Check out Woot's deal for the day

I mean, I got this sucker for two reasons: first, I hate Apple but I wanted an iMac; and second, I wanted to be able to watch interesting and well-crafted sketch comedy using the TV tuner. Not typos in local newspapers. What is this garbage? Oh, wow, look at that: people say dumb things when you blindside them with a celebrity, a camera crew, and a lighting rig. No kidding.

This is what’s wrong with America, you know. I’m telling you honey, this guy gets kicked off The Tonight Show, gets a new gig, sucks wind there, and gets rewarded with a better time slot at the expense of a more talented comedian. Failing upwards is the new American dream. It’s not right!

Kimmel doing 'Leno' was funny as hell. Cleto (bandleader) was acting Kevin Eubanks and the band played Leno's music after every single joke. That's some clever arse stuff.

I woke up the wife laughing so hard when he came out! The link should be up on Kimmel's youtube page. It's currently not available. For anyone who didn't see it, check it out later.

He probably refused to make the show lame like Leno's Tonight Show.

I would bet serious money Triumph will be on tomorrow or the day after, and if the terrible things that Triumph is likely to say to finally get him officially canned, he'll bring out the masturbating bear as the last hurrah.

Just because Conan wasn't playing it safe and just appealing to old people?

Kimmel absolutely destroyed Leno last night. I'm only through the opening monologue, but I can't see how he tops it. The writing and execution of those monologue jokes were spot on. Very, very well done.

It's funny that this situation is really reinvigorating all of the late night talk shows.

i thought this could be a PR ploy to get conan a bump

but i think they really did cancel leno, so that can't be right
