Oku kunokundenza ndivakale ngathi ndiyintloko, utshilo uJimmy Kimmel, kodwa andothuki kwaphela. Ngapha koko, bendiphoxekile kuba kuthathe ixesha elide.
KwakungoMvulo, umhla we-13 kuCanzibe, kwaye uMnu Kimmel, 34, wayethetha e-ofisini yakhe eLos Angeles, apho ngeeyure ezimbalwa wayeza kukhwela inqwelo-moya esiya kwisiXeko saseNew York. Ngosuku olulandelayo, i-red-cheeked ex-radio u-DJ. yajika i-tele-chauvinist yayiza kuthi chu ngokuphumelela iqonga e-New Amsterdam Theatre e-Times Square ukuze ithweswe isithsaba somdlalo kamabonakude ebusuku kakhulu i-Latest Shiny New Object. I-ABC ehlaselweyo ityikitye uMnu Kimmel ukuba enze umdlalo wehlaya emva kobusuku bobusuku, omnye oza kuthatha indawo ye-Bill Maher kunye nezoPolitiko ezingalunganga.
Umnumzana Kimmel uchithe iminyaka emithathu edlulileyo evutha njengomnyhadala we-Comedy Central's Man Show, ekhutshwa ngeveki, i-testosterone yasendle apho yena no-toothy babambisene no-Adam Carolla, bekhuthazwa ngabaphulaphuli abanomdla, abatya utywala. njengokuchama, ukuphulula amalungu esini kunye nokubaleka ngelixa ujikelezwe ziicwecwe ze-ze ze-naked ezabizwa ngokuba ziiJuggies, ezinye zazo zatsiba kwii-trampolines. Kubonwa njengendoda eluleka i-90 ngokuchaneka kwezopolitiko, i-Man Show yayingengobugcisa obuphezulu. Kumntu omnye bonisa isikethi, umnumzana uKimmel-ongenahempe-zonke iipawundi ezili-191 zakhe-wayomisile-wayinyibilikisa itshimpanzi.
Ngoku uza kulandela uTed Koppel.
Kodwa njengoko eqinisekisile ngeXesha eliKhulu, uMnu Kimmel wanikela esi sityhilelo: Indoda ibonise indoda ayisiyiyo le nto. Kwaye noMnumzana Carolla's whooping, herdlike studio abaphulaphuli?
Andithandi uninzi lwabo, ukunyaniseka, utshilo uMnu Kimmel. Ndiyayithanda icandelo elithile labo, kodwa andibathandi njengeqela. Ngamnye kubo bayaphila, kodwa njengeqela, andikuthandi ukubethwa kweengcingo kunye nokukhwaza.
Kwaye apho uya khona. Njengomninimzi wabantwana weTV ophefumla abantwana abakhonkotha igama lakhe, uMnu Kimmel wayediniwe kukukhala kwakhe, ukuthembeka okuthembekileyo. Wayenombulelo ngothando lwabo, kodwa wayekucaphukela ukugcoba kwabo okungenangqondo kwamagama anencoko. Wayeyicaphukela xa iMTV, eqikelela ukuba bazokugqibelela, bayithumela kunye noMnu Carolla eMardi Gras, umsitho awubiza ngokuba liphupha elibi. UJimmy Kimmel wakhula efuna ukuba ngumculi, ngenxa yokukhala kakhulu. Ngaba abantu babengayiqondi? Kungenxa yokuba wayedlala kakuhle ngeepakethi ezinama-horny zeengxolo ezikhulu zazingathethi ukuba wayengomnye wabo.
Uluvo lokuba ndingulo mfo obaleka ejobisa abantu e-esileni ngetawuli, ayindim lowo, utshilo. Ndiyathanda ukucinga ukuba kukho okungakumbi kum kunoko. Ndiyazi ukuba ikhona.
Kodwa ngoku uwuphelisile umsebenzi wakhe. Umnumzana Kimmel ujoyina inethiwekhi ye-gimpy kunye ne-franchise yasebusuku ebusuku. I-ABC yaqhushumisa kakhulu ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka xa yayijola noDavid Letterman, kodwa ke yalahleka yaza yamkhupha uMnu Koppel kunye noNightline, isilo sayo esigugileyo esasineendaba. Ukuphunyezwa kobusuku basebusuku kwahlala, kodwa bambalwa abantu abacinga ukuba kuya kuhlala ngaphezulu kweminyaka embalwa.
Injongo ye-ABC, ewe, kukufumana abancinci ukuba babambe amanye ama-18 ukuya kuma-34 amadoda angamadoda abuya kuMnu. Letterman noJay Leno. Kodwa ukhetho lukaMnu Kimmel lwaphakamisa amashiya, kwaye kungengenxa nje yokuba i-pee-pee gags yakhe yahlula ngamandla kunye nezoMnumzana uKoppel ezazithumela iingoma ezivela eCongo. Phakathi kwe-Letterman mishegoss, bekukho amarhe okuba ukuba abamfumananga uDave, u-ABC uza kugxotha umboniso weDaily Show kaJon Stewart, onobuqili nonomtsalane kwaye nohlobo lweebhlukhwe ezizenzekelayo ezibhalwa kwiNew Yorker kunye neNew York Times Magazine -ngamanye amagama, uhlobo lomfo uMnu Koppel ubuncinci uburharha, ukuba awuhleki.
Kwelinye icala, uMnu Kimmel, owazalelwa eBrooklyn kwaye wakhulela eLas Vegas, ubonwa njengesiqhulo esimnandi-uhlobo olunokubhalwa eMaxim, kwaye uMnu Koppel angaluthintela kwisiphekepheke saseDelta. Ngokwasemzimbeni, Mnu. Kimmel ubuyisa ubufanasini obuqhelekileyo: iinwele ezimfutshane, umgqomo-esifubeni kwaye uhlala efuna ukucheba, uyintlobo ethandekayo-schlep okhangeleka ngathi unxibe ijezi yeRanger nokuba akayinxibanga ijezi yeRanger. Ewe, ukuba kude kube sebusuku ekholejini kwaye uJay Leno ungunondyebo webhunga labafundi, u-David Letterman oneminyaka emihlanu wabuya wajika waba yiprojekhtha, u-Conan O'Brien umphathi we-improv kunye no-Craig Kilborn u-Lothario owayelala kunye namantombazana amatsha, emva koko uJimmy Kimmel ungoyena mntu upholileyo okrelekrele kune-2.0 GPA yakhe ngubani ongakhathaliyo ukuba uboleke iphonografi, okanye ukhathalele egumbini lakhe.
Ngenxa yolu thando, uMnu Kimmel wakwazi ukukhupha ulwimi-esesidleleni njenge-Man Show. Njengomnye wezithixo zakhe, uWoward Stern, obaleke kunye nabaphethe iimpahla kunye neemviwo zebele kuba wayenosapho emadlelweni kwaye uxelele wonke umntu ukuba wayenepenisi encinci, Mnu. Kimmel, oneminyaka eyi-14 etshatile kwaye unabantwana ababini abancinci ( Kwaye ngoku iyavela kumboniso kaMnu. Stern amaxesha ngamaxesha), ungumhlaseli wasemoyeni one-marshmallow ngaphakathi-ayisiyi-misogynist, kodwa ihagu ene-wink.
Ubuncinci wayedlala enye kwiTV. Njengoko elungiselela ukutsiba okukhulu emsebenzini wakhe, uMnu Kimmel uzimisele ukushiya loo ngcinga yomntu ongatshatanga.
Ngokuqinisekileyo ndiyayithanda imidlalo kunye nokusela ibhiya kunye nayo yonke loo nto, kodwa ndicinga ukuba ndingqonge kakuhle kunoko, utshilo uMnu Kimmel. Ndiyathetha, andinakuze ndibe kumanyano. Kuhlekisa kakhulu xa abantu besithi kum, 'Owu, le nto ihlekisayo yenkwenkwe,' kuba ulwalamano yinto yokugqibela endiya kuyenza. Andifuni ukuba kwiqela elindixelela ukuba ngoobani abahlobo bam. Ndinengxaki eyoneleyo yokugcina abafana kum.
UJimmy Kimmel uthe ukhuthazwa ngumsindo. Akoyikisi-mfondini uTravis Bickle-style umsindo, kodwa inzondo ngendlela awayevalelwa ngayo kwilizwe liphela, njengoWolfman Jack Willy Loman, kumanqanaba okuqala obomi bakhe bukanomathotholo. Kukho okuninzi okundicaphukisayo, kuyinyani, utshilo.
Phambi kokuba afike kumabonakude, uMnu Kimmel wasebenza nzima kwizikhululo zikanomathotholo eLas Vegas, ePhoenix, eSeattle, ePhoenix kwakhona, eTampa, ePalm Springs, eTucson kunye naseLos Angeles. Wagxothwa kuyo yonke imisebenzi ngaphandle kwemibini. Isamhlaba.
Ndagxothwa kuzo zonke ezi zikhululo zerediyo, kwaye abantu bahleka kwaye bacinga ukuba kupholile okanye nantoni na, utshilo uMnu Kimmel. Kodwa uyazi, yayingahlekisi kwaye kwakungapholi ngela xesha-yayindim nomfazi wam kwaye ekugqibeleni umntwana okanye ababini kufuneka bayokupakisha indlu yethu ngaphandle kwemali baqhubele kwesinye isixeko apho ngethemba lokuba ndiza kuba ndikwazi ukufumana omnye umsebenzi. Kwakungekho mnandi.
Umnumzana Kimmel uvumile ukuba wayeyintlungu enkulu kwi-esile kwiintsuku zakhe zokuqala zerediyo. Uthe, abalawuli bezikhululo zikanomathotholo, bahlala bafuna ukukwenza ube nguGary Collins, kwaye wayengumntwana ongenabungqina efuna ukuba bangaphazamisi ubukrelekrele bakhe obungafunyaniswanga. Ndandingumntu omdaka xa ndixelela la madoda sele ekhulile, 'Anihlekisi, ndiyazi ngcono-ndithembe nje, utshilo uMnu Kimmel. Ndiyabona ukuba kutheni bengandithandi.
Waqala ukufumana ilizwi lakhe kwisikhululo sikanomathotholo esimamela kancinci i-R & B ePalm Springs, apho wajikeleza khona uPeabo Bryson kunye noRegina Belle amarekhodi kunye nomhlobo wobuntwana ogama linguCarson Daly wayengumfundi wakhe. Eqinisekile ukuba akukho mntu umameleyo kwaye ke akukho mntu ukhathalayo ngento ayenzileyo, uMnu Kimmel uhloniphe isenzo somntu oqhelekileyo sasendle, ekhalaza malunga nomphathi wakhe, esenza iminxeba engacacanga, ephakamisa isihogo. Kwakungathi senza umboniso kwigumbi lethu lokuhlala, utshilo uMnu Kimmel. Kwaye kwakukhulula kakhulu ngendlela yokuziva ngathi akukho mntu umameleyo, kuba uziva ngathi ungathetha nantoni na-kwaye ndiqalisile ukuthetha nantoni na.
Ekugqibeleni, uMnu. Kimmel wayilungisa indlela yakhe eya kwi-KROQ ye-L.A., apho waphakama waduma njengesiqhushumbisi sezemidlalo esibizwa ngokuba yiJimmy i-Sports Guy. Abantu baqala ukumbiza ngezimvo zikamabonwakude. Kodwa wabothusa abagibeli ngokujika uninzi lweembono zabo.
Ndithe hayi kubantu abaninzi xa ndingenanto iqhubekayo, kwaye abakholwanga, watsho, ehleka. Ndandinomathotholo nje, kwaye babefana, 'Sifuna ukuba ubambe lo mboniso.' Ndathi hayi, kwaye babefana, 'Yintoni le?' Ndingathi, 'Ayivakali intle. Kwaye baya kuhamba, 'Kodwa ubukade unomathotholo! Awufuni ukuba kumabonwakude? ’Ndingahamba,‘ Ewe-kodwa ndifuna ukwenza into entle. ’
Ngo-1997, uMnu. Kimmel wabuya umva, wavuma ukuba abe ngumninimzi kwiWin Ben Stein's Mone y, umboniso weCommy Central quiz apho abo bathatha inxaxheba bezama ukulinganisa ubuchule kunye nonozakuzaku owayesakuba ngumncedisi kaNixon wajika umdlali weqonga bhanyabhanya (Bueller… Bueller… Bueller…) . Umboniso owaziwayo ufumene uMnu Kimmel ukuthembeka okubalulekileyo; Uphumelele usuku losuku uEmmy ngo-1999 kumdlalo wokubonisa umdlalo obalaseleyo.
Kodwa nangoko, wayenomdla wokubonisa ngaphezulu. Xa ndandikuboniso lukaBen Stein, bendisoloko ndifuna ngasese ukubonisa ukuba ndiyazazi iimpendulo kwimibuzo emininzi, utshilo uMnu Kimmel. Uziva kancinci ngokufanayo kwigig yakhe eqhubekayo njengesihlalo sokuxela izihlalo kwisitulo sikaFox sikaNF.L. pregame show, apho adlala khona i-schmo ehlekisayo ezama ukukhetha phakathi kwabaNgcwele kunye neeBhakhane.
Abantu balingana nokuhlekisa ngokuba sisidenge, utshilo uMnu Kimmel. Kwaye uyazi, ndingavuya ukuthatha uvavanyo lwe-IQ okanye uvavanyo lwe-SAT. Kungenxa yokuba [jock-turned-Fox-personality] UHowie Long unxiba iiglasi akumenzi abe sisilumko. Ndiyakuqinisekisa ukuba ndikrelekrele kunabo bafana.
Umnumzana Daly, isithixo seMTV esikwangumboniso we-1: 35 kusasa we-NBC obizwa ngokuba yiLast Call, obize umnumzana uKimmel ngomnye wabantu abakrelekrele awaziyo. Ufundwe kakuhle, ungumlingani omkhulu wokuSukela-unolwazi oluninzi kumanqanaba amaninzi, utshilo uMnu Daly.
Sekunjalo, uMnu Kimmel wayengenakunyanzelisa ingqondo yakhe nakubani na. Kungcono ukuba ubukrelekrele bakho buthotyelwe kunokuba ubutye kakhulu, wacinga njalo.
Ndicinga ukuba yiyo loo nto uDennis Miller wabethwa entloko ngabini ngababini, utshilo uMnu Kimmel, ebhekisa kwijester yasebusuku yoMvulo ebusuku. UDennis Miller ubonakala enomdla wokubonisa abantu ukuba ulumkile kunokubonisa abantu ukuba uyahlekisa. Kukho izigidi zabantu abakrelekrele-akukho bantu baninzi abahlekisayo. Ukuba injongo yakho kukubonisa abantu ukuba ufunde kangakanani, kukho into engalunganga xa ungumntu ohlekisayo.
IMan Show, eyaphehlelelwa ngo-1999, ayinakubangela ezo ngxabano. Ephuhliswe nguMnu Kimmel, Mnu. Carrolla kunye noDan Kellison, lo mboniso waba yinkqubo yesibini enamanani aphezulu kwiComedy Central (emva kweSouth Park) ngaphandle kobuqhetseba obunenwele obuvela kubagxeki xa yayiqala. USusan Faludi, kwiNewsweek, wayichitha njengomboniso apho ubukhohlakali bubonakala ngathi buyinto engekhoyo eyindoda.
Umnumzana Kimmel uthe akasiqondi isizathu sokuba i-Man Show ibengokutya kweempikiswano ezenziwayo. Ngezihlandlo ezahlukeneyo, kwahlekiswa njengobungqina bokuba i-troglodyte eyindoda ibuyile kwinkcubeko ye-pop; ukubuyela umva ngokuchasene nokulingana ngokwesini; yokungabi nazintloni kwabaphathi beentambo zikamabonakude.
Ihlala indikhumbuza enye yeengxelo zam ezimbi zeencwadi, apho kufuneka ufumane amanqaku amathathu ukuxhasa impikiswano yakho, utshilo uMnu Kimmel. Eyokuqala iluhlobo olomeleleyo, kwaye eyesithathu yomelele ngokwaneleyo, kodwa le isembindini iyinkomo yenkomo.
Siya konwaba aba bafana banxilileyo-siyenza njani into ebonisa into eqhubekayo eMelika? UMnu Kimmel wabuza. ‘Owu, kukuphindisela okuchasene nobufazi.’ Hayi! Yimbonakalo abantu abacinga ukuba iyahlekisa. Kwakhona, abafana bathanda ukubukela amantombazana egcuma. Ilula njengoko kunjalo.
Akunjalo nje abafana, watsho. Umnumzana Kimmel wathi abafazi bamxelela ngalo lonke ixesha ukuba bayayithanda iMan Show; Uthe abalandeli benkqubo ababhinqileyo bakuthatha ukunyaniseka kwabo njengebheji yokuphikisana nembeko. Ndicinga ukuba ibenza bazive bekhethekile, utshilo.
Ngexesha elide, nangona kunjalo, nezona njongo zintle zabaphulaphuli zaqala ukunxiba kuMnu Kimmel. Uthe ngelixa bonwabile ukuza kwabantu babukele, yena noMnumzana Carolla babedikwe kukubizwa kwekati kunye nokukhonkotha kubaphulaphuli babo; ukuba babezimisele ukwandisa ububanzi. Umnumzana Kimmel uthe bathetha ngayo ngalo lonke ixesha bethatha esinye isiqephu.
Abalandeli abanogonyamelo babazingela esitratweni, nabo. Mna noAdam sihambahamba, kwaye abantu baya kwiibhanana, utshilo uMnu Kimmel.
Ngamanye amaxesha bekuninzi kakhulu. Umnumzana Kimmel uxelele ibali malunga nexesha awayesitya ngalo nabahlobo eLas Vegas kunye nomlandeli othethayo wahlala ngaphakathi kwebhokisi yabo, wababambisa ngaphakathi.
Ndicinga ukuba ubuntu bam buyayamkela loo nto, utshilo uMnu Kimmel. Ndicinga ukuba kukho izinto ekufuneka ujongane nazo xa ucofa ibhiya ekupheleni komboniso wakho weTV.
Umnumzana Kimmel ungena kumabonakude ebusuku kakhulu ngexesha losasazo, ekholelwa ukuba umhla we-11 kuSeptemba ubajikile abaphulaphuli ngesondo kunye nobundlobongela, baphinde baba ngabasasazi, banikezela ukutya okuzinzileyo ekuzonwabiseni okuphakathi-kwendlela . Lo moya ubonakele kwimiboniso ephambili yale veki, apho i-urbane NBC, ikhaya le-Will & Grace kunye ne-Fear Factor, ibhengeze uthotho olutsha olubizwa ngokuba yi-American Dreams, malunga nesonka esimhlophe usapho lwe-1960 kunye nentombi enethemba lokwenza iitapile ezicujiweyo Umgangatho waseMelika. Nokuba i-WB ebuthathaka iyehlisa i-hemline yayo, yazisa amaza amaxabiso osapho, kubandakanya nokubuyiswa kwe-CBS's Family Affair yakudala, eneenkwenkwezi zeSweet Transvestite evela eTranssexual Transylvania, uTim Curry, njengomngcamli.
Umboniso kaMnu. Kimmel-ochazwa ngokukhululekileyo njengentetho ethatha iyure kunye nemiboniso eyahlukeneyo-ayizukuqala kwi-ABC kude kube nguJanuwari 2003. Nangona kunjalo, i-ABC, nangona kunjalo, ikhawulezile ukukhaba i-Political Ayichanekanga kumgaqo; uthungelwano lubhengeze nge-14 kaMeyi ukuba kungekudala luza kuba ngumnumzana Maher kunye nosihlalo angene kuwo (geez, le nethiwekhi iya isiba mandundu kwaye ityhafise) i-Nightline eyongezelelweyo yesiqingatha seyure ebizwa ngokuba yiNightline Close-up.
Ke, yiza kwangoko kunyaka olandelayo, lixesha likaJimmy. UBill Hillary, usekela-mongameli olawulayo kunye nomphathi jikelele weComedy Central, uthe uyonwabile ngomqeshwa wakhe, kodwa ucinga ukuba utshintsho lukaMnu Kimmel olusuka kwintambo luya kuba ngumceli mngeni, ukuba kungenxa yababukeli abanobuqili ekufuneka eguqukile.
Ukunyaniseka ngokugqibeleleyo nawe, ndicinga ukuba kuya kuba nzima ekuqaleni, kuba abaphulaphuli baka-ABC badala kakhulu, utshilo uMnu Hillary. Kodwa ndicinga ukuba nabani na angangena ngenene, angakwazi. Umceli mngeni kuye kukuba ababukeli abancinci bathembeke kwinkqubo yakhe kwaye beze kwiABC.
UStacey Lynn Koerner, usekela-mongameli wophando losasazo lwe-Initiative Media, inkampani ehlalutya imithombo yeendaba, wathi kwi-ABC, uMnu. Kimmel kufanele ukuba abe nobubanzi obuncinci, ashenxise uMan Show wakhe wangaphandle. Inani eliphambili labantu ezinzulwini zobusuku ngamadoda aselula-kodwa oko akuthethi ukuba abantu basetyhini ababukeli.
Umnumzana Daly wayengacacanga ngakumbi malunga ne-pal ye-ABC show yakhe. Jonga, utshilo. Jonga i-fuck ngaphandle.
Ngokubonisa uMntu, ikamva lakhe alicacanga. UMnu Kimmel wayeya kuthi kuphela, andazi ukuba kuzakwenzeka ntoni. UMnumzana Hillary waseComedy Central uthe uthungelwano alugqitywanga ukuba umboniso uzakuqhubeka, mhlawumbi noMnu Carolla nomnye umntu; uthungelwano, ewe, luyidlulisile ngempumelelo iDaily Show kuMnu Kilborn wayisa kuMnu Stewart. (Umnumzana Hillary wongeze ukuba iComedy Central ikwa-odole i-Crank Yankers yeminyaka emine, umboniso woonodoli abatsha ovela kuMnumzana Kimmel, Mnu. Carolla no Mnu. Kellison.)
Umnumzana Kimmel, nangona kunjalo, uya kuba exakekile ehamba. Kwinkcazo-ntetho ye-ABC ngoMeyi 14, waqhula esithi uceba ukufumana uBarbara Walters kwitrampolini.
Oku kunokumenza azwakale ngathi uyintloko, kodwa uJimmy Kimmel ucinga ukuba yena kunye nobusuku banokusebenza.
Wonke umntu endimaziyo ucinga ukuba ndiyahlekisa, utshilo. Nabantu abangandithandiyo bacinga ukuba ndiyahlekisa ebomini. Akukho sizathu sokuba kungafuneki iguqulele kwi-United States iphela.
