Helter Skelter



Has anyone yet made a definitive judgement on "Jimmy Kimmel Live?" I've really only seen a few seconds of it here and there, but not one of those seconds was funny. Although maybe it's just that i haven't acclimated myself to the program's structure and style. ...Or maybe it's just bad.

I always thought that Charles Manson should have his own late night talk show. You would have a set with couches and a backdrop, but instead of a desk you would have a large t.v. monitor on which Manson would appear "live via satelite" from the California State Prison. He would probably need a sidekick; and a Beatles cover band for his house band. Of course his monologue would be gibberish, but if with most of his guests he could behave in a manner generally appropriate for a talk show host and say, "let's watch the clip," and "my guest will be appearing at the Comedy Castle," this would make his insane rants that much more entertaining. Of course it would follow Nightline. Can't you hear Ted Koppel saying, "Thanks for joining us. Now stay tuned for Charles Manson Live."
