Zitat des Tages von Jimmy Kimmel:
Sometimes I'll feel like an interview was fine or whatever, and people go, 'Oh, boy, I saw you with so and so last night; that must have been tough.' And then I'm like, 'I guess it was bad. I need to look back at that.'
I have like fifteen televisions in my house.
I don't eat two days a week. And people are fascinated by it, but it works. If you cut two days of food out of your life you will lose weight.
There is no way, if I was running ABC, I would have kept me on the air.
It's funny how all of this has worked out - I wasn't popular in high school, but now every drunken guy in the United States wants to be my pal. They all want to buy me a shot, and pretty soon I'm throwing up.
I like a real beach. A crowded one, you know? People, towels, umbrellas. I hate those little private strips of sand you see up in Malibu.
If I have one criticism of the other late-night shows, it's that they're almost entirely scripted.
I can't be as flip as I once was.
That's my main flaw: I always think authority figures or my boss is going to think something I do is funny. And usually they don't.
There's no debate about the greenhouse effect, just like there's no debate about gravity. If someone throws a piano off the roof, I don't care what Sarah Palin tells you, get out of the way because it's coming down on your head.
I go to Costco every weekend. It's my favorite part of the week.
Almost every week, someone's mad at me.
I'm a terrible golfer.
My definition of cursing is probably different from what other people's definitions are.
At the Emmys, you've got a bunch of people who are used to being on TV on TV. You don't have that at the Oscars. At the Oscars, you have people who are used to having 40 takes.
I try hard not to repeat myself and not to do material other people are doing. We transcribe every other late-night show to make sure there's no similarity.
I describe myself as a human being.
No matter who it is, I hate to see people losing their jobs. I really do.
I have had a lot of experience in broadcasting.
On Monday and Thursday, I eat fewer than 500 calories a day; then I eat like a pig for the other five days. You 'surprise' the body: keep it guessing. I got the idea from a BBC documentary about this Indian man who seemed about 138 years old and said his secret was severe calorie restriction.
When I was on the radio, I used to be able to go a lot farther than I can now. You don't really remember until you're on the radio again, sometimes in your old radio station and sitting with the guys you used to work with and you go, 'Oh yeah, I can't say these things anymore. I'm handcuffed.'
My aunt and uncle are clearly civilians.
No matter what Sarah Palin and these geniuses she surrounds herself with try to tell you, climate change is not a liberal versus conservative thing, but the people who profit from ignoring it want you to believe it is.
I know there are, like, 12 rules for late night: a desk, a band. Will people take me seriously if I don't wear a tie?
Real emotion is good - or doing a good job of faking real emotion.
I'm a creative consultant, whatever that means.
On Letterman and Leno, it always bothers me when they go outside the studio and it's daytime.
