Jimmy Kimmel Uses Webcam to Record Show After Power Outage

Jimmy Kimmel films during power outage

If looks a little shakier than usual tonight, don’t try adjusting your sets.

When a last-minute power outage threatened to derail Monday’s taping of his program, Jimmy Kimmel did what any other comedian would do: improvise.

Thankfully, Jimmy’s guests - The Green Hornet‘s and Wipeout‘s John Henson - were both game for the experiment. Singer Dierks Bentley even put on an acoustic performance.
