Stephen A. Smith Wants to Take Over for Jimmy Kimmel on Late Night Show

Stephen A. Smith has become one of the primary voices on ESPN, but the talking head has his eyes on a bigger job.

While appearing on Fox News with Sean Hannity, Smith said he would like to take over for Jimmy Kimmel doing late night TV.

“I am interested in doing late night,” Smith said. “I would love to be the heir apparent to Jimmy Kimmel. I believe I could do it. I would throw everybody for a loop, my politics would throw people off because I’d be fair to everybody and I’d listen to everybody.
