Laugh Track: Hammering It Home

Actor Chris Pratt was the guest host for ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live” last night and he said of hosting, “There have been some other guest hosts and the way they prepare, they like to do something like staying up all night working on the monologue, they do a bunch of research on their guests. That's not what I did. What I did last night, I flew to Seattle and got hammered at a Seahawks game.” Pratt raised the flag as the “12th Man” for the Seahawks and said, “That was so great. I mean, there was 70,000 people. All I know is the Seahawks won by 14 points, and it's all because of me. So you're welcome, Seattle” (“Jimmy Kimmel Live,” ABC, 12/4).

NBC’s Jimmy Fallon said of the failed attempt to implode the Pontiac Silverdome, “What were they using to blow it up, Diet Coke and Mentos?” (“The Tonight Show,” NBC, 12/4).
