Recently, an episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live was filmed on the host’s laptop after a power outage shut down the program’s control room on Monday (June 21st) night.  

A posting on ABC.com Tuesday explained, “An hour before showtime last night, a power outage shut down the Jimmy Kimmel Live control room, broadcast transmission center, and tape operations area. With guests and a studio audience waiting, Jimmy recorded the whole show on his laptop using his computer’s webcam.”

• Show publicist Chelsea Hettrick said that guests Seth Rogen, John Henson and country artist Dierks Bentley were very accommodating in “going with what happened.”

Check out the Museum of Animal Perspectives for EXCELLENT videos of animals from their own perspectives (or close to it)

This is a kookaburra’s nest, with four babies.  A video camera was in a fixed place outside the nest looking in, so as not to obstruct the mama’s access to the babies.  At about 2:30 or so into the video, the mama kookaburra notices the camera and starts giving it the old stink eye.  After a number of suspicious glances, she gets closer to investigate.  GREAT shots of the babies!

Kevin Skinner!  Congratulations, Kevin!  America loves you! The lovely and talented Barbara Padilla came in second, which must have been a terrible disappointment to her, but she handled it with her typical grace and humility.
