Jimmy Kimmel on "Jimmy Kimmel Live"
Jimmy Kimmel on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" - © ABC
As host and executive producer of the late-night talk show "Jimmy Kimmel Live" for the ABC Television Network, Jimmy Kimmel is a busy man. Like most talk shows, "Jimmy Kimmel Live" features celebrity guests, comedy bits and live music. Unlike most talk shows, it also features Jimmy Kimmel's family - including his cousin Sal, Uncle Frank, his parents and Aunt Chippy. Jimmy Kimmel's childhood best friend, Cleto Escobedo, serves as bandleader, alongside his dad, Cleto Escobedo, Sr., on saxophone. "Jimmy Kimmel Live" airs weeknights at 12:05 a.m.

Jimmy Kimmel was also the host of ABC's variety/game show, "Set for Life." In addition Jimmy Kimmel hosted the 2007 ESPY Awards. Jimmy Kimmel co-created and executive-produces the hit MTV2 series' "The Andy Milonakis Show" and "Crank Yankers." Jimmy Kimmel co-hosted Comedy Central's "The Man Show," served for four seasons as on-air prognosticator for "Fox NFL Sunday," and co-hosted Comedy Central's long-running and popular game show, "Win Ben Stein's Money," for which he received two Emmy nominations and one win for Best Game Show Host in 1999. Jimmy Kimmel has hosted the "American Music Awards" on ABC on three occasions and served as roastmaster for Comedy Central's roasts of both Hugh Hefner and Pamela Anderson.

Jimmy Kimmel's company, "Jackhole Industries," formed with partners Daniel Kellison and Adam Carolla, is (but will not be held) responsible for "Jimmy Kimmel Live," "The Man Show," "Crank Yankers," "The Andy Milonakis Show," "Gerhard Reinke's Wanderlust," "Too Late with Adam Carolla," "The Adam Carolla Project" and the made-for-Comedy Central feature film, "Windy City Heat," which won the 2005 Comedia Award for best film at the Just for Laughs comedy festival in Montreal. Jimmy Kimmel also serves as a creative consultant to Adam Carolla's syndicated morning radio show.

Born in Brooklyn, New York, and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada, Jimmy Kimmel began his career in morning radio. Fired from stations in Phoenix, Seattle, Tampa and Tucson, Jimmy Kimmel's luck finally changed as Jimmy the Sports Guy on KROQ-FM Los Angeles' "Kevin and Bean Show," where his popular comedy sportscasts never even got him fired once.

Jimmy Kimmel currently resides in Los Angeles with his 15-year-old daughter and 13-year-old son.
