It's Kimmel cause Coco's snuffed

Since the red flame of Conan's hair has been recently snuffed out, I've taken to watching more Jimmy Kimmel. Conan has long been my favorite, and his recent change to The Tonight Show, along with the ease of DVR, had gotten me back into watching him.

I used to watch Jay a lot, but it was always as appetizer to the main course of Coco. Again, the revolution of DVR lets me watch what I want when I want, and I can skip the commercials. So I hadn't bothered with Jay, after checking out his new show, and finding it very blah.

I've always liked Kimmel though, ever since his days on Win Ben Stein's Money. Not to mention I have respect for him. He started from nothing, working his way onto radio, helping those who helped him along the way, and giving his all to get where he is.

That being said, as funny as I tend to find Kimmel, he's no Conan. His show is decidedly not as funny, not as light-hearted or endearing. There is a more "below the belt" feel, a little angry, a little meaner. Still decent, and incorporates all of the things that have made Kimmel successful to date.

He did just feature Demetri Martin, who I quite enjoy. I'm a big Steven Wright fan, and just recently noticed the similarities between the styles of the two.

So I'll give Kimmel another week or so. Letterman has been dead to me since he changed shows and got all old and grumpy. It'll be Kimmel instead of Jay for me, until (hopefully) Conan returns to the airwaves in a few months.
