AT LEAST HE'S GOT THAT HOMEWRECKER SARAH SILVERMAN'S SHOULDER TO CRY ON: How bad is Jimmy Kimmel Live? Here's what the blogosphere is reporting. First, from Jim Treacher, excerpted here but well worth reading in full:
Live broadcast and apparently no rehearsals. AWOL writers. No ideas. No guests. Millions spent on a set with an open bar that they used for one night. Bewildered studio audience. Depressed, panicky, and now openly drunken host. The whole mess locked in a death spiral, halfway through its first week.

Chevy and Magic, a nation forgives you.


But wait. There's more, from G. Beato:
[L]ast night's show was worse than public-access. In fact, I think ATM security cameras at bank branches located near college bars regularly capture footage that is more entertaining than what Jimmy Kimmel Live came up with last night.

It's time to start taking odds. Who'll be out of a job first -- Jimmy Kimmel or Saddam Hussein?

P.S. When is Jon Stewart going to get a late-night network slot already? This is getting ridiculous.
