We almost ran out of time for Matt Damon

The 2008 American Music Awards will be held Sunday, Nov. 23, and Jimmy Kimmel will once again host the event. (It is his fifth time.)

The show will begin at 7 p.m. Mountain time on ABC. It will be quite the entertainment weekend for SLC, considering Celine Dion performs here that Friday and Coldplay will be here Saturday.

Performers at the event with include Pink and the Jonas Brothers.

Also, for the second time in AMA history, winners will be determined by online voting at amc.abc.com Votes can be registered between Oct. 14 to Nov. 7. By the way, no offense to the general public, but I hate it when people like myself get to vote for award winners. I prefer the Oscars and the Emmys to the People's Choice Awards, because with the first two, I believe experts give better opinions than people like me and you, and they reward greatness, not popularity. Who remembers Oscar winners? Everyone. Who remembers People's Choice Award winners? No one.

I'll still vote, though.

I was going to post a clip from Jimmy's past stint at the AMA"S, but I thought this was one was funnier:

David Burger is the pop music/pop culture writer at The Salt Lake Tribune. He's been at several newspapers, including Scranton, Pennsylvania, the home of "The Office." Before that, he spent five years in the Coast Guard. There, on boring midnight watches on the bridge, he would try to keep himself awake and/or keep from throwing up by singing "Thunder Road" to himself while balancing a sextant on his nose. (He'd also look for drowning people, of course.) He also likes condiments, except when throwing up.
