Representatives for Kimmel in Los Angeles and West in New York didn't immediately respond to requests for comment made early Friday, outside of business hours. In a tweet Kimmel posted before the show, he said West's attack was "not a prank, I promise," unless West was playing one on him. Kimmel has done his share of high-concept comedy, including a show in which Matt Damon tied him up onstage and took over as host. West is known for his outbursts, not his humor. The incident capped a big week for "Jimmy Kimmel Live," with shows including Hollywood street concerts with Paul McCartney and Justin Timberlake. ___ Online:
