ABC shared some unwelcome news about Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Monday. The late-night TV show's audience is in for a long week, beginning tonight, May 12.

Tina Fey's writing proves she can find the absurd and hilarious in just about anything. That kind of attention to detail can lead to some obsessive behaviors, which may explain why the Saturday Night Liveicon is hooked on very specific TikTok videos.
