but wouldn't have won the day.

The jokes were for the most part, weak and vaguely unfunny and, well, amateurish. It reminded me of once seeing George Carlin try out some new stuff after a performance which I attended...most went flat and he literally threw out the cards. it shows you how much work goes into a successful act...Kimmel didn't have it tonight.
