College of Communication junior Eden Kasle was the envy of all his friends on Thursday night, sitting next to and trading jokes with late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live.

Kasle, a television major, said he was placed as an intern on the show this semester through BU’s Los Angeles Internship Program.

Kasle shared the screen with Kimmel from the show’s opening, when the two walked side by side into El Capitan Theater on Hollywood Boulevard.

“I got a call around 2 p.m. from the producers and they said, ‘You’re going to be shadowing Jimmy the whole night,'” Kasle said in a phone interview minutes after the show went off the air.

Kimmel welcomed Kasle to the show, saying he too was once an intern and enjoys giving interns on his show these kinds of opportunities.

After the first commercial break, Kasle wore a pink tank top that said “I’m a prissy uptight prude” for the rest of the hour. The tank top was part of a joke mocking HBO’s “Sex and the City.”

Kimmel’s first guest, Bonnie Hunt, the star of ABC’s “Life with Bonnie,” said during the show that she thought Kasle was cute and “was reminded of school picture day” when she first saw the BU student, whose red polo shirt was tucked into his acid-wash jeans.

“You don’t even process what’s going on when it’s happening,” Kasle said. “You just move from segment to segment and hope it turns out all right.”
