Jimmel Kimmel to going against Leno & Letterman next year

Jimmy Kimmel will jump to the big stage in late-night television in January, moving to 11:35 p.m., where he will take on the two titans of that time slot, David Letterman and Jay Leno.

ABC announced the move Tuesday, framing it as a bold effort to seize leadership in late-night entertainment.

ABC has touted its leadership in ratings over both Mr. Letterman on CBS and Mr. Leno on NBC’s Tonight” show, but that has been with the news program “Nightline.” ABC’s management has for years tried to replace that program with an entertainment show because of the possibility to increase revenue in the time period.

I'm one of the few people I know that does watch the late night shows on occasion, but I absolutely love Kimmel's show. Anyone else watch?

Late night is boring. They make the same jokes over and over about the same boring news stories. If you go online you'll find funnier comments on the news just by reading and posting on forums.

surfing the internet > watching television.

not really. Kimmel and Fallon are pretty well in touch with today's generation.

    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.  
    • Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
    • Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
