Jimmy Kimmel has spoken out about his fellow late night show hosts in a new interview with Rolling Stone Magazine. Although Kimmel is known as one of the best in late night, he admits to openly disliking what some of his fellow hosts have done, but he also admits to respecting a few of them.

When discussing Jay Leno and the whole ‘Late Night’ fiasco, he says, “As a comedian, you can’t not have disdain for what he’s done. He totally sold out.

When discussing Jimmy Fallon, he mentions that ‘he’s a worthy competitor’. Indeed, both Kimmel and Fallon are often compared in terms of humor, the quality of their shows, and the star power of the guests they pull in.
