WRAP IT UP…..THE JIMMY KIMMEL SHOW PART TWO!!! YOU’VE SEEN PART ONE HERE.

FIRST I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT I ENJOYED GOING TO WATCH THE SHOW VERY MUCH.

THE NUMBER ONE QUESTION PEOPLE ALWAYS ASK IS….DID YOU SEE YOURSELF ON TV? THE ANSWER IS NO. THE KIMMEL SHOW IS FILMED ON 2 DIFFERENT NIGHTS. USUALLY, ONE WITH JIMMY’S STAND UP, WHICH IS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SHOW, AND ANOTHER INTERVIEW WITH A GUEST. THE OTHER IS 2 INTERVIEWS AND A CONCERT SEGMENT. WHEN THE CAMERA SWEEPS THE AUDIENCE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SHOW IT WAS THE STAND UP AUDIENCE THAT WAS SHOWN. I WOULD RATHER BE IN THE CONCERT SEGMENT OF THE SHOW ANYTIME. I GOT TO SEE A BIG NAME ARTIST FOR FREE.

WHEN P DIDDY CAME OUT HE CAME OVER AND LAID ACROSS JIMMY’S DESK LIKE A PLAYBOY BUNNY…EVERYONE LAUGHED (WE THOUGHT THIS WAS LIVE ON THE SHOW). THIS PART WAS CUT FROM THE FINAL SHOW.

TONY HAWK CAME INTO THE STUDIO…..RIDING IN FROM THE LOBBY OF THE THEATER. THEY HAD A BIG LONG RAMP THERE. WHEN I FIRST GOT TO THE SHOW WE KNEW WHAT THE RAMP WAS FOR. IT WAS REALLY COOL.

THE CONCERT SEGMENT WAS FILMED WITH 3 CAMERAS, ONE STATIONARY CAMERA IN THE REAR CENTER OF THE AUDIENCE AND MOVING CRANE CAMERA, AND A GUY WITH A CAMERA THAT RUNS AROUND TO ANY AREA HE OR THE DIRECTOR WISHES.

YOU WOULD BE SURPRISED HOW MUCH THEY USE THE SWINGING CRANE CAMERA, WHICH IS OPERATED BY REMOTE CONTROL. WE ALL KNOW THE TYPE OF SHOT WERE YOU SEE A CAMERA SWEEP OVER THE HEADS OF THE CONCERT CROWD, BUT, IT IS ALSO USE AS A STILL CAMERA THEY CAN USE IN ANY POSITION THEY WISH. I FOUND THIS AN AWESOME FACT AND VERY INTERESTING.

MR KIMMEL STANDS ON A LITTLE WOODEN TABLE IN THE BACK OF THE CONCERT CROWD AND INTRODUCES THE ARTIST….IT LOOKED SO TACKY WHEN THEY WERE FILMING IT, BUT, WHEN YOU SEE IT ON TV HE LOOKS LIKE HE IS TOWERING OVER THE CROWD. IT LOOKED GREAT IN THE FINAL CUT.

FINALLY, WHEN MIKE WAS CALLED UP TO MEET TONY HAWK, MR HAWK GAVE HIM AND AUTOGRAPHED SKATEBOARD, VIDEO GAMES, PROTECTION EQUIPMENT AND SOME OTHER THINGS, THAT IS WHY I ALMOST CRIED, I WAS JUST SO HAPPY FOR HIM.

I MUST APOLOGIZE TO MIKE, CALLING HIM A RETARDED KID, YOU MUST BE 21 TO BE A KIMMEL AUDIENCE MEMBER.

PS. THEY TOLD US WE COULD GO HOME AND WATCH THE SHOW THAT NIGHT, THIS WAS A FALSEHOOD, IT WAS NOT ON, AND I WAS PISSED, WHY WOULD THEY TELL US THAT IF IT WAS NOT AIRING THAT NIGHT…… REALLY?

IT AIRED THE FOLLOWING NIGHT.

OVERALL IT WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE AND I WOULD LIKE TO DO IT AGAIN, ON SOME DIFFERENT SHOWS……MAYBE, JAY LENO?
