I don't watch Kimmel (I'm a Letterman type of guy), but I can tell you two things they did wrong. First and obvious, was the topic. Second, they should have taped it and then after seeing the offensive remark, not run it. They could have changed the topic to something more lighthearted and re-taped it had they done that.

Letterman does a fair amount of pre-taped segments in his show.
