Kimmel Is Bi!

Jimmy Kimmel is about to do something totally insane and kinda awesome.
The talk show host is going bicoastal in a very real way.
During the week of October 22nd, Kimmel will fill in for a vacationing Regis Philbin on Live with Regis and Kelly. Jimmy will fly back and forth across the country daily, co-hosting with Kelly Ripa in New York each morning and taping his own show in Los Angeles each night.
What? Why?????
“I am a little bit insane,” says Kimmel. “It will be difficult, but that’s how committed I am to entertaining America. And parts of Canada.”
Jimmy will prep for his show while he flies to Los Angeles and hopes to catch some sleep during his overnight flights to New York.
We sure hope he’s flying a private jet!
“For whatever we lose from not being able to prepare for a long time, I think we’ll gain in stories and stunts as it happens,” he said. “People can tune in and watch me collapse on air.”
Plus, he adds, “If there’s a good guest on Live with Regis and Kelly, I might force them on the plane and make them come back to L.A. with me.”
Kimmel said he won’t do any cheating either. So he won’t tape two episodes of his show in one night or two of Live in one morning.
“You can easily get in a rut when you’re doing a show every night and this is definitely not rut territory,” says Kimmel. “If you give me enough advance notice, I will agree to almost anything.”
Ya, he’s kinda crazy. And smart!
