Fun on a Friday: Even Jimmy Kimmel knows this Broadway rule.

Rule #1 of Broadway Producing:  Never put your own money in the show.

Rule #2 of Broadway Producing:  Always try and put Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick together on stage.

Jimmy Kimmel was the perfect Broadway Producer earlier this week when he reunited my It’s Only A Play stars to reprise their Producers characters for the skit below.  This time, instead of trying to make money by producing the worst show on the planet, the comic duo of Lane/Broderick try to make money by running the campaign for the worst presidential candidate on the planet.

I’ll let you guess who that is.

Happy Friday!
