Jimmy Kimmel, Brooklyn native, Nets fan and noted Roberta’s patron, is planning to schlep his weeknight talk show from LA to Brooklyn for a week at BAM later this month. And like a lot of studio audience shows, tickets are free, if you can get them. To get into the BAM shows from Oct. 29-Nov. 2, request tickets through this site and you must also “send Guillermo a personal email telling him WHY you should be a part of our studio audience in Brooklyn, NY,” a request that encourages you to be “creative, specific and enthusiastic.” [via FiPS]

Dear Guillermo & Jimmy,
By way of this poetic submission, I hope to
fulfill the three qualifications you have specified
to be a strong contender to receive tickets for your
Brooklyn concert. Hopefully, my Halloween poem
will illustrate my creativity and my genuine
fondness for you and your hilarious program.
My enthusiasm for the possibility of seeing
you and your wonderful guests in person is
beyond reproach. I never miss your show and
would feel privileged to attend your concert in
Brooklyn.
I specifically love watching your show when
your guest is Don Rickles. Not only is he hilarious
each time he appears, I specifically enjoy the
conspicuous joy that radiates from you as you
interact with your comedy hero and mentor. Your
unfiltered responses to his comic genius is a
viewing pleasure within itself. I love your genuine
display of reverence and appreciation for this
comedy legend. You are a true mensch, and I
would feel very lucky and honored to be a part
of your special night.
Thank you for your consideration
of my application, Al Lansburg
A Halloween Tribute Poem for
“Jimmy the Jokester”
Hey, “Jimmy the Jokester”
Are the villagers at your door
With fiery torches in hand
‘Cause your monologues they adore
They clamor for your witchy wit
Your “biting” vampire verse
The midnight moon shines upon you
Just like the Wolfman’s curse
Dracula says that your jokes don’t “suck”
When you take your pen to hand
You bring his blood to a boil
Claims you’re the best comic in the land!
You may miss your Mummy
But the Mummy never misses your verse
To miss one of your clever stand-ups
Would be more tragic than “The Mummy’s Curse”
Frankenstein says “Fire Bad!”
But, “Jimmy’s comedy good!”
You “piece together” great material
Just like a Mad Scientist would!
The Wolfman searches the internet woods
Looking for tasty humor to bite
But is never satisfied unless…
It’s a funny story that you write!
You even amuse the scariest ghosts
With the stories that you create
A flesh-eating Zombie once said:
They’re better than the finest brain I ever ate!
So go treat yourself to a great monologue
“Jimmy the Jokester” has some tricks up his sleeve
If you thought Halloween humor was impossible
Look at what Jimmy Kimmel can conceive!
Happy Halloween from Al Lansburg
