I saw your friend Adam Carolla do a show in Durham, NC and he told a story about your house, a football game, and Tom Cruise.

except for the cupcakes, it happened.
Can you please acknowledge my existence?

always

Recently you popularity has gone up, and "people on the internet" seem to like you more than they did 5 years ago. Do you think this change has come from you changing your style or just people warming up to you?
You'd probably know better than me. I hope you're right, I really don't know
Hi, Jimmy. Will you hire me to be your sidekick, I will get you coffee and be snarky to everyone else that isn't you.
probably, yes
What's your favorite non-show biz/not TV related moment with Carolla? Meaning, your favorite story about you two just hanging out as friends outside of the Man Show and your other various entertainment ventures together. Love your work, btw.

absolutely not. enough already
Why do you apologize to Matt Damon about running out of time at the end of every show? I never fully understood that.

Paper or Plastic?
I prefer paper, but always feel too guilty to ask for it
What was your favorite bit to do on The Man Show?
the Q&A segment with Adam at the end of the show
What is it like meeting these super famous people. Do you ever get star struck? If you do, who was the last person you were starstruck by?

If you are a hotdog, would you eat yourself?
all men would
Jimmy, you should host the ESPY's with Lebron again! You guys were an awesome tandem.
apparently I am too edgy for the ESPYs. They edited about half of my monologue out of the broadcast
what do you do when there's a really boring guest on the show? I remember james franco, all he did was talk about hi acting classes or something, couldnt even crack a joke.
I laugh nervously at everything they say
What is the biggest thing you hate about Matt Damon?
his stupid face
When you were younger did you ever imagine your life being how it is right now?
I often ask myself that question. Suffice it to say, I did not.
I was a huge fan of Uncle Frank and it was very sad to see him pass. Your tribute to him was very touching. Could you tell us a story about him that has never been told before? Be it funny or sad or anything! You're awesome Jimmy!
thank you - yesterday was the six month anniversary of his death. We still miss him terribly. almost everything he did was funny.
You gave Howard Stern a portrait of him and Beth that he only hangs in his home when you come to visit. How much does this hurt your feelings?
I'm sorry they don't like it, but stand by the fact that it is a fine piece of art. I do appreciate the fact that Howard waited until we were on TV to tell me he didn't like it. That is why I love him
Name a historical figure who you would love to have a beer with
Kurt Vonnegut (does he count as historical yet?)
How are you? I feel like no one asks that of anyone. Also, can you sign my ass?
fine and sure
How do you get to work?
I drive.

she talked to my parents (who just "happened" to be sitting outside her dressing room) for 45 minutes after the show. That is a kindness I won't forget
Hey, I heard you were a Sun Devil for a while. What was your favorite story about Arizona State!
There was a guitar player who led sing-alongs at a bar called The Wherehouse. We'd drink pitchers of beer and sing along, then end each night at the Amigo Room at Denny's

I just want to ask you this:
What do you know about Morocco?
what DON'T I know about Morocco?
Have you ever had a guest on your show that you've absolutely hated interviewing?
definitely.
Does anyone else find it disturbing that more and more celebs are whoring themselves out on Reddit for attention? Why is it ok for them to drop in out of NOWHERE and beg us for attention with a sad IAMA? I am reminded of the Woody Harrelson fiasco and I shudder in disgust. Jimmy Kimmel are you plugging a movie you are in or something or just shamelessly trying to grasp for ratings by luring defenseless redditors into your proverbial van I.e. your show.
I'm not asking anyone for anything. I had fun doing this last time, so when I asked, I agreed to do it again. That's all.
Selfish question. I swear I saw you at an airport in Naples Italy in June 2004. Could it be true?
Yes!
If someone with no background wants to get into hosting or other TV spots in LA, what advice would you give them starting out about the proper way to cusp and stroke?
there are a lot of ways to go. I think the best way now is to make web videos. If they're really good, someone will notice you eventually
Were the Bill "The Fox" Foster's abilities exaggerated on the show or was he really that much of a beast?
he was amazing - there is a video we made online called "The Legend of the Fox" - look for it
Jimmy!!!! I went to Kenny Guinn in Vegas as well!!! I wanted to know where in Vegas you lived when you were there. I lived near Fort Apache and Desert Inn. Sorry if you can't remember since you're old now
and to all those wondering, yes Jimmy is a legend there now (not so much when I was there during Man Show days hahaha)
I lived right down the street from Guinn
Have you ever seen a monkey IN PERSON? If so, how was it?
I have seen many monkeys and am never disappointed
Me and my wife are expecting a baby. We don't know if its a boy or girl, but will you name it? :D
my brother had a baby this morning and considered naming her "Jaundice"
I've a sharp and throbbing pain just below my left knee (no arrow jokes intended). Why no one believed me that the pain came out of nowhere?
because you complain too much and, quite frankly, we're all getting tired of your bullshit
[deleted]
this made me laugh

Who makes a better pizza, you or Chris Bianco?
no man makes a better pizza than Chris Bianco
Do you ever watch your own Jimmy Kimmel Live episodes after you tape them? I always picture tv show hosts going to a film room with their producers/writers afterwards to break down the film similar to how football teams do, with laser pointers and slow motion shots at different camera angles.
almost never
Jimmy-Your tribute to Uncle Frank was one of the saddest yet heartwarming things ever broadcasted on television. What was your favorite moment with him?
I loved to watch him argue with my Aunt Chippy. I have hours of videotape of them fighting. Every Easter, I would instigate something
Is is crazy that I want to go on a date with Octomom?
yes. it is
You were on Marc Maron' WTF not too long ago. How was your experience?
it was a great conversation.
Saw you mention Crank Yankers being the funnest show you did. I'm of the opinion that DAG's Truth call to the sports store is the funniest bit to come off there. What's your favorite?
probably Spoonie Luv's call to the florist
I just want you to know that when I was in labor and giving birth I requested to watch your show in the delivery room. It was 8 years ago, Snoop was on, and it was a lovely distraction. So thank you!
wow! very cool
Is Dicky Barrett the coolest guy in the world?
coolest white guy
Today, I watched the episode of Entourage that you were in. You approach Vince Chase at a party and ask him to be on the show. Have things like this happened in reality? Where you walk up to someone you want to be on the show and ask them to be on?
never
So I have to ask... Is your middle name actually Batman?
it is, yes
Can you please acknowledge my existence? (Me Too)
done
Fuck you Jimmy Kimmel.
Thats all.
awww....
Would you rather:
A) Be forced to do your show 24/7 for the rest of your life
or
B) Be attacked by Gary Busey once, for 15 minutes
B
First of all, prove you are Jimmy Kimmel.. Secondly, on your TV programmes Youtube channel, why do you split the videos so short? Is it to make 3 times the money off of the same content? Just wondering as youtube would allow you to upload the entire show with no splitting needed.
Thanks.
because of union rules, the videos can't go over 5 minutes
No questions Jimmy, just love your work! :)_
thanks Peekaboodles
Have you ever been to Handy Market in Burbank on Saturdays, and tried their Tri-Tip sandwiches? I know Leno goes there...
I have indeed. Many times
Last time you did an AMA, somebody asked you what your favorite obscure movie quote was. You responded, "Let's go to a motel. We don't have to do anything - we could just swim."
For the love of all that is holy, WHAT MOVIE IS THIS FROM????
The One and Only
Hey fuck-wad, love your show. What's up with Carolla these days?
Your tapings are really fun. Just thought I'd toss that out there.
I know the whole actual-bar-in-the-concert-area thing only lasted for about five minutes. Talk about the reasoning behind even keeping the bar from the old El Capitan.
we built that bar ourselves.
Your set at the Roast of Flavor Flav was the funniest I've seen, any chance you'll do another?
probably sometime - if the roastee is someone I know very well. The roasts have become a bit too random for me
Was the Handsome Men's Club filmed if different parts as the actors became available, or were they all on set together?
it was shot in many different pieces. we have a good one set for our post-Oscar show this Sunday too
What do you think of Rampart?
I get it...I get it
Do you and Terry Bradshaw really hate each other?
I love Terry. He is one of the craziest employed people I've ever met
How do I know you are the real Jimmy?
how do any of us know anything....
Dave Dameshek. Yay or Nay?
yay
Hi Jimmy, huge fan. Do you still hang out with Andy Milonakis? You guys going to do anything together again?
Andy lives in my attic.
Hey Jimmy, I'm a long time fan (I even named my pet walrus after you), I had a quick question: What's it like bringing shame to comedy central by being the most unfunny turd anyone has ever seen on TV and filling my already forlorn and lonely nights with even more sadness?
it's surprisingly satisfying!
I noticed when you have a guest who is kind of nervous or shy, you handle it a lot better than any of the other late night talk show hosts. Do you feel for them or do you just think it's kind of funny?
I feel for them. It is nerve-wracking to do a talk show. You have 7 minutes to be funny. Sometimes it feels like speed dating
Is cousin Sal really your cousin?
he is. His father and my mother are brother and sister
why are you always squinting? are you still close with adam?
I don't know why I squint. I can't help it. And yes, I am
Ive heard you love pizza. I also love pizza. However, i am poor :( Whats your recommendation on a cheap, yet delicious pizza?
steer clear of the chains, find a good local place, and reward them with your loyalty
For someone who talks for a living you're answers are pretty short and boring.
EDIT: I'm an asshole and can't spell. Hooray!
I'm
Let me start by saying I grew up on The Man Show and was devastated when you and Adam Carolla were replaced by those two ass-clowns. My question is how much of the writing process do you take part in these days? I'd imagine it's pretty hard to dedicate time to coming up with comedic gold if you have to constantly please Ben Affleck.
I am very involved in every word of every script
what was your last purchase from Costco?
I was there on Saturday, primarily to buy wine
Why does your skin color vary from orange face to white hands? That seems like something you would make fun of snookie for or something. Either way you're my favorite show these days :)
because I prefer not to wear makeup on my hands.
Have you seen Woody Harrelson's new movie Rampage?
poor Woody....maybe next time I'll have him do this with me
Have you ever been censored by trying to "be too real"? in the sense that you wanted to tell the American public something that you know, being a very iconic person who knows a lot of 'behind the scenes stuff' as far as what the average working american would know, but was told by the network that it would be too much for them to handle. Okay, conspiracy theorist statement to the max, but here is where my question stems from: I have a tucked away dream that if I were ever to become the president, I would learn everything that's right with American, and everything that's wrong with america, and shut myself in the oval office with a Camera that broadcasts to the entire nation and tell them whatsup on the for real real. I guess I'm just wondering If you've ever been censored for trying to be too real with your audience?
I say what I want to say. As long as I don't curse, ABC is OK with it
Personal pizza chef? Explain. We're you raised on our good NY pizza, and then desired something better than the bullshit they have in LA?
Also, why not show Howard around the party? That way he won't go on air and talk about how he didn't recognize anyone.
that was a joke made by Howard about my friend Chris Bianco. I am my own personal pizza chef. I am from Brooklyn and have been a pizza snob since I was a little kid
why are you funnier on the internet than you are on television?
because when I'm on TV, I know that Jesus is watching.
