Unlike the Republican debates, Tuesday night's Democratic face-off in Las Vegas "felt like a slightly uncomfortable night at a book club," Jimmy Kimmel said on Wednesday's Kimmel Live. He had some fun describing the undercard candidates — Jim Webb "looks like an angry stepdad," while Lincoln Chafee "appears to have wandered in accidentally from a bird-watching expedition." But Kimmel's favorite part of the debate was its "very, very Las Vegas" opening credits. See if you can pick out which of the prize fighters in CNN's intro wasn't actually in the debate (and if you want to challenge yourself, also point out which one is Martin O'Malley). Peter Weber
