Jimmy Kimmel LIVE Changes Times, Will Capture More Late Night Viewers with His “Family Business” and Fresh Entertainment

Jimmy Kimmel

If you’re asleep by midnight, then you’ve missed one of the best kept secrets of Late Night TV, Jimmy Kimmel. We’re happy to tell you that times have changed. That’s right, he’ll be on earlier in a new time slot starting January 8th at 11:35 PM.

Like other late night shows, “Jimmy Kimmel Live” has celebrity guests, comedy skits and live music but is also in the “family business” yes, that’s right, Jimmy employs some of his family including his cousin Sal, his parents and Aunt Chippy. Jimmy’s also got his childhood best friend, Cleto Escobedo, as the bandleader, with Cleto’s dad on saxophone.

Meet Aunt Chippy

Our Interview with Jimmy

We got to chat with Jimmy about his upcoming new time change and here are some of the questions we asked:

Operator: Your next question comes from Stephanie Piche from Red Carpet Report.

Stephanie Piche: Hey, Jimmy. How are you?

Jimmy Kimmel: Good, how you doing?

Stephanie Piche: Good. Everyone ahead of me today asked all my prepped questions–

Jimmy Kimmel: OK.

Stephanie Piche: – so I’m going to ask – well, actually, one of my staff said to ask, because I was ran out of questions, “if your new show time doesn’t work, are you going to move to a podcast?”

Jimmy Kimmel: Let’s hope not.

Stephanie Piche: No? (kidding / laugher) –

Jimmy Kimmel: But I won’t rule anything out.

Stephanie Piche: Perfect. How long do you see you doing your show for? Are you going to be a lifer?

Jimmy Kimmel: No, I’m not going to be one of those guys that they have to drag off the stage. I mean, I look at it now and I think, you know, if we were lucky enough to be able to do another 10 years, I would be very happy with that. But with that said, you never know. You get there, I mean, and there seems to be some addiction that takes hold and people are unwilling to give these jobs up. But, you know, sometimes I do think about being able to just relax and read the sports page in its entirety again.

Stephanie Piche: Great. OK. And is there someone who you look forward to interviewing that you haven’t done so yet?

Jimmy Kimmel: Oh, there’s a lot of people. I mean, but at the top of my list probably Bill Murray, Steve Martin, these are guys that, you know, I’ve admired for a long time and who are great talk-show guests who’ve never been to the show. So, I – if I had to name two, that would be them.

Stephanie Piche: Well, maybe Bill will with “Ghost Busters” coming around again.

Jimmy Kimmel: Yes, we’ll see.

Stephanie Piche: OK, good luck.

Jimmy Kimmel: All right. Thanks, (Stephanie).

We really liked being part of the press talking to Jimmy, he was very genuine and really listened and gave good answers to the tough questions about Late Night Talk Show host feuds… you can google that stuff – we like to stick to the positive and tell you that we recommend “Jimmy Kimmel Live” and now that the show is on at 11:35 pm starting the 8th of January, you can tune in to some fresh comedy and entertainment like we will be doing.

Don’t Forget – New Time for Jimmy Kimmel Live 11:35|10:35c on Jan. 8

Justin Bieber Unveils the mRobo Ultra Bass Portable Speaker at CES 2012

Who would you want to help you launch your new “transforming” robot into speaker system other than the #1 Pop Star – Justin Bieber! Justin was at the TOSY Robotics booth at CES 2012 in Las Vegas today and something tells me he gets to take one home with him… watch as this new mRobo Ultra Bass Portable Speaker was unveiled today.

TOSY Robotics JSC®, a leading robotics and high-tech toys manufacturer based in Vietnam, today unveiled mRobo Ultra Bass™, a state-of-the-art portable speaker that doubles as a dancing robot.  Boasting two gigabytes of internal memory, the battery powered mRobo allows users to upload about 500 songs into the device via a USB port and select which tracks to play using a provided remote. The music will play through an integrated speaker, with the ability to produce bass at 40Hz. Once the music begins playing, mRobo, which can listen to its own music, music from other devices, or music streamed via Bluetooth, will instantly transform, growing a head, legs and arms, and will groove through a series of pre-programmed dance moves to virtually any genre of music.

Justin Bieber TOSY Robot Unveiling

Its capacity to transform back into a speaker makes mRobo completely portable and ideal for the consumer on the go. As a speaker, mRobo weighs approximately 3.3 pounds and measures 4.3 inches (W) x 6.3 inches (L) x 7.9 inches (H), and stands at just under 18 inches when it transforms into a robot. The battery operated mRobo uses software to analyze music for beats and rhythms to which it responds with corresponding moves.

Justin Bieber TOSY Robot Unveiling

mRobo Ultra Bass is expected to retail for $199.00 (USD) and launch in the fall of 2012. For additional information regarding mRobo and the full line of TOSY robotics, please visit www.tosy.com for more info.
