Here's a trailer for a fake movie from last night's Jimmy Kimmel Live Oscar special, featuring a bunch of big famous actors. It's a sequel to the previous year's Movie: The Movie trailer, which was a massive viral hit despite not featuring Matt Damon getting tricked into sucking a giant CGI dick like this one does.
To promote his new movie Oz, the Great and the Powerful, James Franco arrived to Jimmy Kimmel's studio last night by descending from a hot air balloon and running down a yellow brick road. For once, James Franco does a weird James Franco-y thing because a movie studio put him up to it instead of as some pretentious personal art project.
Last night was supposed to be Matt Damon's first official guest appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live after Kimmel has made it a tradition to bump him from the show as a joke at the end of every episode. Instead, Matt Damon took his revenge. He kidnapped Jimmy Kimmel King of Comedy-style and hosted the show himself, renaming it Jimmy Kimmel Sucks with Kimmel bound and gagged behind him in the background the whole hour. Damon replaced Kimmel's bandleader with Sheryl Crow, his sidekick Guillermo with Andy Garcia, and had Robin Williams do his monologue for him, in addition roping in guest appearances from a whole slew of big names [...]
Ellen DeGeneres went on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night and surprised Kimmel with some footage from his last appearance on her show, in which she and his security guard Guillermo played a sneaky practical joke on him. This had better not erupt into a late night/daytime talk show prank war because that would be overstimulating for the one person who watches TV at both of those times.
Jimmy Kimmel's ABC talk show, which celebrates its 10th birthday this year, had its final midnight episode last night and is set to move to 11:35 this evening, squaring off directly with competitors Jay Leno and David Letterman for the first time. Yesterday's last midnight show was a special called "Goodbye to Midnight," which saw Kimmel looking back on his proudest moments from a decade of Jimmy Kimmel Live, and here's a five-minute highlight reel from the special. It's jam-packed with all sorts of great stuff from the show, except, oddly enough, no "I'm Fucking Matt Damon/Ben Affleck" footage.
Last year, Jimmy Kimmel debuted an extended trailer for a fake film called Movie: The Movie during his post-Oscars special, featuring tons of big name actors like Hanks, Meryl Streep, and George Clooney. He's doing it again this year on his Oscar special Sunday night, and here's a short trailer for the Movie: The Movie 2V trailer, featuring Bradley Cooper, Jessica Chastain, Jude Law, Amanda Seyfried, Bruno Mars, and a bunch of sexy mummies.

Melissa McCarthy stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live last night to promote her new movie Identity Thief and to demonstrate how easy it is to steal somebody's identity in real life. It's not hard at all as long as you can sneak someone's credit card out of their wallet without them noticing, dress like them, and happen to own a wig very similar to that person's hair.
Here's Girls star Allison Williams on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night, discussing her father Brian Williams and revealing for the first time that he was a giant fan of the band Hanson early on. You'll never be able to watch the news the same way again.
Jimmy Kimmel's ABC talk show just started airing at 11:35pm this week, and he's still learning the ropes of his new, earlier timeslot. Apparently, he was unaware that Will Ferrell and Ryan Gosling use his studio to host their home shopping show, Knife Guys, Wednesday nights at 11:30. Hopefully, these guys will all work something out by next week… if Will Ferrell doesn't bleed to death by then.
Jimmy Kimmel weighed in on the rumors of NBC replacing Jay Leno with Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show in 2014 this morning, saying, "The fact is that NBC is going to make a decision someday. As much as he would like it, Jay Leno can’t stay on television forever and Jimmy Fallon is the heir apparent." Kimmel discussed the matter during a conference call with reporters about his program's upcoming time shift, which will see him directly competing with Leno (and his hero Letterman) for the first time ever when Jimmy Kimmel Live moves from 12:05am to 11:35pm on January 8th. During the call, Kimmel compared Leno to [...]
"I always feel bad if I hurt anybody's feelings, but I don't believe Jay Leno has actual feelings, and he doesn't seem to be that worried about other people's feelings."

Here's a video of Matt Damon going around and asking Jimmy Kimmel's neighbors for horror stories about the talk show host. It was supposed to air on Thursday when Damon tied Kimmel up and guest hosted his show, but Kimmel ended up showing the video the next night, proving that Matt Damon will never really stop getting bumped from Jimmy Kimmel Live.
For years, Jimmy Kimmel has had a running joke where he apologizes at the end of each show for having to bump his last guest, Matt Damon, for running out of time. Damon's been on the show multiple times to play off of that joke but never as an official guest. All that's about to change next Thursday, January 24th, when the A-list actor is set to go in for his first official interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live. "May God help Damon if he dares show his stupid face," Jimmy Kimmel said in an official statement. Matt Damon explained the origin of the joke to Parade a [...]
Yes, that's Jennifer Aniston destroying Jimmy Kimmel's brand new desk with a sledgehammer. Kimmel's ABC talk show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, moved up to the 11:35 timeslot last night, competing head-to-head with Letterman and Leno for the first time after a decade of starting at midnight. His first guest was big-time movie star Jennifer Aniston, who'd never done the show before, and she ended up smashing his desk with a sledgehammer over a misunderstanding (see above) and giving Kimmel a haircut (see below).
With the new timeslot, Jimmy Kimmel has more famous people lined up to do his show later in the week, including Ryan Gosling, Bruno Mars, and [...]
