Jimmy Kimmel is quite an enterprising late night host. I mean we already saw his amazing idea for Kimmel Kartoon, Jersey Shore edition. So it’s natural that he would pitch a few show ideas for Oprah’s expanding broadcasting network OWN. Unfortunately he’s a little too far “off brand” and is totally shut down by the almighty O, which makes for a whole lot of hilarity
Conveniently there were some camera crews at their meeting. My favourite pitches are the Oprah Book Club Fight Club, in which Oprah smacks down an arrogant reader who claims Boo Radley is a peripheral character. Oh no he didn’t!
He also pitches an interview show hosted by the two of them, but they’re a little too competitive. Their first interviewee, Jennifer Aniston is bewildered and can’t keep track of their many questions. I’d maybe definitely watch his “Oprah After Dark” idea when he seduces surprises Oprah in the bath. Sex sells and Jimmy certainly has it!
