During last night’s episode of ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live,‘ Matt Damon stepped in to play the role of host.

Treat Your Momma Right, The Gary Busey Way

Dan Seitz — Sat, 12 May 2012 20:30:19 +0000

Jimmy Kimmel is pretty funny. Fortunately, he’s also humble enough to defer to people who are even funnier than he is, which is why he aired some of Gary Busey’s advice for Mother’s Day. Here’s what Busey had to say; see if you agree. Here’s our main question: why vodka? There are plenty of other [...]

Jeremy Taylor — Wed, 09 May 2012 17:08:00 +0000

According to Jimmy Kimmel, Johnny Depp has more impersonators than anyone else in Hollywood. We're not sure if that's true, but there is no doubt that all of Depp's eclectic roles have given anybody who is imitating the superstar quite the oppurtunity to play dress up.

In fact, during his appearance on Kimmel, Depp fielded questions from impersonators impeccably dressed as Jack Sparrow, Willy Wonka, Barnabas Collins from 'Dark Shadows' and Edward Scissorhands. Check it out.

Jeremy Taylor — Wed, 02 May 2012 17:30:26 +0000

GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney came off as something of a, shall we say, "stiff." Even his most passionate supporters would admit this much. But Romney's campaign thinks they have a secret weapon in making their guy seem less like a robot. His loving, and completely human-like, wife Ann.

However, in a clip that Jimmy Kimmel uncovered, it seems Ann's influence may loosen Mitt up a bit too much. See what we mean below.
