Jimmy seems like a very loving person who cares about his family and work family. I smiled seeing Guillermo tear up looking back at his humble beginnings
OMG Jimmy is trying so hard not to cry. Gotta love the guy. Look forward to the monologue every night (not Friday I guess) love the Brooklyn shows. Stay awesome Jimmy.
I am from Norway. We were lucky to get Jimmy Kimmel on TV from 2003-2009. It was part of my late night TV routine..But in 2009 there was no more Kimmel.... BUT... something called RU-vid started blowing up! .. And there were more and more Jimmy Kimmel videos out there! Then came the Chanel! 20 years later, I still watch Jimmy Kimmel Live every night! :D
I love how Jimmy includes his family into the success of the show. Personally, one of several reasons I like the show is how Jimmy involves his own family. The guy is really appreciative to the success and realizes he is indeed a blessed man. I’m close to most of my family and if it wasn’t for them, I don’t know where’d I’d be today. So family makes the man and in his case, it’s made the show what it is these last 20 years
You can tell that whole crew admires and respects each other. They genuinely like one another, what they do, and they have fun while doing it. Therefore, they make a great product. Which is why the show has lasted as long as it has... just to answer Jimmy's question.
The original business model of RU-vid was annoying, but at least the ads were reasonable. New flood of invasive, repetitive, and offensive ads are EVIL. Google is now fully dedicated to doing any evil that seems profitable. And censoring complaints, too.
20 years ago, when Jimmy Kimmel first started on ABC, it was the last ever Super Bowl to ever be played in this month of January, and I was just in first grade, as this was all happening. And now seeing how far Jimmy has come to reach this historic milestone, it's a big honor to see how he's been faring with his show, as well as his life, despite the detractors, the critics, or even his rivals, that came along, in the show's path. Jimmy, whatever you do, keep on rockin' it. ABC definitely wants to see more of you, each and every weeknight. Peace be with you, and your family.
Congratulations, Jimmy. It is beautiful to see how grateful you are to all those who helped you along the 20 years and see you hold back the tears so many times during the monologue. Congratulations to all the staff. 💚💚
My dad didn’t visit me a lot Over the past 4 years that I’ve been in college. Jimmy, you became my late night dad. I really appreciate your work. Thanks for being you
Jimmy dont apologize, giving KUDOS to people (no matter if we know them or not) is never boring, never happens enough, & shows your compassionate & humble spirit!
He makes me laugh so hard! It's so good for the soul. I also love how he remembers where he came from & is appreciative of all his blessings. Has a very sensitive side too!
It makes perfect sense. before Jimmy kimmel, stupid, uneducated people had nothing to watch except toddler aged cartoons but Kimmel made their dreams come true. Thank God we live in an age where even the dumbest people among us can be sufficiently entertained instead of thrown aside like the trash! What a great day it is!
I honestly think RU-vid helped his show's sustainability. I never watched nor watch his show on TV as any other one, but I usually watch his monologues in the last six years. He was the first to use and get the potentiality of YB for his show's growth.
I am so happy your show has lasted so long. You and your show have truly been a beacon in in some of my darkest moments personally and looking at the state of the country. Just seeing how motivated you can be is truly moving you make more than just jokes I feel that you make connections on a personal level. Thank you for being a part of my nightly routine.
I will always appreciate all the hard work that everyone on this show does does so I can get a laugh in the evening. Great job guys from over the hill in the Valley.
Congratulations, Jimmy! I’ve been watching since the beginning and you’ve made me laugh through many dark times! Most importantly, you’ve gotten me through the last 6-7 yrs, which have been the hardest. You’ve helped us laugh through times we shouldn’t be able to find anything funny and laughed along through the good times. Best of wishes for many candles to come, you make the world a brighter place!
Nothing chokes you up more than seeing two grown men acknowledging each other with such gratitude and admiration. Their bromance started right before our eyes and it’s still genuine today. Jimmy Kimmel has a big heart, a big loving support system, and him crediting it onscreen was such a special moment. Bravo Kimmel! Bravo!
Happy 20th anniversary of Jimmy Kimmel Live, thank you so much Jimmy for everything you did for the show, you're very funny and fabulous, perfect acting too!
Congratulations from Germany to you and the team for making it to your 20th Anniversary. I hope you keep on doing your good work for at least 20 more years. Thank you for cheering us up even in difficult times.
I don't believe you!!! If you are really from Germany then Tell me about Schadenfreude, and CurryWorst, and Where I can find the best Döner Kebab in Berlin!!!!
Congratulations Jimmy K, I had been watching this show for the longest ever since the beginning. I love your show so much and I am so happy you made it to 20 years. I love tonight guesses and my favorite was MD. I knew he was going to be there and I was looking forward to seeing him. Love the show especially when n your big 20 aniversario!!!
i was studying in california in 2014, and went to see a show, with my friend Abed. We was front row, and interviewed by Kimmel. I will never forget that moment, he is such a fun and humble guy.
How and why did this make me cry??!!! …I’m going with the joy this show has produced, as opposed to the realization that I’m old enough to remember way more of Jimmy’s recalls, than I could ever have fathomed. I’m, literally, full-on damply-cheeked.
I can say that whenever i need like an uplifting moment i see this kind of videos from jimmy and it sure makes me feel way better. I can feel every word he says comes from the very bottom of his heart. Love all about them and this show…
This show has gotten me through so so much... Solid 15 + years of following here.. Congrats on 20 years Jimmy and the entire crew... When he Choked up thanking Guillermo 😭😭😭... Heres to 20 more years of the best variety show on TV
This is honestly incredible though. It has to be so hard to stick around so long when everyone you started with and many who came after all have left the air. Also, he looks healthier than ever. Good on you and everyone whose persistent work keeps this machine running
I truly believe Jimmy is an outstanding person who cares about his friends, family, coworkers and causes. Thank you for finding me during the pandemic and always putting a smile on my face.
Jimmy you deserve this!! The emotion of everyone you mention that has changed your life and made this show together is just beautiful! You made me tear up! I wish you and everyone there many many more years and thank you so much for all the years of laughter and looking forward to more with you guys 💖
Happy 20th anniversary Jimmy & crew! I like how Jimmy mixes current affairs and comedy so well. Seeing him talk so fondly of everyone he works with was sweet. When he says "I'm Jimmy I'm the host" it's always a subtle acknowledgement that there are so many other people working around him who make the show what it is.
Hey Jimmy as an Aussie can I just say we’re so stoked your anniversary is on our national anniversary! Although I also acknowledge the reasons for changing the date of Australia Day at the same time. Congratulations Jimmy on 20 amazing years, mate!!
Congratulations on reaching such an impressive milestone, Jimmy. Looking forward to many more laughs from you and the crew over the next 20 years! 🎊 🥂🪅🎉
