on 1/28/2020 (guests Magic Johnson, Ben Schwartz, and Charlie Wilson). My disappointment was so great that I felt compelled to write about my experience. Maybe someone will find this helpful.
The good: Show staff were punctual and actually pretty helpful when processing and moving attendees into the studio building. Attendees were offered a bathroom break and water at one point. Phones were secured in pouches that allowed each attendee to secure their own phone during the show.
The bad: We knew that we'd have to stand in line to get into the studio and that the show would be an hour and a half, but there was no mention in advance on what the procedures for bathroom breaks or water breaks would be. That may not matter to some but I dehydrate easily so it was a problem for me. We were given one break and I was feeling pretty dehydrated by the end.
Once seated we were greeted by a gentleman (Link?) who described what would be expected of us during the show. We were basically expected to become cheerleaders. It seems that giving a notice to this fact would be really helpful. And I don't mean, asked to clap. You were expected to clap, laugh, cheer, stand up at specific times, and do combinations of each. And to do it in tandom with the rest of the audience. Like singing in a quior but you don't know what song you're going to sing and the group has never sang together before.
Next we were handed to another staff member that continued to clarify the importance of cheerleading. In total, staff spent 30-60 minutes or more training the attendees on becoming cheerleaders. Training was also continued during live commercial breaks. Attendees who were not in the mood to cheer were called selfish, boosy, and stuck-up. We were pressured to cheer through the use of put downs, name-calling, warned that we would look stupid on national television, and threatened that the entire studio audience would be replaced if we didn't perform satisfactorily enough.
Once the show started, I quickly realized how much energy and focus cheerleading required. It made it nearly impossible to watch and comprehend what was happening on the stage. And we were pretty much locked in like cattle. Once the musical guest arrived I asked to leave and I was told No. So then I asked if I could get some water and I was also told No. This is after we had all been moved out of our seats and my participation was no longer needed for the show.
All in all the experience was pretty miserable. Had I known all of this I wouldn't have signed up to be in the audience. It absolutely felt like work. Work which I was not told I would have to perform until my butt was already in the seat. And we were repeatedly chastised for not performing well enough. How insulting.
I didn’t know where else to ask this. I think that was Brie Larson hosting last night? I had to look it up and that’s the conclusion I came to. I’m not trying to shame her as I’m sure it wasn’t entirely her decision to have her chest on full display but I thought her massive cleavage combined with the subject matter with Jamie Fox was uncomfortable and cheapened it. Just wanted to se if I am alone in that regard. Also Brie Larson is absolutely beautiful.
Ban me please
Some time before 2006, Justin Timberlake was a guest on Live and my bogus eBay auction for his used deodorant was shown to him by Jimmy. It used to be on YouTube, but has since disappeared. Anyone remember what I'm talking about or have that episode?
The female one.
Thanks
Dildo is a beautiful little town in my home province of Newfoundland. Recently Jimmy Kimmel has been having a lot of fun with the name. But the residents have a lot of pride in their community and it's name. Here's Jimmy. And a version of the unofficial town anthem.
Jimmy Kimmel should be fired for making fun on the earthquake victims at Ridgecrest. He is a heartless robot and only cares about something if he directly affected or it puts money in his pocket. I'm glad his show is losing sponsors.
