Jimmy Kimmel Impersonates Jay Leno
By Krystal Clark
Last night on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” the host continued to capitalize on the ongoing late night war between Jay Leno, Conan O’Brien, and NBC. Kimmel appeared on the show not as himself, but as a Leno sporting a gray wig, prosthetic chin, and an annoying lisp. The comedic bit is just one of many the host and others will continue to put on while NBC is in the sh*thole. So, without further ado, here’s Jay…
The show starts off in true Leno fashion with the announcement of his stage entrance, and the host going over and slapping hands with everyone in sight. His band, the audience, and anyone else who is in arms reach. After that it’s hard to look at the guy and not see an eerie resemblance to Bill Clinton as well, but that’s another subject. Kimmel goes on to introduce himself as Leno and states that he’s taking over all the shows in late night. He even went as far to say that ABC stands for “Always Bump Conan.” It was a low blow, but for a comedian this entire fiasco has too much good material to pass up.

Leno is the worst comic on late night and has been for a long time. Kimmel brilliantly displayed why here. Are you 65, by chance? Because that's the majority of Leno's audience.

I have never watched Jimmy Kimmel, but I don't think he went too far. Nobody can top Leno-Letterman lost what little(very little) he once had, and Conan has never, ever had "IT". I cannot imagine another network even thinking of having Conan – I hear he's a super nice guy to work with, but his style of "comedy" is awful. There has to be some new talent lurking out there somewhere-please find them!!
