Jimmy Kimmel

What you just said is, in a way, there's more material to work with.

What would you say his impact on comedy has been?

Well, I don't know if there's more material.

It's just more focused in one area.

I'm not a stand-up comic.

I know for...

stand-up comics, you know, they work out their material, and they do mostly that material every night, so politics change so quickly, it doesn't necessarily lend itself to that job.

For me, I've always been more interested in

doing new jokes when I started on the radio every day and doing new jokes every night, I don't love the idea of repeating myself.

It feels more like acting to me than broadcasting.

I think essentially I'm a broadcaster and I'm more interested in that.

So I can't speak to whether it's made their job more difficult.

I know a lot of them just try to stay away from it.

And I get it.

You know, it's I get it.

You're walking into a town and you don't know who's in the room and you just want to make people laugh.

And you're not necessarily on a crusade.

And I get it.

And I don't think any of those guys should be required to speak.

speak the way I do or the way Stephen Colbert does or Jon Stewart does.
