I think in an encyclopedia there should be no censorship of dirty words. On the page for Jimmy Kimmel it isn't censored either.

Under the Jimmy Kimmel Live! Fifth Anniversary episode section it says Jimmy was "surprised" Which seems to imply that he knew about the video. He admitted (I think on the night he did the ben affleck video, and again on the actual 5th anniversar show) that he knew sarah had done a video, but he had no idea what it was about. So should it be mentioned, or at least take those "" out?? Tydamann (talk) 22:10, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I edited out the section that belonged in the talk page. Originally it said this:
The word pretended is POV, so I changed it to appear. Now it says this:

The set-up with Matt was very obviously a spoof/gag and it is being incorrectly reported. There are no published reports by anyone involved confirming that it was a spoof, so incorrect information continues to flood the Internet. It was definitely a set up and pre-planned, from the extraordinarily lengthy introduction to the cut to Ben Stiller in the audience looking at his watch.
Whoever wrote what is currently in the space needs to change it as its completely unneutral POV. A link to to video on youtube IS NOT A SOURCE ROFL. Until we have a proper source to confirm or deny it this section needs to be objective and consider all angles.
Hmmm yeah, we better consider all the angles on this issue. Are you serious? I've heard that there is a site documenting the stupidest arguments on Wikipedia, maybe we can get this one up. Regardless, someone has actually found a source that this was a joke. I've reworded the paragraph. 138.25.72.146 09:19, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I just read through this and the Wikipedia article claims the Damon incident was a confirmed gag and cites a reference. However, when you read through that interview, Bill Simmons says:
"I can't believe nobody made a bigger deal about it. Everyone thought it was a setup but it actually happened, Jimmy was pretty shaken afterwards."
Not sure how this is can be mistaken for a confirmation that it was a gag. 24.207.139.36 14:28, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
For God's sake, read the entire Bill Simmons chat. He later says that:
"I was kidding about the Matt Damon thing before, that was really a joke."
Can we just put it to rest? I mean, if this was not an act, wouldn't there be numerous stories about it all over the news, a la Madonna cursing on Letterman or Farrah Fawcett acting trippy on the same show? 71.12.178.85 12:45, 13 October 2006.
Wow, I though my earlier edit was also too long (138.25.72.146 was me at uni not logged in). But now we have a big chunk of text to explain one joke that wasn't all that notable. Hmmm... I guess if that's what has to be done to stop people claiming that it was a real event then it's necessary. Joaq99 15:46, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It says that the result was that the show was now longer live, but taped for review, but then how was WXYZ able to decide not to broadcast the offending episode? I believe that the offending show was taped to prevent overruns from the NBA Finals game from affecting production of the show. MMetro (talk) 19:54, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
In one episode that i watched (i don't have any references thats why i didn't add it my self) there
is some sort of charity thing or likewise where celebertis is supposed to give each other presents.
Tom Cruise gives a way a car that he had heard that Kimmel wants, kimmel gets surprised and a bit embarrassed, case he had not taken the gift thing so seriously, he had actually only bought a jar of popcorn to tom.
at first jimmy don't want to give the gift away case he wants to buy something nicer presumably.
But tom convinces him to show the gift so kimmel shows it.
Tom then looks very... Well lets say unsatisfied when he understands what the gift is first he thinks there is something else in the jar so he opens it but there is just 3 sorts of popcorn in it(not shore about the "opening the jar thing" but everything else is exactly as i remember).
This event would probably fit in to "Notable guests and events" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.100.152.146 (talk) 22:29, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I kinda think that this article is a train wreck. Locations/Special episodes should be narrowed down to 2-3 episodes or (preferably) scrapped completely, as should notable guests and events. However, some of the content should be kept as prose in a "history" section that discusses the beginnings of the show, notable episodes, the WGA strike and response, and the show's interaction with Super Bowls, Oscars and NBA Finals, and probably the sets section. Basically everything in the article after the talent section - except the Matt Damon section and the international airings - can be consolidated as such. As this is a massive undertaking, I'd like to build some sort of consensus among editors: Whose with me?--CastAStone//₵₳$↑₳₴₮ʘ№€ 05:45, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Does every single musical appearance by a band make it noteable? Rammstein's performance of their song Du Hast isn't any more notable than any other performance, unless you're the obviously huge Rammestein fan who made that addition to the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.244.18.100 (talk) 02:47, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The article is about a television show that's aired exclusively on the US broadcast network ABC. Is there a reliable source supporting citation for the numerous times we report that ABC has purportedly broadcast the term "fucking" on this show? As near as I can tell no American network has yet to broadcast this, or related terms, on taped shows. Indeed, we had, and may still have, articles on the related live incidents which have occurred.99.151.172.170 (talk) 19:41, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The number of shows needs to be changes, Shaq will also appear to challenge Jimmy on his upcoming show Shaq vs on Aug 31st.--Cooly123 20:56, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
This article was long overdue a makeover, to everyone else who contributed, we did a hell of a job. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.172.202.176 (talk) 05:11, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
There is an allusion in the introductory paragraph that the show is no longer aired "live" (except on special occasions). I seem to remember that it was originally a live show. At what time did the show cease to be a regularly aired, live show? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.199.179.200 (talk) 04:16, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The Mean Tweets segments have garnered enough media attention that there should probably be something added about them. 68.146.70.124 (talk) 01:45, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

So i changed the distributor because its name changed after disney’s acquisition of 21st Century Fox, so please don’t change it back to Disney—ABC Domestic television again, the current name of the distributor is Walt Disney Television Joey Donnie06 (talk) 00:50, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Does anyone think there should be something added about the show currently being produced from Kimmel’s home due to the Pandemic? I think it has to do with production and would be a good addition to the article. Wjrz nj forecast (talk) 21:50, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Anyone feel like this section should be deleted? Seems quite out-of-place, with not much sourcing, and comes off like a made-up controversy. StewdioMACK (talk) 13:30, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Would like to voice my opinion of your show last night on May 25th. I am so glad to know that some of the late night host do have a conscious and can shed some tears at times it was a moving episode. My concern is our problems today in our country. My mother died in 1993 but she always said that the more you talk about anyting the more children were curious and wanted to try it. All we hear about on TV now is crime and violence and badgering someone else. The government has taken prayer out of schools, God and Jesus have been the backbone of the United States of America for eons and until we put him back in a prominent place we will forever be doomed. And my friend that is the answer to our problems. 2600:100D:B10B:8335:11F4:6407:75C0:A34 (talk) 16:41, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I have repeatedly tried to insert liberal political satire in the article's introductory sentence since it is understood that his show's topics of political satire fall under the category of liberal ideals. People keep reverting my edit. I am willing to cite many sources of political topics displayed by the show that verify my claim. Vataxevader (talk) 15:06, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
