Jon Stewart helps save Jimmy Kimmel's Brooklyn show after a devastating New Yorker rejection
"Since we are here in New York, I thought it would be fun to see if I could get, and maybe you could get, a cartoon published in The New Yorker," Jimmy Kimmel said on Tuesday's Kimmel Live, taped in Brooklyn.
