Well I asked the question about why the hate for Jimmy and boy did I get some answers LOL.
Seems the majority are not fans, I guess the general public love him though and lets be honest, you don't get the late night TV slot without having some popularity. Fronting the attraction is not a decision Comcast would have taken lightly either, but I guess his high energy and enthusiasm won through.
I'm not really a fan nor do I dislike him, just playing devil's advocate and trying to earn a little more about Jimmy and the popular culture of my US buddies.
As a side note, thought he was great in the Muppet video above.
