I happen to like Jimmy Kimmel more than the other guys on against him, although I admit to rarely watching any of the late night talk shows. But according to a very short article in the List, Kimmel was working at his first real job at a station in Seattle and got fired after just 10 months. Why? As the story explains:

"I would tape my boss in our meetings and then play them back on the air the next day. I would call his wife just to find things out about his life then repeat them on the air," he revealed.

A sure path to failure. But hilarious? Sounds like it might have been.
