One of my favorite satirical news broadcasters of the moment
is Jimmy Kimmel. Jimmy Kimmel is an American comedian, actor, and television
host. His show ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ has been airing since 2003, and has had
great success in both America and Canada. Kimmel’s show involves interviews with
famous celebrities, asking questions to the public, watching viral videos and
much more. One of Kimmel’s most popular segments involves challenges being sent
out to his audience, and having the challenges being filmed where they will
then be aired on the show. His most famous challenge being ‘I Told My Kid I Ate
All Their Halloween Candy,’ where the parents then told their kids they ate
their Halloween candy, and then filmed their reaction. Although Jimmy Kimmel’s
show is very similar to other talk show hosts such as Jay Leno and George
Lopez, I find Kimmel to have a more carefree humor which comes across as very
real to the audience. Much of the time Jimmy Kimmel won’t use offense comedy,
and will keep the subject matter light and interesting for the viewers. Many
newscasters today will discuss harsh subject matter where they judge certain
celebrities based on their actions or on their appearances. To me this can be
very distasteful and unfair to many celebrities. I believe Jimmy Kimmel is an
excellent newscaster and has created a excellent talk show.
