We Are Proud to be on the Kimmel Team!
“The most audacious and outrageously funny late-night take on the [NBC] situation yet belongs to Jimmy Kimmel."
"Jimmy Kimmel has developed himself a damn funny show over there at ABC.”
-- James Poniewozik, Time Magazine’s Tuned-In Blog, January 13, 2009
“Jimmy Kimmel won the evening for doing his entire show as Jay Leno (down to the speech impediment) and giving guest Chevy Chase a Conan pompadour.”
-- Dan Duray, New York Magazine’s Vulture Blog, January 13, 2010
“Of the many NBC-Leno-Conan jokes that have been flying around late night in the past week, Kimmel's was the most ... interesting and original.”
-- Matthew Gilbert, Boston Globe, January 13, 2010
“People want to cheer Seabiscuit. Kimmel, with stunning directness, reminded Leno, and his audience, that he is in fact War Admiral.”
-- James Poniewozik, Time Magazine’s Tuned-In Blog, January 15, 2009
“But I think after this double-whammy on Jay, Kimmel's going to be impossible to ignore.”
-- The Star-Ledger, Alan Sepinwall, January 15, 2010
“Though Jay was obviously serving up softballs ripe for put-downs, kudos to Jimmy for knocking every single one of them out of the park. That's honors-level work, Mr. Kimmel.”
-- MTV.com, Eric Ditzian, January 15, 2010
“But of all the late-night spoofs, jokes, skits, slams, etc., Jimmy Kimmel deserves an Emmy for pulling off this dead-on Leno imitation not just for the hilarious monologue (the band’s musical response punchlines, Cleto as Kevin Eubanks - priceless), but through the entire show.”
-- Melissa Ruggieri, Richmond Post Dispatch, January 13, 2010
“The bloodbath shows no signs of abating -- and the breakout supporting star in the Leno-Conan war is shaping up to be Jimmy Kimmel… This is the late-night equivalent of wearing a Yankees t-shirt in Fenway Park -- a feat of insane heroism.”
-- Mary Elizabeth Williams, Salon.com, January 15, 2009
“Jimmy Kimmel took the concept to new visual heights by walking out as Jay Leno. It’s a mostly accurate parody, but all three fake Leno monologue jokes are slightly too good, and it’s missing at least seven Lewinsky references.”
-- Best Week Ever, Dan Hopper, January 13, 2010
“I always liked Jimmy Kimmel but I have a new respect for the man after watching him go toe to toe with Leno on his own turf.”
-- Screen Crave, Krystal Clark, January 15, 2010
Our Guy In Late Night
“If there’s anyone who previously doubted that Mr. Kimmel possesses a rapier wit and is unafraid to wield it, all we can say is, Toldja!”
-- DAVE ITZKOFF, New York Times Arts Beat, January 15, 2009
“Jimmy Kimmel has developed himself a damn funny show over there at ABC.”
-- James Poniewozik, Time Magazine’s Tuned-In Blog, January 13, 2009
“We've got to applaud Jimmy Kimmel.”
-- Gina Serpe, E! Online, January 13, 2010
