We just went to see Jimmy Kimmel Live last night(2-24-05) and we thought it was great ! Very professional production. Didn't have to wait in line very long, like some other tapings. Security was good also.
As far as the show is concerned - I think it is just as funny as its competitors. The Cousin Sal bits are hilarious. Uncle Frank is a really nice guy too ! If you are in the area, I would suggest getting tickets.
The audience isn't very large. Only about 100 people. The Band is great and the sound system is superb.
I hat this 10 line rule. Again, I think this is a great hour of late night television.
