Tonight's Jimmy Kimmel Live is a repeat from Tuesday

Jimmy Kimmel I would put this in the "What the f***?" category.

Tonight's Jimmy Kimmel Live on ABC is a repeat...from this past Tuesday. That's right, they're dipping waaaay back into the archives, because fans have been asking for it. The guests are/were Hilary Swank, Hilary Duff, and Dancing with the Stars castoff Shandi Finnessey.

Now, OK, I understand that the show probably has to be a repeat, because Kimmel is sitting in for Larry King tonight on CNN at 9 (though I wonder if it's live or taped or what's going on with that), but do they have to air a repeat from three nights ago? Seriously, that's just bizarre to me.

It's keeping with what all the late night shows do now, from Letterman to Carson Daly. When they show repeats they're always fairly recent. But they're usually from 2, 4, 6 weeks ago, not 3 days.

I really wish those talk shows would rerun episodes from waaay back. The plugs may not be important anymore, but how interesting it would be to see stars promote some flop or see them before they got famous.

It's not bizarre, it's insulting. "Oh, no one will notice...it'll get the same amount of viewers, etc" Which reflects the intellegence of the average Jimmy Kimmel viewer.

Jimmy had repeats for several months on Mondays. I can't remember when he did a full week of Shows. It seems that people want to do what Stern is doing by having a 4 day work week. Regis didn't work on Fridays until he had heart surgery. Kimmel really needs to get his act together or something.
