It's been said by more than one of Dave's colleagues at *NBC* that it was his failure to maintain a cordial and cohesive relationship with the very people who were choosing Carson's replacement that cost him "The Tonight Show." That's on Dave.
Leno kind of punked Kimmel. Leno was in talks to go to 11:30pm on ABC and Kimmel was prepared to move his show to 12:30pm but Leno never called back, lol. Leno on ABC would have been amazing for Kimmel's career but he seems to have done well regardless.
@@browsertab Jay should've called to tell Kimmel the deal had fallen thorough. That just would've been good manners (like Conan should've consulted Jay before signing that *NBC* deal that was deciding his retirement date). Still, if that's the worst thing Kimmel personally has on Jay Leno, then yes, (just as you said) he seems to have done well regardless. I don't think Jay's faux pas ruined Kimmel's life.

It's quite telling how so many of the late-night talk show hosts dislike Jay Leno. Means that even aside from the Conan debacle, he must be a pretty unpleasant man.
I’ve been a fan of Jimmy Kimmel since Win Ben Stein‘s Money. Jimmy was the reason I watched that show. I tolerated Ben Stein. When Jimmy left to do The Man show, which, of course, I also watched, I tried watching it with other people, I think Jimmy’s cousin Sal may have even been given a shot for a few episodes, But the others? Lame. I knew Jimmy was destined for bigger and better things. Just as I knew the same for David Letterman, when I got up early to watch his morning show with Rich Hall and Edie McClurg.
The influence of Letterman is so apparent in guys like Kimmel and Conan that carried the torch - I know comics and even Letterman himself acknowledge Leno as an all time comedian, but his influence is so much harder to find in good comedy
Just as Carson saw Letterman as his heir to the late night throne, I think Letterman sees Kimmel in the same light. It's not overt of course, but it's evident.
@@aniruddh3258 How many times did Letterman appear on any of his shows? I believe the answer is once - in 1994, when O'Brien was staring cancellation right in the eye. By contrast he's been on Kimmel numerous times. Again, not overt, but evident.
@@mactheknife7049 Dave appeared many times on LNwCOB especially when Conan's main competitor at that time on 12:30 AM timeslot was Tom Snyder's TLLSwTS.
@@aniruddh3258 Not even close. Heir? He could not have care less about anything concerning an heir. I guarantee that. He showed up to Conan’s Late Night show because it was struggling and well, he created the show. He has showed up to Mayer’s Late Night as well because well, he created the show. Jimmy Kimmel’s show is the only one he does without an obligation. It’s going to be 8 years in May since he retired and he has yet to go on Colbert’s Late Show.
Can I ask you why? Are you on the right of the political spectrum? Have you just *heard* a bunch of stuff about Kimmel? I'm just confused why you'd watch something, and expect to not like it? Just click on a video to hit the dislike button and then rinse and repeat?
I've never been a violent person and I'm not looking to become one either, although that doesn't mean that I can't take care of business if and when I have to defend myself. Having said that, if there's one person I'd like to have more than a few words with to rearrange certain parts of his anatomy, it would probably be this Kimmel dude. Colbert and Noah would duke it out for 2nd and 3rd place on my list.
he's a better, funnier guest than most comedians. Goes without saying he's 1,223,498 times funnier and glib-ber than whatsisname on the Tonight Show. What's his name? I got a block. Pain and boredom will do that in your memory. Oy. Pain.
ain't no words to express how MUCH I appreciate y'all cutting the entrances with the ANNOYING A** audience screaming like animals like ironically on Kimmel's which is by far the most insufferable like seriously can't they at least turn it down?? finally a late night channel for grownups, every single talk show channel could and should learn from this one fr
Actually Dave set the stage for Kimmel's lame 'political' humor. In the old days he'd take a swing at both Clinton and Bush then throw TVs off the roof. But in his later years he became a standard, vacuous Hollywood lefty. "Woke up" and had climate change pundits on in place of stupid pet tricks. And was always bitter toward Leno for taking the Tonight Show from him (in his mind.)
6:42 Dave sounds like the guy at the high school reunion fondly reminiscing how fun it was when everyone used to give each other swirlies and stuff each other into lockers when he was actually the only one that did it to others.
wow Kimmel was pretty funny here. and for a whole 11 minutes and 25 seconds he didnt mention Donald Trump one time! i dont think ive ever seen him do that before!
