ABC's "Lost" wrapped up its final season with a finale full of touching moments, and late Sunday night it quickly became all about humor. "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" hosted a special "Aloha to Lost" featuring appearances by the cast, funny moments, and even the expected debate about the ending.
Kimmel started the evening with an interrogation of Matthew Fox, though he really didn't get much out of him outside of the fact that Fox knew the ending to the series for pretty much the entire time it was on the air. He then brought out Michael Emerson and Terry O'Quinn, which brought out some fun material about a future show (which included a joke about them being on "The Amazing Race" together).
Then, we had appearances by some more beloved characters, from Claire to Sayid and even a few more obscure ones (like Charles Widmore and Michael, who really had no role in the finale at all).
Of course, we can't really talk about this special without bringing up the "alternate endings." One involved Sayid and Jeff Probst, and then there was one that was deliberately poking at "The Sopranos" and "Newheart."
All in all, this special probably wouldn't do anything to appease some of the more hardcore fans of the show disappointed by the ending, but as someone who loved every second of the finale the post-show party was just another great way of getting closure.

Comments
I didn't watch the Jimmy Kimmel show when it aired. I watched 'Previously On Lost' a band who recaps episodes live in eclectic song. I watched the Jimmy thing today and POL is way more entertaining that Jimmy could ever be about Lost. It will definitely make you smile.
