'Men,' Kimmel simpered in his 'Woman Show' persona, 'can't live with 'em, can't get a credit card without 'em.' The problem was, they often seemed out of touch with reality. Still, much of Kimmel's sensibility is simply unintelligible to women, although I have to admit I laughed at Connie the Craft Lady's party hats for cats routine on 'The Man Show.' The last time I watched 'The Man Show' was a couple of years ago, when they did a special called 'The Woman Show,' which imagined Kimmel and Carolla trying to get in touch with their feminine side. He's been married 14 years, for one thing, and has two children, unlike the eternal bachelor and model-escorter Maher. Unlike Bill Maher - whose slot he's taking over at ABC now that 'Politically Incorrect' has been cancelled - Kimmel is probably not a misogynist in real life. But a little of Kimmel and his antics goes a long way. I've also been known to smile, however slightly, at Curly. 'Watch a Jerry Lewis movie on TV,' a (male) director friend instructed me once, 'and I defy you not to laugh.' And I admit I did the other day, happening upon Jerry screaming 'L-a-a-a-d-y!' in 'Who's Minding the Store?' Now a taste for Jimmy Kimmel and his humor might be one of those mysterious gender divides, like an appreciation for fake dog poop or the Three Stooges or Jerry Lewis. The concept is simple (and I suppose rather inspired, in a vulgar, sophomoric way): real crank calls by comic actors - Kimmel and friends - acted out by Muppet-like puppets. Like 'The Man Show,' 'Crank Yankers,' which premiered Sunday night on Comedy Central, is the brainchild of Jimmy Kimmel, Adam Carolla and Daniel Kellison. LOS ANGELES, June 5 (UPI) - To those who thought that Comedy Central's 'The Man Show' signaled the end of civilization as we know it, I have just question: Have you seen 'Crank Yankers?'
