JIMMY KIMMEL'S GOT BIG PLANS




i know he's got plans


he told me when i saw him on tv


i know you didn't see it


it was on shatner's raw nerve - ever seen that show...


- i thought not... (it's on the biography channel)


i woulda never known jimmy's plans if it wasn't for raw nerve


bill shatner - ya know captain kirk... sits on a couch


directly across from his guests - and gets right in their face


-right in their face on an S shaped couch he designed for the show


and asks them thee most personal stuff you can imagine


bill has this way, a way to get the real intimate details


the good stuff about his guest's private lives


he talks to them - not about their show / movie / career


he talks to them about death / disease / divorce


it's cool


the lighting, the set decoration, the graphics, the music


it's critically acclaimed and edgy and off-beat


it's cool, i like it


the camera angles are the best


the captain pokes and probes until he hits the raw nerve





oh


jimmy's big plans?


well, don't plan on going anywhere soon, jimmy


during this past november sweeps


jimmy kimmel live just posted it's most watched week - ever


he's regularly beating fallon and ferguson


and late night's most popular show* - nightline is his lead-in


so - there's still some work to do at abc, jim


what did he say he's gonna do?






- he's gonna retire someday


and sculpt
