Jimmy Kimmel's on the mend

Can only imagine the TLC Jimmy Kimmel is receiving from g.f. Sarah Silverman after undergoing an emergency appendectomy on Wednesday, per the AP. Kimmel's mouthpiece Lewis Kay says the whole thing was over and done with in 18 hours and that he's expected back on the show on Tuesday. Repeats 'til then. I was hoping for a quip about exploding organs or something delivered via Kay but sadly, no, or at least not yet.

(At left is the goofiest picture I could find on the ABC press site from a "Jimmy Kimmel Live" seg last week. Have no idea what these hunks of Marine-dom were doing on the show -- I'm guessing it was a band perf? All the caption tells me is that it's Sgt. Major Neil O'Connell and Staff Sgt. Timothy Dutton flanking Jimmy when he still had his appendix.)
