    He wasn't even good as Ben's YES MAN.

    I do not think he is very talented. I agree with Drummond's comment that he was relatively funny on Win Ben Stein's Money, but he definetely should not have his own show. He doesn't make me laugh. He seems nervous and not naturally that funny to me. I really don't see how he hasn't been cancelled. That actually scares me that there's people that find his show hilarious. I guess that's the product of the dumbing down of Americans. Conan is a quality show. He kicks Jimmy's unfunny, flabby butt

    Jimmy Kimmel is hillarious and his humor isn't tasteless or tacky, let alone boring or extreme. This is a man that can tell a joke, with a punchline that actually makes sense. He doesn't have to attack people or use ad hominem to be heard nor does he have to be unoriginal. He doesn't care who laughs at his jokes or is amused. I like his show because he brings his humor in a great way, without destroying or overpowering his persona. It is quite obvious he is funny, but he is also a down-to-earth individual who knows he has a purpose, that is extremely important in today's late night talk show world.

    He's a poor man's version of myself. Get some good comedy routines junior! And lose those puppets!

    I liked him more as the sidekick on Ben Stein's money. He's rather a one trick pony.

    He's a different take on late night and a little more cutting edge. His bit in the begining, you can't really call it a monologe, is usually funny. His interviewing skills could use some work but he usually asks questions that most people would ask in the situation.

    Pretty Bad. I only watch it if Letterman and Leno are both repeats. The man show was hilarious, but Kimmel just can't cut it on his own.

    His show is awful. They drink too much, and too crude. (Secretly he might want to be Howard; but nobody can be Howard, but Howard.)

    Jimmy sold out once he let ABC screw up his show. It's not live and now it is just like every other sucky talk show. He needs to go back to when he first started that's why people watched to see what him or his guests would do. His girlfriend sucks and I don't know what he sees in her, she is in no way funny and I am glad she doesn't constantly come on anymore. Jimmy needs to get it together and make his shows live like they are supposed to be. And the Cleotone's PLEASE that is sooooo gay.

    Horrible. Not funny. Looks like he is stoned most of the time. The K-Mart of late night television.

    Would love to see Kimmel off the air. Does ABC not care about what is on that late? Kimmel strikes me as someone who was given a talkshow because of who he knew,who he was related to. His jokes about the California flood on 1/10/2005 victims were in poor taste but his lack of talent was already apparent.

    Jimmy Kimmel has gotten better with his show. I liked that he got rid of that former intro to his show--it looked too new-show amateurish. The new intro gets him into the late night life more! He still tends to be hesitant, as if he doesn't want anyone to mess with his show set. He might need to get rid of some of those sidekicks, especially that silly uncle of his who's already creating havoc. I like his musical guests who bring more of a party attitude to the show versus the conservative natures of Leno and Letterman. I commend ABC for sticking with this show because Jimmy will get better with time.

    I thoroughly enjoy Kimmel. He seems to do a great job interviewing guests. I think, but I'm not completely sure, that he is a conservative. But that doesn't matter to me because he really does a good job, is not combative, exudes a positive attitude and he can actually be funny. I think he will continue to get better with experience.

    Was not even funny on The Man Show or in his NFL correspondent role on Fox Sports, so how he got where he is remains one of the great mysteries.

    with just a few rough edges that need to be smoothed out. the show provides a great outlet of humor for those of us that see so much on t.v. that just seems so ridiculous. people who don't understand that type of humor are usually the same people who watch oprah, the view ,and dedicated watchers of the bachelor and will never understand it.

    A man's man - breaking the rules of late night TV and will make you laugh every night. He IS the new wave of talk show hosts.

    Unfunny as news from Iraq. How the hell he got a talk show remains one of the biggest questions of the 21st Century. His frat-boy mentality is dull and uncreative. They got rid of Bill Maher for THIS? No wonder ABC is the lickspittle of the other networks.

    He's nothing without Adam Corolla. Has a few moments every now and again where he's really funny...Too bad it's not televised...I am a fan, but I think it's hard to be cutting edge on ABC.
