I’m always looking to the next thing. There are always hurdles, whether it’s the White House dinner or hosting charity events or that night’s show: Until they’re over, I worry, then I move right on to the next thing.

There wasn’t much in the way of conversation that went on. Jimmy Kimmel Read Quote
