The ESPN personality has his eyes on another show.
Stephen A. Smith has become one of the primary voices on ESPN, but the talking head has his eyes on a bigger job.
While appearing on Fox News with Sean Hannity, Smith said he would like to take over for Jimmy Kimmel doing late night TV.
I am interested in doing late night, Smith said. I would love to be the heir apparent to Jimmy Kimmel. I believe I could do it. I would throw everybody for a loop, my politics would throw people off because Id be fair to everybody and Id listen to everybody. It wouldnt be one-sided, Im not a one-sided kind of guy. Im one-sided on issues, Im not one-sided on ideology.
Kimmel currently hosts Jimmy Kimmel Live! on ABC, which is one of the five primary late night shows on TV. Smith argued that late night television has gotten very left-leaning, and he would provide a show that is right down the middle and, as a result, more fair.
It should be a problem because the reality of the situation is theres more than 350 million Americans in this country and at least 170-180 million think conservatively like Sean Hannity, OK? We understand that, and whether you like it or not, thats their reality, he said.

(9,629 posts)I remember when the Milwaukee Bucks went to the NBA finals, he was whining because it would be in Milwaukee, which apparently doesn't have the weather or luxury accomodations that he thinks he deserves. Elitist POS in my mind.
Much rather watch the TNT guys, even though Barkley sometimes says things I disagree with.

(23,114 posts)I watched him the other night and was not impressed. I ask my husband who knows him from ESPN if he was a good guy or jerk he said he was ok. But I sensed a smarminess about him that annoyed me.
