Jimmy Kimmel Live

Today I went to see Jimmy Kimmel Live, a show that's taped. I've never been to a taping of a TV show before, and as much as I'm a fan, I don't think I'd go to the trouble again. If someone handed me a ticket to be in the Saturday Night Live audience and escorted me to my seat without having to stand in line for two hours, I'd happily take it, but despite having a PRIORITY ticket for JKL, I stood in line with the masses for almost two hours before we were allowed into the theater. I did have a second row seat however, from which I noticed that Jimmy is a lot smaller than I thought. The guests were Zach Galifianakis, hilarious as usual, and Antonia Thomas, whom I thought looked familiar on The Good Doctor, and now I know why - she's the British actress I know from a show called Lovesick (previously known by the hideous title, Scrotal Recall). I didn't recognize her at first as she's yet another Brit who can do a flawless American accent so I didn't tie her to Lovesick which is decidedly British. The musical guest was the band Tune-Yards, who did two fantastically lively numbers. It was fun, but unless Dave decides to do another talk show and invites me to sit in the chair on the stage right next to him, I'm good.
