Kimmel tells Leno that ABC is "a hellhole" - VIDEO

The big question, if Jay Leno does indeed go over to ABC when his contract is up with NBC, is what will happen to Jimmy Kimmel? His show has been increasing in ratings and the late night talk show with the most buzz right now, and even if they were to cancel Nightline (a definite possibility), then Kimmel would still be pushed to 12:35 from his 12:05 start. Maybe 30 minutes isn't a lot when you're talking about the age of the universe, but it's a big leap in late night TV.
Kimmel is aware of this, and besides asking questions at the Television Critics Association press conference (as a member of the media), Kimmel is also trying to convince Leno not to come over to his channel. Last Friday he told Leno that he shouldn't come on over to ABC because it's filled with bees, they pay him in Disney dollars (which you can only spend at the theme parks), and every single day his car is keyed.
Leno calls the rumors of him going to ABC "ridiculous." And by ridiculous he means "I'll do it if I'm bored and they want to pay me a ton of money."
