Jimmy Kimmel worked without a net at the American Music Awards. The late-night comic ad-libbed most of his way through hosting Sunday's live three-hour show because of the strike by Hollywood writers.

The ABC telecast's basic script was written before the strike, entering its third week Monday, but there were no writers offstage to provide Kimmel with his trademark quips about current events.

"This is going to be a little bit loose tonight because I'm a member of the Writers Guild and we're on strike," Kimmel said in his opening remarks.

The best thing about Jimmy Kimmel is Sarah Silverman.

Kimmel doing the show at all, he should be shunned from the entertainment world for betraying the writers strike

Jimmy K did a great job working unscripted. Comedians should be funny without writers, or they're in the wrong business.
