Jimmy Kimmel is about to attempt a hosting feat of Seacrest-ian proportions. From Oct. 22-26, he'll be filling in for Regis on Live with Regis and Kelly in the morning while continuing to host Jimmy Kimmel Live at night. The big catch? Regis and Kelly films in New York, while his talk show films in LA.
The solution: Kimmel will fly cross-country twice a day, preparing for his talk show on the flight west and sleeping a little on the flight east. So, not really the most eco-friendly plan there, nor the most sensible, but I'm guessing it will lead to some wacky antics as Kimmel becomes punchier and more sleep-deprived.
Why wouldn't ABC just move Kimmel's late-night show to New York for the week, a la Conan in San Francisco? Still, I'll admit I'm a little curious to see what this does to Kimmel; maybe he should plan a Morgan Spurlock-style documentary on what five cross-country flights per day does to a person's brain.

I heard that Kimmel didn't want to move the show for the week or whatever time frame it is. I heard that he really wants to prove that he can do this.
1What an idiotic idea! Travelling cross country twice a day? He deserves some killer jet lag.
2Aw man...I do that flight often and it is not fun at all! I can't imagine doing it twice a day...and yet I'm really excited to see him deteriorate in front of our very eyes...hee hee hee.
3boring!
