Arts Kondabolu on Kimmel
posted by on February 16 at 10:14 AM
Hari Kondabolu—standup comedian, regular at Laffhole, scene queen, and all-around sweetheart—will be on the Jimmy Kimmel show this Monday. They called him yesterday, will fly him down on Sunday, and he’ll be back to work on Tuesday.
The most exciting thing? William Shatner will also be on the show. Hari Kondabolu will share a green room with the Shat.
Wow.
The second most exciting thing? “It all happened from here. From Seattle, where I have a great job and do comedy on the side.”
It happened, apparently, because of an audition tape that Kondabolu has been sending around, trying to get into national comedy festivals. Somebody handed it to somebody who handed it to somebody who books the Jimmy Kimmel show. Badabing, badaboom.
Congratulations on the gig, condolences for having to look on Mr. Man Show without protective goggles.
Why the cheap shot at Jimmy Kimmel?
Kimmel's show isn't that bad and he's been booking solid comedians for sometime.
Do you see Leno or Letterman inviting Zach Galifynakis on? Or inviting Zach's "brother" the closeted high school football coach on?
I think not.
No one deserves it more. Congrats, Hari!
Cheap shots at Jimmy Kimmel are always welcome. The guy must have something going for him, though -- I mean, Sarah Silverman? Zowie.
Scene Queen? I barely even know her...
And incidentally, congrats as well.
I like Kimmel's show. He's much funnier than Letterman. But he's on at the same time as TDS, so...
Except for Stephen Colbert, Jaime Pressly, and Dina Martina, no one's ever as consistently funny as I want them to be, including, very much so, Jimmy Kimmell.
I've only seen Hari Kondabolu perform once, but he totally cracked me up, which puts him in that rare class of comedians who have cracked me up 100 percent of the time.
