Two words, faithful droves:

PROJECT SHIMMY/JIMMY

Project Shimmy/Jimmy is The Shimmy’s ambitious mission to do what every comedy writer aspires to do: guest-write for Jimmy Kimmel Live!!

The weeknightly monologue Jimmy Kimmel delivers is comedy at its most immediate, most raw, and most intriguing. You may not be aware of this, but because the jokes are usually inspired by current events, Jimmy’s writers often write the monologue material THE VERY NIGHT JIMMY DELIVERS IT! Talk about instant gratification1

The staff at The Shimmy would like a crack at this prestigious task, and that’s why we’ve worked so hard to promote The Shimmy name. Now that we’re rising stars, we plan to use social networking to gain exposure that Kimmel and crew simply cannot overlook. The best part is, we’re going to let you help.

For the next few weeks, we’ll be tweeting jokes that we think would be perfect for Jimmy’s monologue. They’ll be tagged with #pleasejimmy, a hashtag that is sure to become an instant internet meme. If you think that the joke is up to Jimmy Kimmel Live! caliber, kindly retweet it to your followers. You can also talk about Project Shimmy/Jimmy on Facebook or Friendster!

It’s a big dream, but people like you can make it happen. Thank you in advance for making Project Shimmy/Jimmy a rousing success.

With feigned humility,

The Shimmy Staff
