Hillary Clinton to Visit Jimmy Kimmel Live on Monday August 22nd

Given how Trump has been flailing in his controversy baiting campaign strategy ever since the conventions wrapped, this very well could be a crucial appearance for Hillary Clinton.

Even though it’s a late night talk show that engages in pranks that are seemingly on the whole country including having Donald Trump on the program, Hillary can (and hopefully will) distance herself in poll numbers, especially if she comes off as genuine as transparent about her campaign.

Jimmy Kimmel Gets 3 Year Extension at ABC

(via Deadline)

We have a feeling that the Jimmys of late night will be battling well beyond 2019.

As part of ABC’s Upfronts presentation, the network announced Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Kimmel Live will remain at ABC through Fall of 2019. The other Jimmy in late night, Fallon, has his contract currently extended through 2021. However Kimmel and Fallon are the current top ratings winners and that, for now, should keep them going in the late night arena for quite some time.

Jimmy Kimmel to Return as Host for The Emmys

Now, we’ll just have to see if The Emmys will get any sort of controversy like The Oscars did and how Kimmel might handle it.

This September, Jimmy Kimmel will host The Primetime Emmy Awards for the second time and also “keep it in the family” at ABC is the current home of both Jimmy Kimmel Live and The Emmys.

Given the amount of awards given out at The Emmys and the growing amount of diversity on TV, an #EmmysSoWhite seems unlikely. However, six months leaves plenty of room for controversy, from any angle, to arise and potentially make for a very intriguing challenge for someone like Kimmel.

Matt Damon Does His Darndest (Including Some Help from Ben Affleck) to Get on Jimmy Kimmel Live

Nothing quite summons the performer out of Jimmy Kimmel quite like his on-going bit of continuing to postpone Matt Damon from being a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Their latest quarrel came after The Oscars when Damon got the closest he’s ever gotten to being on the show without kidnapping Jimmy.

Even as an Oscar nominee, Matt Damon had to sneak into the background of another interview and ask a huge favor from Ben Affleck to make it on to Kimmel’s post-Oscars show.

May the “war” between Damon and Kimmel continue forever so Damon cameos at Kimmel like this one will keep happening.

Andy Richter to Host Jimmy Kimmel-Produced Game Show “Big Fan”

February 9, 2016

Uncategorized

(via Deadline)

Maybe Andy Richter will shine like Steve Harvey does as a game show host on Family Feud?

The idea stemmed from a game that Jimmy Kimmel plays on Jimmy Kimmel Live where a celebrity is challenged to a trivia match against one of their own super fans. Kimmel has now gotten it to be its own series, not unlike Fallon has done with Lip Sync Battle, at ABC.

It’s a weekly game show, so we’re going to assume Richter will retain his role as Conan’s sidekick.

It wouldn’t be a proper Zach Galifianakis late night appearance without doing some sort of bit, right? Right.

So, Zach chose to go with a pretty trailblazing choice of eyebrows while talking about his new FX series Baskets. The results makes us think that maintaining eyebrow composure is key to not breaking character.

During his stop on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night, Adam Scott wanted to share the joy he’s gotten from his new dog so much that he brought his dog onto the show.

Apparently, his dog has many features that resemble the comedian and actor Steve Agee, which undoubtedly contributes to why Adam loves his new dog.

Meet the pooch as he walks on to Kimmel’s set here.

Is there anything Nathan Fielder can’t pull off?

What started off as an elaborate Nathan For You prank brought about of Nathan Fielder’s disdain for an outdoor wear company Taiga’s tribute to a Holocaust denier has raised a significant chunk of change for the Vancouver Holocaust Education Center to the tune of $45,000 and counting.

On top of that, A-listers like Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Jack Black, Jimmy Kimmel, Ellie Kemper, and more have bought and worn Fielder’s Summit Ice Jacket.

With folks like Nathan Fielder as well as Jon Stewart, John Oliver, and Kurt Braunohler around, one can see just how much good comedy, even at its most absurd, can do in the world.

While prepping for a week of shows in Brooklyn, Jimmy Kimmel stopped by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and shot the breeze about their character of an agent, James Dixon.

Also, Kimmel and Colbert make it seem like there is way less of a rivalry between late night hosts than the rest of the world would like to think.

Nathan Fielder Insists He’s Not Copying The Blacklist’s Billboard

Last week, Nathan Fielder unveiled the billboard to promote the new, upcoming season of his show Nathan For You. The billboard had such a striking resemblance to a billboard from NBC’s The Blacklist that any and all that saw it took it as parody.

However, while on last night’s Jimmy Kimmel Live, Fielder stresses in every which way he can that he’s not ripping off The Blacklist billboard.

It’s all just more genius meta level marketing from Nathan, which is probably the best reason for you tuning to the season 3 premiere on Comedy Central this Thursday at 10PM.

We’re sure some of you thought that after Matt Damon kidnapped Jimmy Kimmel and took over Jimmy Kimmel Live that the bit where Damon never actually gets to do the show was over.

Jimmy Kimmel Wants To Play One of Those Late Night Talk Show Games with Bob Odenkirk and Bob Doesn’t Want To

Bob Odenkirk would never leave a TV appearance hanging without a bit.

So, when Jimmy Kimmel asked him to play a made-up fun game that’s really popular on talk shows these days, Bob decided that’s not going to fly with him. It’s almost like he’s poking fun of another late night host who does a bunch of games whose name is also Jimmy.

Watch Bob refuse to play ‘Heatherball’ here.

“Jimmy Kimmel Live“ to Return to Brooklyn for a Week of Shows When Colbert and Fallon Aren’t Taping

(via The Hollywood Reporter)

With The Late Show with Stephen Colbert nearly capping off the beginning of this new era of late night, there is going to be, once again, jockeying for position.

On the week of Oct. 19th, Jimmy Kimmel will do another week of Jimmy Kimmel Live in Brooklyn, which has been cleverly timed for a week where The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and The Tonight Starring Jimmy Fallon will have taken the week off.

With such a move, you can only wonder if he’ll do remote segments around 30 Rock or The Ed Sullivan Theater.

Either way, Kimmel should have a much easier trip this time around as a hurricane probably won’t have just happened.

Already, you’ve heard from Conan O’Brien and Jon Stewart on Dave’s departure from The Late Show.

Jimmy Kimmel gave one of his most heartfelt, sincere moments in his farewell to Dave.

Jimmy Fallon gave thanks to Dave for paving the way for what late night is now.

Seth Meyers told his favorite Letterman story as well as recreated the opening credits of Late Night a la Dave’s version.

There will be more of these to come to be sure.

This week, Jimmy Kimmel is back in Austin, TX for SXSW taping Jimmy Kimmel Live. Not only is Kimmel is making sure to visit more of Austin sights, but making sure both the world and the Greater Austin area know about them.

After asking for submissions by local Austin businesses if they wanted to be part of making a local TV spot, Jimmy Kimmel picked video rental store Vulcan Video (seems like Austin’s version of Cinefile or Vidiots) and enlisted Matthew McConaughey to make a very “local style” ad.

Watch it all go down here.

It’s not necessarily a who-live-to-tell-the-tale experience when guests do a segment on The Eric Andre Show, but host Eric Andre certainly makes a point of putting anyone who comes on the show through the ringer to a degree where some folks walk out and never speak of it again.

Jimmy Kimmel, however, knew what he was in for.

Jimmy Kimmel was a recent guest on The Eric Andre Show and revisited his experience, which he was game for, while on his own non-parody of a talk show, Jimmy Kimmel Live with Eric Andre himself.

Also, if you wondering, here’s the full clip of Jimmy’s visit to The Eric Andre Show.

Jimmy Kimmel has got a lot standing traditions from doing Jimmy Kimmel Live. His post-Oscars special and punking Matt Damon are two in particular that he brought together last night in The Kimmel School of Perfect Acting after last night’s Oscars telecast.

Watch as the likes of Eddie Reymane, Jennifer Aniston, Jeff Bridges, Sean Penn, John Krasinski, Emily Blunt, Gary Oldman, and, of course, Matt Damon in some degrading capacity learn acting from the “master” Jim Kimmel.

(via Deadline)

This spring, FX will see a whole hour block of series focused on the lives of comedians.

The series premiere of The Comedians with Josh Gad and Billy Crystal playing two comedians bridging generational gaps in comedy and the premiere of the fifth season of Louie will kick off Apr. 9th at 10PM.

Note that, Louie will only have 8 episodes for this latest season, which seems like the season order of a freshman show. However, The Comedians will have Mel Brooks, Jimmy Kimmel, and Rob Reiner as guest stars in their first season (via Variety).

This still makes us curious how comedies are split between FX and FXx.
