( RollingStone.com ) -- In the new issue of Rolling Stone , Contributing Editor Jonah Weiner smokes weed with Jimmy Kimmel and chats with the late-night host about his promotion to the coveted 11:30 p.m. time slot , his undying hatred of Jay Leno and why he sees Jimmy Fallon as a `` worthy competitor . '' Here 's an excerpt from the latest cover story , `` Here 's Jimmy '' : . Photos : A history of comedy stars on the cover of Rolling Stone . In 24 hours , Jimmy Kimmel will stand up in his office at the El Capitan theatre in Hollywood , looking less like a talk-show host and more , to use his words , like `` a hobo . '' He 'll be wearing baggy mesh Dodgers shorts , a rumpled old Coca-Cola T-shirt and no shoes ; his hair will stick out in three directions . As he leaves his desk , where he 's been refining jokes since the morning , his transformation into late-night star will begin . After a quick haircut , he 'll carry his MacBook to the makeup room , where he 'll put the finishing touches on his monologue while a woman named Stephanie puts the finishing touches on his face : powdering his skin , shaping his eyebrows , blackening his hair where it 's a bit too gray or a bit too thin for HD . The 25 funniest people on Twitter . In his private bathroom , he 'll change into a crisp white shirt , a colorful Prada tie and slim blue Gucci pants . His wardrobe guy will bring the matching jacket , steamed and lint-rolled and bearing a sticker on its lining that says ABC ASSET above a bar code marking it as network property . `` I 've got the same bar code tattooed on me , '' Kimmel will joke . `` It used to say ABC LIABILITY , but they changed it when the ratings got good . '' As he makes his way downstairs -- where a 200-strong crowd is waiting for that night 's episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live ! to start -- a group of writers , producers and crew will fist-bump Kimmel and chant , as they do before every episode , `` Best show ever ! Best show ever ! '' His band will launch into an ecstatic fanfare and Kimmel will stroll out , hit his electrical-taped mark , and fix his eyes on the teleprompter as the audience roars its welcome : showtime . Rolling Stone cover story : Jimm Fallon 's big adventure . But that 's not for 24 hours . Right now it 's Sunday night , Kimmel is at his beach house , and he wants to get high . `` If we smoke weed right now , '' he asks , `` is that on the record ? '' Kimmel is sitting at a weathered wooden table in his dining room . Blinky and unshaven , hair tousled , he looks like he just woke up from a phenomenal nap . Kimmel 's fiancee , Live ! co-head writer Molly McNearney , is in the kitchen , drinking fruit punch and tapping on her phone . `` I do n't know if I want this in the story , '' Kimmel , 45 , says , padding off to retrieve his stash . `` My kids are gon na read this . . . . '' He returns with a vacuum-sealed baggie bulging with buds the size of baby Brussels sprouts . See original story at RollingStone.com . Copyright © 2011 Rolling Stone .
