The Time-Zone Tightrope Walk: East Coast Woes, West Coast Wins
Let's face it, those poor souls on the East Coast have it rough. Jimmy Kimmel Live! films in Los Angeles, which means by the time Kimmel cracks his first joke, they're practically tucking in their grandma. But fret no more, California peeps! Because for us blessed with Pacific Standard Time, the answer is both simple and delightful:
The Golden Hour (or Rather, the Kimmel Hour): 11:35 PM PST
There you have it, folks. Mark your calendars, set your DVRs, and prepare for a nightly dose of laughter precisely at 11:35 PM PST.
But Wait, There's More!
Now, some of you might be thinking, "Isn't there a chance the show could be pre-recorded? Do I need to factor in time travel?" The answer, my friend, is both yes and no. Here's the Hollywood scoop:
-
Technically a Late-Night Show, Not Actually Live (Usually) Fun fact: Despite the "Live!" in the title, Kimmel Kimmel Live! isn't actually filmed live...most of the time. Back in the day, there might have been some, shall we say, technical difficulties with live broadcasts (cough, cough, uncensored swearing, cough). So, the show is typically pre-recorded at a much more reasonable hour, around 5 PM PST.
-
Live Shows? They Happen, But Rarely There are occasional exceptions, with Kimmel venturing into the live show arena for special events. But for the most part, you can enjoy your Jimmy fix comfortably ensconced in your PJs, knowing you're not missing out on some groundbreaking late-night television revolution.
So there you have it, the West Coast's official guide to Jimmy Kimmel time! Now go forth, laugh liberally, and remember, Kimmel starts at 11:35 PM PST, folks. Unless, of course, he decides to pull a fast one and go rogue with a live show. But hey, that's just the magic of Hollywood, right?
