[edit] Suck it Jimmy!!!

In a recent interview Jimmy Kimmel made a rather ignorant, arrogant and stupid comment about Bulgaria. Obviously, he knows nothing about this country. It is time shove some facts in his face. Right now, the Bulgarian Kaloian Mihljankov "Kotooshu" became the first non-Japanese to win the Emperor's cup for Sumo wrestling in Japan! In May 2008 he won 12 out of 13 matches. IN YOUR FACE, Jimmy!

Less than 100 years ago, here in the USA, another Bulgarian wrestler, Dan Koloff, became a champion in the free stile wrestling. During his career of about 9 years, he had WON 1,500 MATCHES and LOST 0!

In 2006 in Guanzhou, China, the Bulgarian woman-wresltler Stanka Zlateva became world champion in classic style wrestling! In 2007 in Baku, Armenia, she defended her title. Go ahead, say stupid joke about women!

Dear Jimmy, go, educate yourself, and if you think you can boast with something more than drinking beer, call me! I shall be available. Good night and good luck! Zigi zagi zigi zagi oi-oi-oi! Niki, Bulgaria-Florida —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.246.160.250 (talk) 03:45, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] German ancestory

Is there any evidence that he has German ancestory? I'm trying to remove all Austrian, Jewish and Swiss Americans from the German American category. I say this because he is dating a Jewish woman and I find it unlikely her family would accept this. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.141.217.93 (talk • contribs) .

He claims to be German on an episode of The Man Show where he and Adam are pretending to campaign for office. 69.118.247.101 05:37, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

Kimmel is not Jewish. He is German and Italian. Both parents were Catholic and his father was an ethnic German. http://www.nndb.com/people/107/000026029/Vulturell 08:58, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

You think someone who is Jewish who not date someone of German *ancestry.* Are you serious? This is 2005 for Christ's sake! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 206.221.224.35 (talk • contribs) .

[edit] Win Ben Stein's Money

Wasn't he replaced on Win Ben Stein's Money by Nancy Pimental? His cousin was a guest host for a few episodes after Nancy left, if I recall correctly, but there were many more episodes with Nancy. 69.118.247.101 05:37, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

When Jimmy left to do The Man Show, Nancy Pimental stepped into the role as co-host of WBSM. After one season, she was replaced by Cousin Sal; Sal was the permanent co-host of Win Ben Stein's money for the rest of the run of the show. Because the episodes of Win Ben Stein's Money are often aired out of order, it sometimes appears as though there are rotating co-hosts. Bourne 23:14, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Controversy

Googled variations of "Jimmy Kimmel NBA Controversy", and came up with a maximum of 211 hits. Seems pretty non-notable, and even though his show was affected for a single episode, there is nothing on that page that mentions it. Therefore I will remove it, and if someone wants to add a note on the show's page go for it.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Azmaverick623 (talk • contribs) .


[edit] Narcolepsy

I don't feel comfortable making the change myself, but there Narcolepsy does not come in different forms. Narcolepsy is Narcolepsy, however, it is possible to have mild Narcolepsy, its just not possible to have a mild form of Narcolepsy. It may seem trivial to others, but as an encyclopedia, this information should be factual.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.14.107.13 (talk • contribs) .

I agree.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.171.132.59 (talk • contribs) .

[edit] Snakebite

Rather funny bit. I hopped on Wikipedia to check out if there was an update. Sure enough, there were back-to-back updates about it, only to be "staged" on the show. VexedTechie 04:39, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Matt Damon

Why does he always say "Sorry to Matt Damon, we ran out of time." Its just annoying. --Yancyfry jr 05:08, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

  • It's a running gag. Might be worth a mention in the article, actually, especially with the staged bit a week or so ago when Damon appeared on the show but right after he came on, they "ran out of time." | Mr. Darcy talk 22:34, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
I had actually added it to both this article and Matt Damon's long ago, but it apparently got deleted.68.255.253.246 09:08, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Middle Name

I have no idea where 'ahlond' came from. Google didn't provide anything useful. I changed it to Christian, believing the IMDB is a reliable source 69.173.115.35

[edit] Larry King

Someone put in some heavily, heavily biased comments slamming Kimmel for his recent interview with the Gawker.com editor, from his guest-hosting stint on Larry King Live. I took the liberty of removing them, as they do not belong here.

[edit] Picture

I dont know alot about how 2 edit this site but i think a picture of jimmy would b nice. and can someone help figure out how 2 import images

[edit] Sexual Preference

Until I just edited it, the wiki page said he was gay. I'm assuming this was a cruel joke because I checked his website and it clearly states "I'm not gay." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.78.10.96 (talk) 22:19, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Controversies Plagiarism

The controversies section is lifted directly from the New York Times Articles. Although the section properly cites to the Times article it does not contain proper quote marks indicating that it is directly quoting its source. The author of the Times article should get credit for the writing since it is his/her's not the wikipedia editor's. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.217.227.68 (talk) 02:55, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gay

in the new issue of People he's on the cover and it says "I'm Gay too!". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.112.221.166 (talk) 20:47, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

That was just because Lance Bass was on the show. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.186.175.209 (talk) 03:23, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

He is a comedian. It was funny, since he has been dating the same woman for 8 years or so. Triage (talk) 16:27, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Removed section on Matt Damon

I removed the section that talks about the running joke, the song with Sarah Silverman, and Jimmy Kimmel's song with Ben Affleck. Information on specific jokes and sketches isn't notable enough to be included in a biography on Jimmy Kimmel. There is already information about it at Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and that's where it belongs. If anyone disagrees, please explain why here or in an edit summary. --Mysdaao talk 16:25, 29 February 2008 (UTC)


[edit] MNF Controversy

If this is important, somone needs to re-write it so it doesn't copy word from word the New York Times article it cites:

On Monday, October 15, 2007, Kimmel was banned from ESPN's Monday Night Football. Kimmel was put on early in the third quarter and joked about how Joe Theismann was fired and replaced by Ron Jaworski. He cracked that it was Tony Kornheiser who got Theismann fired and asked Kornheiser and Jaworski if they bet on games. He also said, "I'd also like to welcome Joe Theismann, watching from his living room with steam coming from his ears." The last remark was ignored by Kornheiser, Jaworski, and Mike Tirico. Theismann was more amused than annoyed by Kimmel's comments, some of which he heard while watching TV at home. The following week on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Terry Bradshaw presented Jimmy with a personally autographed photo of Joe Theismann, which read: "Dear Jimmy, Thanks for always having my back. Joe Theismann."http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/17/sports/football/17kimmel.html?_r=2&ref=sports&oref=slogin&oref=slogin New York Times article]

[edit] Current Girlfriend?

At one point it refers to Sarah Silverman as his current girlfriend, in another it refers to her as his "ex-girlfriend". Someone fix this.
