Television’s sweeps season is upon us, and according to LAist, Jimmy Kimmel and ABC plan to take the bus this May:
“In a special episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live” airing TUESDAY, MAY 15, Jimmy hosts an entire show direct from a Santa Monica Big Blue Bus, picking up guests along the bus route. Scheduled to appear throughout the May sweep is an all-star lineup that includes Cameron Diaz, Geoffrey Rush, Danica Patrick, Carmen Electra, Evangeline Lily, Sarah Silverman, David Spade, Garry Marshall, and the latest eliminated celebrities from “Dancing with the Stars,” as well as performances by Ozzy Osbourne, Kelly Clarkson, Avril Lavigne, Linkin Park, Macy Gray, Alexa Ray Joel, Kaiser Chiefs, The Used and The Bravery.”
Sounds like fun, and a good way to introduce America (and probably a lot of the celebrity guests) to L.A.’s public transit system. I wonder if it will pick up riders as audience members too?

Would have been a lot more interesting if he hosted it on a Red Line car, starting at North Hollywood, going to Union Station, then back again. That would probably fill up an hour, it’s about 30 minutes each way. Much cooler than a bus ride, but then, I guess that they wouldn’t have been able to broadcast it live from below ground. I guess they’d have to pre-tape that one. Maybe they could stop, get off and look at some of the art installations. Nah, that’s too Huell Howser ish.
I have a feeling the Red Line would be a little bit too legitimate and not enough potential for hilarious bus jokes.
also, the train already has a good rep, its the buses that people are “horrified” of and would need such a PR stunt.
