“No one at ABC expected Roseanne to be a big hit, but to be honest, we don’t expect any of our shows to be a hit," said Kimmel in his upfront return after taking last year off due to his son Billy's illness. Kimmel also joked about ABC having the only unsuccessful Marvel series with Inhumans. He also mocked ABC's new shows: “We’re also picking up a show called Whiskey Cavalier, and it’s exciting," he said. "It took a while, but we finally came up with a worse title than Cougar Town … Should we cancel it now or wait until you leave the room?” ALSO: Ranking Kimmel's 35 funniest upfront jokes.
