With the way ABC had been publicizing the three alternate endings of Lost that were airing during Jimmy Kimmel’s special post-finale celebration, you would have been right to assume they were legit. Or, as legit as those alternate season three endings with Sawyer and Desmond in Locke’s coffin were — a red herring to throw off the scent of any leak-happy crew member. Alas, it was all just one final long con. The “alternate endings” — featuring the now-radio silenced duo of Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse — were nothing more than jokes. And not even particularly good ones: Did Kimmel really trot out Bob Newhart for a spoof on the Newhart ending? And Jeff Probst for a Survivor ending? Get worse. Still, anything that puts Jorge Garcia’s Hurley in the Tony Soprano booth at a diner deserves the attention of your eyeballs. Watch the “endings” after the jump.
