Comedy Talk: John Leguizamo Gives Jimmy Kimmel the Hard Truth
June 15, 2008 by Chandra
M. Night Shyamalan’s latest movie, The Happening, opened in U.S. theaters on Friday, and co-star John Leguizamo made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live the same day to help promote it.
I love catching the comedian-actor when he visits talk shows because his New York and comedy roots are always on full display.
Take a look at the interview in the following video to learn about what’s going on with Leguizamo these days, including his old-school approach to fatherhood. His description of survival camp is classic.

Comedy Talk: Bill Cosby Gets Charitable with Jimmy Kimmel
Entertainment legend Bill Cosby paid a visit to Jimmy Kimmel Live on Friday, and he stuck around long enough to have a seat and chat with the host for a good eight minutes.
The occasion was the recent eBay charity auction featuring several of the instantly recognizable colorful sweaters Cosby regularly sported on his hit NBC sitcom The Cosby Show.
After Cosby and his wife Camille came across the garments in their closet one day while cleaning, their daughter Evin had the wise idea of auctioning them off to raise funds for the Hello Friend/Ennis William Cosby Foundation, a nonprofit organization named …read more

April 10, 2008 by Chandra
30 Rock star and Saturday Night Live alum Tracy Morgan dropped by Jimmy Kimmel Live at the end of March to shoot the breeze with a fellow comic while pushing his current TV show and recently released spoof flick Superhero Movie.
Enjoy the two-part interview after the jump. If you stick around for the duration, you’ll even get to watch a clip from the film, which features Morgan as Professor Xavier, a send-up of Patrick Stewart’s Professor Charles Xavier in the X-Men trilogy. (And, Morgan keeps his shirt on this time, too.)

February 3, 2008 by Chandra
If you haven’t already seen the hilarious video that brash comic Sarah Silverman presented to her boyfriend, late-night talk-show host Jimmy Kimmel, last Thursday on the occasion of his show Jimmy Kimmel Live’s fifth anniversary, please hurry up and take a look after the jump.
Many people might not realize it, but this Kimmel-Matt Damon thing started long before Silverman decided to go public with her, uh, love for the popular star in a mesmerizing video duet that is guaranteed not to go away for the rest of the year.

Comedy Talk: David + David = Two Times the Funny
October 31, 2007 by Chandra
David Spade of CBS’ Rules of Engagement is one of the most annoying little dudes ever. Still, I’ll sit tight to watch him on TV any day of the week, simply because his brand of snark is often that big a hoot. Tonight, he’s doing another famously funny David a favor by visiting the Late Show with David Letterman.
Also up on Letterman for laugh lovers: hulking 6'6" Penn Jillette and mute 5'9" (He’s that high? Shocker!) Teller of the magic-comedy duo Penn & Teller and Showtime Penn & Teller: Bullshit! fame. Betcha didn’t know that although …read more

Ugly Betty’s Rebecca Romijn was just on the Late Show with David Letterman two weeks ago, and now she’s ready to take on the host of Jimmy Kimmel Live, a man who recently earned himself a spot in the record books after traveling a head-spinning 26,620 miles between the East and West coasts last week as a result of simultaneously hosting his own show in California and filling in for Regis Philbin on Live With Regis and Kelly in New York. [Was that sentence long enough for ya? Sorry…]
