Meh. He had a few good ones, but a lot of bombs. Obama was much funnier.

Kimmel's timing sucked - he rattled off the jokes so fast that it seemed like he was just reading them off cue cards. Maybe he did that to cover up the fact that he wasn't getting a lot of laughs. I did chuckle at Marcus Bachmann's pink slip, though.
Nobody will ever top Stephen Colbert.

editing.
But his content was great.

Like the line about MSNBC being "to the left of Hugo Chavez." Who gave him that joke, Sarah Palin?

more natural, too.
Before I saw Kimmel, when they'd show him when Obama was killing, I thought he looked nervous, like "shit, his stuff is so much better than mine!".

a long string of one liners. A monologue basically. Pretty funny.
