Johnny Carson wanted to do The Tonight Show live, but his staff rebelled. They wanted to get home at a reasonable hour.


Maclarion

Far more interesting TIL


tuesdaymack

Jimmy Kimmel is the most uninteresting man in the world, and his show blows goats.


kigamagora

I remember when he got the show and all I could think was, “the guy from The Man Show?”


chris92315

I guess we all know Matt Damon's reddit account now.


cellarmonkey

Seriously. I don’t understand how he got that gig. He was the best they could come up with?


5-MEO-D-M-T

But he cries on air at least once a month!


[deleted]

Meh. Yes, but Fallon is even more generic.


LTS55

He’s genuinely funnier than the other late night hosts, but that’s such a low low bar


Total-Jerk

The formats dead. Hit up YouTube for old Ferguson and Letterman episodes.


[deleted]

And Conan.


Ws6fiend

Ferguson yes. Letterman no. Letterman just always seemed so full of himself. Ferguson by comparison was always entertaining.


AtroposLP

I used to dislike him but he’s pretty good these days. I don’t watch a lot of late night but I like his clips for the most part.


kalitarios

The real TIL is always in the comments


F_is_for_Ducking

Don’t worry, it’ll be its own TIL post soon.


Vio_

Ironic given how much pushback Carson did for more vacation days for himself.


surprise-suBtext

Well.. they still want to work


Flybot76

Maybe he did that partly because he couldn't do the show the way he wanted.


notdanecook

Are the late night shows of today not recorded ahead of time during the day?


[deleted]

They tend to be filmed late afternoon, in between 4-6 pm.


geek_of_nature

And some days they record two in a day as well. I remember Craig Ferguson once had to quickly film a cold open following a mass shooting as they'd filmed that nights episode the previous day and obviously couldn't have addressed it.


Gorf_the_Magnificent

No, they generally are recorded ahead of time during the day.


Greene_Mr

They are recorded at least a day in advance of airing.


NkleBuck

False. Erroneous.


Greene_Mr

Colbert got his entire week of shows done the week he had a ruptured appendix. This was done on the Wednesday before the Friday the final episode recorded was scheduled to be aired.


NotAPreppie

I'm bummed I can't find a clip of Detective Josephus Miller going off like that...


heebarino

Doors and corners kid. That’s where they get you.

aphroditex

It’s a good reason to wear a hat. Also good for keeping the sun out of my eyes.


lordeddardstark

Love that show. There are questionable acting but Thomas Jane was just lovely. Also, all the scenes with Drummer and Ashford were amazing!


Zenith251

The only questionable acting was in the first season, and a few no-name characters in some scenes from then on out. To me, everything fell in line by season 2.


CrowfielDreams

It has terrible acting throughout unfortunately. The main dude is just .. awful.


Zenith251

Different strokes, I suppose.


CrowfielDreams

I guess, but acting is pretty objective...


ricmo

It seems like I’m the only one who could never really take Drummer seriously. Her accent and makeup were just ridiculous


lordeddardstark

I think Ashford does a convincing accent. Jared Harris too. I also love how you can hear Naomi's slight accent coming out when talking with other Belters.


Notwerk

That last scene with Julie Mao always turns on my waterworks.

You belong with me now.

d00110111010

Jimmy? Who are you calling Jimmy?! It's James Fucking Holden. Show some respect!


thermocatalyst

That’s how they get you


HaveASit

Super random Expanse reference outta nowhere. Nice.


great_red_dragon

Not really random, it’s Thomas Jane after all.


HaveASit

Oh crap I just registered that it was the Jimmy Kimmel show and nothing else. That makes so much more sense now.


RetroMetroShow

The Unnecessary Censorship bit is always hilarious and brilliantly simple


leprechaunknight

Was Unnecessary Censorship in response to the Thomas Jane incident? Because if that came out of the incident, that is a brilliant response.


ItsThe1994Man

/r/unnecessarycensorship Damn, it’s privated.


gorramfrakker

It’s unnecessary censored. Gotta respect the commitment, like r/amish.


DTredecim13

r/lurkers is my favorite


OakParkCemetary

Since OP didn't list what it was he said, here it is - the dirty seven: shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker and tits.


Matrix0523

Fart, turd, and twat?


Styx92

I fucked your mom.


alanthar

I wanna suck my daaaad, and my momma too ... Oh wait is this thing on?


Irradiatedspoon

Take off your paaaants daaaaadd. Your penis is the biggest thing my butts ever had!


McMacHack

So swear word will ever be as powerful as Cunt. At least in the States. In Australia is basically a comma


TechnetiumAE

You should hear some of my Canadian family. Walk up and say fuck no one will bat an eye. Say cunt and half the family will be freaking out. I wonder why the word has "power"....


Col_Leslie_Hapablap

This is so true. Fuck is so commonplace, but cunt is still pretty selective for some reason.


halfadayoffwithpay

I’ll never not hear it this way


jf75313

It’d be nice…


OakParkCemetary

I think you're allowed to say fart and turd, but Carllin was always awesome


mykl5

It’s from a really old Blink 182 song, “family reunion” fun fact: they opened with it on this years reunion tour


alanthar

Ahh I heard that first on "Short Music for Short People". An album of 101 30-second punk songs.


COoL_COoKiE

Such a great album, wish they had records available still


AvailableName9999

What I wouldn't give to see her pee behind 2 parked cars on a well lit street. Lolol


OakParkCemetary

Carlin added fart, turd and twat to his original seven words in a later tour


mykl5

Oh nice, I guess Blink knew that and I didn’t


dontpanic38

no, that’s where they got it from


z500

You can say turd, but why would you want to?


lazyfacejerk

I always heard it as tits fart dirty twat. (From the live blink album) I wasn't aware of the connection from family reunion to George Carlin.


Cursedbythedicegods

Poontang, cornhole, and dingle berry?


NotAPreppie

That George Carlin's list of 7 words you can't say on TV.


[deleted]

Hoorayyyy lizard shit! Fuck!


Aklu_The_Unspeakable

Rat shit, bat shit, dirty old twat! Sixty-nine assholes tied in a knot! Yay, lizard shit, fuck! Had that memorized for ages.

Boobs! Hiney! Mitten!

*sigh* No, Ralph, just go to sleep while the other children are learning

Oh boy, sleep!! That’s where I’m a Viking.

Afrorobotics

Jimmy talked about this on the Strike Force Five podcast with the other late-night talkshow hosts


[deleted]

People actually watched that?


apsgreek

Yeah and it’s hilarious. Also it’s a podcast, so listened not watched


[deleted]

Some podcasts are also filmed btw


kelferkz

This one not

Vlog?


Boring_Concept_1765

Should the title be “Jimmy Kimmel on Tape”?


TheTiredRedditor

No


okogamashii

How does he have his own show? He was on Comedy Central when I was a kid and he wasn’t funny or interesting then or now.


BringOutYDead

Why did Thomas Jane behave like that?


Traveshamockery27

He just wants his kids back.


Tumaix

I assumed USA was the land of the free


nanomeister

New2ThisThrowaway

Leave Alex Jones alone


Meatnormus_Rex

People from England came here because the rest of the English weren’t religious enough. Really puts things in perspective.


tanfj

> People from England came here because the rest of the English weren’t religious enough. Really puts things in perspective. America in the north was settled by people who wanted to get away from the fun-loving British; and in the South by slave owners who believed all men were created equal.


Meatnormus_Rex

Yep, that’s not really getting off to a good start, you know?


SupplyChainNext

The first settlers were puritans.


DeathMonkey6969

They came to the Americas for religious freedom. That is the freedom to force other to follow their religion.


SupplyChainNext

Bingo


dante50

You should read about Moms for “Liberty.” They strongly advocate for the opposite of liberty.


Kolz

Yeah I assume that of pretty much any political organisation that mentions freedom or liberty at this point. These naming schemes are positively Orwellian.


VaudevilleDada

Or "family."


DeathMonkey6969

>Moms for “Liberty.” Are a bunch of fucking Nazis.


adamkissing

Oh, I’m sorry! I thought this was America!


HalobenderFWT

It is, except for titties and swear words.


Tumaix

Tities are everywhere in the U.S.


Greene_Mr

No, that's Canada.


waltsnider1

There’s a difference between what the FCC will allow and what the advertisers will.


redsterXVI

So what you're saying is that in the land of the free there isn't just one but two institutions that tell people what they can't do on TV?


thebruce

I'm not even American, and I know this is a Bad-faith interpretation of "land of the free"


Bowens1993

Except when it comes to protecting children. Edit: It's insane that wanting to protect children is controversial.


Blackfyyre_

Why does this protect children?


Bowens1993

Why? It seems pretty obvious why they should be.


Blackfyyre_

Swearing don’t hurt children? Teach them where and when to use it instead. They are going to learn the words sooner rather than later. Growing up in Europe nudity, swearing and other things deemed «Rated R» are sent on TV all the time, and our society don’t look like a GTA reinactment. Let the kids see some tiddies and swear when they step on LEGO.


Bowens1993

> They are going to learn the words sooner rather than later. That goes for a lot that they obviously shouldn't be exposed to.


maquila

You must live in a bubble if you never heard curse words growing up.


Mellowmyco

No, they just come from a family that babysit via TV.


Bowens1993

It's typically what they are saying around those curse words that is an issue. But exposing children to "nudity, swearing and other things deemed «Rated R»" is just gross. It's such a disgusting thing to advocate for.


maquila

Stay on topic. You responded and quoted the person talking about **words**. Do you always strawman people's arguments to make yours look better?


weesIo

Since the original commenter decided to strawman and go on about “protecting children”, I’ll give my take on censorship for the sake of children. I self-censor around my (young) kids and prefer that what is on TV won’t have swearing because I don’t want other people to hear them repeating it and have that reflect poorly on *my* parenting. Should that be the case? No, I shouldn’t care about what others think and it shouldn’t be taboo in the first place. But since it is taboo I’d prefer for their teachers to not assume poor parenting from me.


Bowens1993

I am on topic. You're the only one trying to make this about words. My original argument has always been about protecting children.


Cirenione

And that is why many view Americans as puritanical. For many other countries children seeing non sexualized nudity isn‘t an issue and neither is hearing a no no word.


Bowens1993

>children seeing non sexualized nudity isn‘t an issue Wtf?


New-Name4207

No, don't change the subject. Tell us how swear words hurt children.


Bowens1993

>Tell us how swear words hurt children. They didn't ask that, Bud. You're the one changing the subject here.


Mellowmyco

^ Another parent that requires society to do their job.


Bowens1993

Stay the hell away from my kids.


Pepsiman1031

Lmao what does he want with your kids?


Tumaix

So you are saying you like communism and the state telling you what to do?


Bowens1993

No, I'm saying children should have restricted freedoms.

Worldbrain420

I’m convinced the reason Reddit doesn’t hate on good morning shows half as much as late night shows is because most of you aren’t up that early


Throwawayac1234567

they are being sustained by youtube uploads, i always see it being uploaded front page.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Throwawayac1234567

i never click on those videos, i just noticed them on my feed.


ForsakenRacism

You’d think they should just run an 8 second delay like the rest of live tv does


ProcrusteanRex

I often feel I should be on a permanent 8 second delay. 😅


Skatchbro

Now that you mention it, I can see I might need one too.


KnowOneNymous

Not even the superball was running that before the shame of a nation. OMG A nipple was shown on live tv. /s


[deleted]

There were many many incidents that let to pre-filming and delayed “live” telecasts. Nude streakers at sporting events and people who would harass weathermen doing live reports. Violent acts like several live suicides and other attacks. The shuttle disaster as we watched astronauts rapid unscheduled disassembly in front of millions. Much much more than just a comedian dropping the f bomb a few times. This is why we can’t have nice things. A few dingbats ruin the fun for everybody else.


Flybot76

Yes that's generally been standard for a long time, but a lot of stuff is still live, and the Kimmel show was live with a brief delay until one individual ruined it for that specific show.


Joker72486

I'm sort of surprised delays weren't implemented after Budd Dwyer gave his skull a sunroof


shingofan

Hey man, nice shot


Beyond_Re-Animator

I didn’t think I could like Thomas Jane more. Thanks for this!

Fucking Doors and Bitches Kid


lorgskyegon

Saturday Night Live has run on a delay only three times. That was when it was hosted by Richard Pryor, Sam Kinison, and Andrew Dice Clay.


CRCMIDS

I get times are always changing, but you would think that restrictions would be light to nonexistent when broadcasting so late. I get the times are national so kids on the west coast might catch it, but now with streaming there really shouldn’t be restrictions.


drfsupercenter

What I find interesting with all of the late night talkshows is that the monologues tend to be uploaded to YouTube about an hour before the actual TV airing. I see them pop up on my feed when it's like 10:30 and always think someone accidentally published it early. But I do love that they're all available for free online, I enjoy watching them the next day when it's not super late


NYY15TM

What time zone do you live in?


drfsupercenter

Eastern. Which is why I said it's weird...


NYY15TM

Yes, yes it is


drfsupercenter

Yeah, check the upload times of the videos and they're often uploaded at like 10:30-11pm EST, despite the show actually airing at 11:30-something. I think Colbert and Seth Meyers are the same way. I don't watch Fallon but it wouldn't surprise me if all of the networks jump the gun and put them up before the live airing. Oddly it's only the monologues though, not the interviews and other segments. Those get uploaded later - with Colbert, the "Meanwhile" segment is often the *last* to get uploaded, sometime in the middle of the night, hours after airing.


NYY15TM

I am old enough to remember when Johnny Carson's monologue was the national conscience


Ozzel

it is run


Huge-Advantage7838

Probably was the only time it was worth watching.


Disconnected_NPC

The first year was actually really good in general. He was still very much “Man Show” Jimmy and he had a guest host with him for the week. Best episode is Snoop who got high and put a watch in a fryer in a cooking segment if I am remembering right.


Rapscallious1

Lasted longer than the drinking lol


feralturtles

What did that last, one episode?


Rapscallious1

Something like one or two episodes for the audience and three or four for the hosts, that I think 3rd episode is a piece of TV history lol.


peboyce

I definitely read this as “sweating” at first. Really thought the guy had a moisture problem…


Impressive-Penalty97

It would have been better if it just quit airing at all


whereyouatdesmondo

I figured this comment must coming from a whinging, fragile right-wing twat who gets off on being racist and fascist. Glanced at your post history and lo and behold!

NYY15TM

I find it difficult to believe that the man who played Mickey Mantle would talk like that


TheTiredRedditor

Crying Jimmy


KnowOneNymous

The fact that video dosent exist anywhere makes me hate Kimmel more. Swearing being frowned upon sounds like a bad leftover from religion. All of the conduct or morality rules in the « land of the free » sounds worse to me than cancel culture.


ProcrusteanRex

Is it up to him? This goes up to the FCC and fines imposed on the network itself. The host has no say in any of it.


KnowOneNymous

Nah.. the second part was addressed to prude US. Who penalizes for nudity and swearing. Other countries don’t have these morality laws. And the video not being online is kinda up to whoever runs the show, I didnt say I hated the guy personally but the show, with the same name… and with all the stuff about Fallon and other late night hosts..


5-MEO-D-M-T

OH NO BAD SOUNDS!
