I think Jimmy is probably not a very nice person to be around (I thought the same about David Letterman and Andy Rooney). But I think he's pretty funny.

YES!! And we got to see a bit of Sean's. It was funny to me because I know that never would have gotten by our TV censors.

 

Wow Really not funny.

 

I will respectfully have to disagree. I'm not saying it was bust a gut funny. But I found parts of it amusing. And I really only posted it because of the 'tallywacker' reference (even my spellchecker knows how to spell it now:p), and to show how different British TV is in that they didn't bleep out the showing of Sean's bits.

I found it somewhat amusing, but I've been spoiled in the past by the likes of the "Carry On" troupe, the Benny Hill show, and Fawlty Towers.

Is Jack Paar the only late night American host (in Jack's case, "The Tonight Show") to be successful in a once a week prime top talk show (from about 1962-1965)? Leno tried it. Steve Allen was successful too, but his show was really a variety show. Am I missing someone obvious?

A hijack of the thread (momentary only) to show another example of something that would never get past the American TV censors. Watch closely. It occurs at the end of the clip.
