Jimmy Kimmel.
Are you doing?
It’s OK and you.
I'm prepared for the storm.
Are you sure? All right.
I'm part of the extreme weather team.
How do you like it? We're reporting alive from Time Square this morning.
Poor Sam, stuck out at this big stick around him, I mean, it's ridiculous.
I say I want this.
I can't figure out whether this is the best day of his life or the worst day of his life.
Well, let's ask him about six hours.
OK.
So all week long, Jimmy Kimmel Live from Brooklyn are homecoming.
Yeah.
About the rain with you.
Yeah, I know I don't know what, you know, we've been planning for this for alike 8 months, and we've never really thought maybe there would be a hurricane coming shortly.
A storm in the century.
And it's terrible because supposedly the storm is gonna hit exactly as I step on stage.
Well, lets' see, so you're taping at 7 o'clock tonight?
Yeah.
That is, that is peak period.
And you know Kelly Ripa is the guest, she's very small, she can easily fly away. We're gonna have to anchor her down to something.
So what else are you doing with just the storm?
Just panic in general, they say the best thing you can do, the only thing you can do really is panic, and also we moved, went down to Home
Depot1 and bought a
generator2.
Couple of flashlights maybe?
Yeah, You know, I don't know what we're gonna do, I hold down over anybody will show up to see the show tonight, I'm having in my head that, you know, people are counting on to see the show.
If you build it.
We gave them tickets, they rolled in, they wanted to see the show and now I have a feeling I'm gonna go there tonight, there'll be 4 people, and those 4 people will be my parents.
Now this is Brooklyn, this is not quite the evacuation so.
No.
If you have some chance that people are gonna to show up?
It’s been some great guest lined up this week, not only Kelly Ripa, David Letterman, a lifelong dream.
That is a lifelong dream for me, somebody, it's David Letterman since I was a kid, I used to write Late Night with David Letterman on very book cover, with my
license3 plate when I had my first car, said Late Night, my birthday cake when I was 18 years old said Late Night, I was
obsessed4 with David Letterman. And I'm going to
stalk5 and terrify him.
He's only said no before, but this time he's gonna do it.
Yeah, well, he said he was gonna do it, now he has a great excuse, I mean, really, what better excuse than a hurricane to not do the show?
The plan is pretty good, and what's it like to have come home, I heard you went back to your old house?
I did go back to the house I grew up in Mill Basin, and it's, you know, like anything when you go visit it, it's very small and the people.
Oh, look at that picture.
That's me, my mother used to dress me like a little fancy like.
Well it's very fancy.
My niece that's.
Probably I don't look any less stupid now. I realize, let me take off mine that's how I'm not stupid now in Brooklyn.
The boy out of Brooklyn by.
I went visited the family that lives there, and they made me a dinner, it was a lot of fun.
Oh, so we're gonna to see some of that?
Yeah, we're gonna to show that on the show house.
Well, we may not see any of it, to be honest.
Oh, come on.
We're emptied by this hurricane. Curse you Sandy, well, I'm gonna to find the Sandy, I swear to God.
But you’re gonna to take them for not matter what.
We have, I think, well, not no matter what, I mean, if we're ordered by the police not to take the show, we probably won't do it.
OK, you now got crapped, the Mayor Bloomberg.
Sure of that, I'm planning to be there, I don't know if anyone else will be there, but I will be there.
Show must go on.
That's right. Looking at what happened.
What happened to Broadway, what happens, the show must go on,
cowards7, all of them.
Thanks, lovely Kimmel in this morning. We've got "Jimmy Kimmel Live" weeknights at 12|11c here on ABC.
