Now and then I look through old posts and delete some that are crap or archive some that are no longer relevant. I came across a series of three posts from 2015 about Sweet Cheeks. At that time I called him Willy Dunne Wooters [WDW]. They amused me, although I don't recall writing them. I didn't know who Jimmy Kimmel was then! I hope you enjoy them.
Dear Hearts and Gentle People,
This post will tell you the beginning of the story about my desire to murder Willy Dunne Wooters. I don't have time to tell you the entire story now.
Saturday evening I was looking at something online. WDW asked, Did you see that skit Jimmy Kimmel did about a Saved By The Bell Reunion?
I felt confused. Jimmy Kimmel?
I know someone did that skit, I said, because I saw it mentioned online, but I don't know who Jimmy Kimmel is.
He's one of those late-night talk show hosts.
I thought for a while, and then it hit me: JIMMY FALLON! I THINK YOU MEAN JIMMY FALLON!
Well, okay, said WDW, but then who is Jimmy Kimmel?
I don't know, but we'll find out right now, I assured him as I tapped away on my laptop.
Within seconds I said, Here's Jimmy Kimmel:
Jimmy Kimmel hosts a late-night talk show on ABC, I explained.
Then who is Jimmy Fallon? was the next, inevitable question.
I'm pretty sure he took over The Tonight Show when Jay Leno left, I said. He used to be on SNL. Sometimes I see clips from his show. They're really funny. I never saw Saved By The Bell, so it doesn't mean anything to me, but I saw that the skit was online. I didn't bother to watch it.
WDW said: Jimmy Kimmel. Jimmy Fallon. Are you sure there are two Jimmies?
I tapped a little more and said, Here's Jimmy Fallon:
So that's Jimmy Fallon, WDW said.
He used to be on SNL, WDW said.
And now he's on the Tonight show, WDW said.
Yes, I said.
WDW said, Do you mean to tell me there are two guys named Jimmy and they both have dark hair and they both host late-night TV shows? They even look a lot alike.
The truth is I didn't see that much of a resemblance other than dark hair (it's kind of like saying everyone of the same race looks alike), but I know better than to argue so I said, Yes, there are two guys named Jimmy and they both have dark hair and they both host late night TV show and they look a lot alike.
I put that
WDW said, Do you mean to tell me there really are two guys with dark hair named Jimmy who host late-night TV shows?
I showed him their photos again, and I said again, I've never seen Jimmy Kimmel, but I think Jimmy Fallon is funny.
Okay, that's all for now, but you can see where this is headed, right? It's headed toward a straitjacket for me.
Infinities of love,
Janie Junebug
to be continued
I loathe Fallon but have enjoyed Kimmel.
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with a straitjacket, or so THEY tell me.

Are THEY the little voices that talk to you that no one else knows about?
DeleteBoy you're better than I, at that point I think I would have had one of my Dorothy's Zobonak outbursts saying- "Yes.... they're both named Jimmy they both have late night talk shows they both have brown hair. What part of this do you not understand? Now I told you and I showed you who they are ...just don't ever bring up the case of the Jimmy's again!
ReplyDeleteI raised two kids who asked questions non-stop. I also have to answer a lot of idiotic questions at my job. If I let it bother me, I'd have non-stop outbursts.
DeleteI don't think they look alike either! I watch The Tonight Show frequently and enjoy it. I knew Jimmy Kimmel has a show as well, and I was shocked it got pulled last week. I tuned in to watch his return monologue, which was excellent.
ReplyDeleteI watched Kimmel's return monologue and also thought it was excellent.
DeleteSeriously? Two guys with dark hair named Jimmy who host late-night TV shows? Unbelievable. Anyway, I’m not a fan of Jimmy Fallon. I am of Jimmy Kimmel. Not just funny, but smart.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I ever watched the entire Tonight Show with Fallon--only saw clips of songs or little bits I enjoyed. I've never watched Kimmel's show either, but I like to catch clips of his monologue and I enjoyed it when he hosted the Academy Awards. His put downs of the felon are smart and clever.
DeleteI never watch any of the late night shows, and I am even awake then. There are too many other options with all the streaming services available
ReplyDeleteI don't watch them either. I wanted to see Kimmel's monologue when he returned so I watched it on YouTube after the fact.
DeleteLong ago--lol! How time flies.
ReplyDeleteI prefer either Stephen Colbert or Seth Meyers, but I do watch some Kimmel. Definitely watch the return monologue! :)
I watched the return monologue on YouTube. It was outstanding. Kimmel's sincerity was moving, and the part with DeNiro was very funny.
