and sometimes he does get into the “gutter” but he still is very personable with his guests. I do really like him.

I really like him a lot. He's funny, but he's not quite as "hammy" as some of the other late nite hosts, who I also like, but sometimes they overdo it.

I didn't like him all that much until he started doing his current show. Now I think he's hilarious for at least a few minutes during his show every night.

is posted here every night and rarely watch any of the guests on most of the shows unless it's someone I really wanted to see.

I think he's much funnier than Fallon and Meyers but I think he and Colbert are about even.

But I don't like it when hosts talk over their guests either.

his baby almost died from a congenital heart disease and in the hospital he realized what would happen if he had no money. Then he started pounding the republicans every night about health care.

I was recording (the horrid) local news (KVEO) and decided to make the end of the recording an extra 15 minutes, in order to catch Jimmy K. I'd hardly ever watched him before. The recording usually catches his monologue. Sometimes I skip the local news altogether and go straight to Jimmy K.

Maybe I should record the whole show, like I do with Colbert....
