LATE NIGHT COMEDY HOST RUSHED TO HOSPITAL IN ON-AIR MEDICAL SCARE: During a live interview on ABC TV Wednesday night, the face of Jimmy Kimmel began to swell, his voice went raspy, and his eyes subsequently closed shut.

Jimmy's voice was raspy the whole show last night, but I didn't think I saw his face or eyes swelling...

Kevin -- you could see it on the close-ups. His face was really puffy and he made a few allusions to feeling like his head was gonna explode. By the way, I just checked jimmykimmel.net ('cause apparently ABC didn't care enough to even consider it newsworthy), and they have a quote from Jimmy saying he had a reaction from taking too many advil and that he's fine now.

Of course Drew would probably say its been distorted, and that Jimmy was at death's door, barely made it through, etc.

If you have it on tivo, you can definitely see a huge difference between when he does his opening intro/monologue, and then when he does his outro his eyes are practically swollen shut.

He was saying something about being at his daughter's science fair, and it sounded like she had something that had to do with beta fish. Maybe something went down there!

Does this mean he did not finish his show? I was watching it for awhile and he sounded sick but it was another boring show so I tuned to another channel.

No he finished it but when he did his outro his eyes were swollen shut and he sounded worse...And it looked like they were gonna get him out of there quick.

I didn't watch last night's show to find out the aftermath, though. Whats up with Mason Jar's post? Haha

A funny quote from E! News Online:

"The label on an Advil bottle warns a person suffering an allergic reaction to "seek medical help right away." Kimmel said he soldiered on with his show because he didn't want to let down the "literally dozens of people across the country" who tune in each night."
