Comedian. From AskMen.com:
Comedy Central took a chance on Jimmy Kimmel and his numerous fart jokes, and then reaped the benefits. The Man Show established itself as one of the top shows on the network, with Jimmy Kimmel as cohost alongside Adam Carolla. In fact, ABC took notice and signed him on to do Jimmy Kimmel Live, a late-night show that debuted after the Super Bowl and has taken late night to strange, new places.
Biography
On the 13th of November 1967, future comedian James Kimmel was born in Brooklyn, New York. His parents moved to Las Vegas when he was quite young, and he grew up loving comedy in the gambling capital of the world. With influences like David Letterman, John Belushi and Woody Allen, there was little doubt that Kimmel wished to be involved in entertainment in some capacity or another.
His first foray into the business came in the radio industry. Stations in Seattle, Tampa Bay, Tucson, and Phoenix hired and then subsequently fired Jimmy Kimmel, either for structural reasons or because his edgy humor had gone too far. Still, he persevered and found a solid job at Los Angeles' KROQ-FM. On the popular Kevin and Bean Show, Jimmy Kimmel was known as "Jimmy the Sports Guy," a character who got increasingly more airplay thanks to his rants and sportscasts.
