Celebuzz Jimmy Kimmel Spoofs 'Downton Abbey,' 'Game of Thrones,' 2 More Emmy-Nominated Shows (PHOTOS) http://www.celebuzz.com/2012-09-06/jimmy-kimmel-spoofs-downton-abbey-game-of-thrones-2-more-emmy-nominated-shows-photos/ Sep 6th 2012, 23:39 Jimmy Kimmel likes to play dress up. For the new Emmys Preview issue of TV Guide, the comedian and late night talk show host hilariously transformed himself into the Dowager Countess of Downton Abbey, Emilia Clarke's Khalessi from Game of Thrones, Mad Men's Don Draper and meth man Walter White from Breaking Bad. "Now I know why they need a butler to help them with their clothes in Downton Abbey," Kimmel, 44, says. "As for Khaleesi – I look more like a member of Poison than Khaleesi. I do feel like Walter White. I kinda look like him. It's amazing what a little glue and hair from some unidentified animal will do." In the magazine, Kimmel also talks about hosting the big show, his new time slot and his unlikely inspiration of Oprah Winfrey. So what is the comedian's goal for the Emmys? "I know it's a miserable show to sit through if you're in the audience and sometimes it can be miserable to sit through if you're at home," he admitted. "My goal is to make the show funny from beginning to end. I'm going to do as much as I can to make that happen." jimmy kimmel and jimmy fallon take it to the ground at the emmys 7 Photos » Not only is Kimmel taking on hosting duties this year but his show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, is also up for its first nomination in Original Variety Series.
