First Clip from Tom Hanks’ LARRY CROWNE; Plus Hanks Spoofs TODDLERS & TIARAS

Tom Hanks was guest on Jimmy Kimmel’s post-Oscar show last night and he brought along the first clip from his new film Larry Crowne.  The story centers on a laid-off middle-aged man (Hanks) who goes back to college and strikes up a relationship with one of his professors (Julia Roberts).  Larry Crowne is the first film Hanks has directed since 1996′s That Thing You Do, and he co-wrote the script with Nia Vardalos (My Big Fat Greek Wedding).  The clip looks charming and he almost always succeeds when it comes to light-hearted fare.

Hanks also did a fun spoof of the TLC’s horrific Toddlers & Tiaras, a show which attempts to capture the elusive pedophile/abusive parent demographic.  Hit the jump to check out the clip from Larry Crowne and Hanks’ Toddlers & Tiaras spoof.  Larry Crowne opens July 1st.

Watch Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Alba, and Other Actresses Hump HoBo Balls on JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE; Plus Trailer for THE PRESIDENT’S SPEECH Starring Mike Tyson

As he does every year following the Oscars, Jimmy Kimmel had some star-studded sketches for his post-Oscar episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live.  While this year wasn’t quite as good as the Handsome Men’s Club, it’s tough to argue with watching gorgeous actresses like Scarlett Johansson and Sofia Vergara engage in a new work-out regimen called “Humpilates”.  Basically, Kimmel and his writers found an excuse to have some of Hollywood’s most beautiful actresses hump exercise balls bearing the word “hobo”.  I have no problem with that.

Kimmel also ran a fake trailer for an American adaptation of The King’s Speech called The President’s Speech, where Sir Mike Tyson helps George W. Bush overcome his constant verbal gaffes.  Hit the jump to check out both sketches.

Robert Downey Jr. was on Jimmy Kimmel last night to introduce the new Iron Man 2 trailer and talk about the film.  While we posted the amazing second trailer last night, I figured you might want to see what he had to say about filming the movie.  Also, he came out in full Tony Stark mode with a women on each arm.  Regarding the film, in the second video Downey Jr. talks about how method Mickey Rourke was on the set and how Jon Favreau would hold pictures of some of his pets that have died to get him ready before the cameras started to roll.  Hit the jump to check it out:

Damon Lindelof & Carlton Cuse Talk About the LOST Premiere on Jimmy Kimmel

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: February 3rd, 2010 at 9:23 am

Lost co-creators and showrunners Damon Lindelof & Carlton Cuse were on Jimmy Kimmel last night and they talked about the season premiere.  What’s interesting is while they are usually quite guarded about anything to do with the show, Kimmel was able to ask about the premiere and what was “a coincidence” and what was “not a coincidence”.  Since many of you have not seen the premiere…I’ll say more after the jump:

Jimmy Kimmel Brings the Pain on The Jay Leno Show; “I’m with Coco” Holds Rally for Conan O’Brien

by Matt Currie    Posted: January 15th, 2010 at 10:11 pm

Jay Leno has taken A LOT of flack from the late-night community for muscling his way back into The Tonight Show and thereby thoroughly screwing Conan O’Brien.  Pretty much the only place he hasn’t been lambasted is The Jay Leno Show…until last night, that is. On Thursday, Leno ill-advisedly decided to interview his ABC counterpart Jimmy Kimmel (who recently did a biting show-long impersonation of him on Jimmy Kimmel Live!) in his “10 at 10″ segment. As you might expect, things got ugly. Armed with nothing but his standard list of softball questions, the once and future Tonight Show host was effectively KO’ed on his feet.

I can understand Leno’s reasons for doing it; he wanted to show that he wasn’t hiding from his critics, maybe exact some modicum of revenge (but, you know, in a safe way that wouldn’t offend anybody). And he thought he’d have the advantage, or at least that things couldn’t get too out-of-hand, given that it was his show and Kimmel would be on the hotseat. Unfortunately for Jay, that really wasn’t the case. Kimmel came to throw down and he unquestionably got the best of every exchange, consistently landing comedic blows on his clearly uncomfortable inquisitor even when the line of questioning turned away from the late-night debacle. At the beginning, it’s satisfying to see him squirm. But, by the end, after watching Jay awkwardly try to deflect the barbs for 5 minutes, you’ll probably just want it to end.

Hit the jump to see Leno get his ass handed to him and to hear what the newly minted Conan cult “I’m with Coco” is doing to voice their displeasure.
