First and latest

Did you know?!

A first
During the week of October 22 to 26, 2007, Kimmel guest-hosted Live with Regis and Kelly and flew between New York and Los Angeles each day. That work week covered 22406 miles, a Guinness World Record for the longest distance.
A role that slipped away
Kimmel turned down multiple television offers from producer Michael Davies because the projects did not interest him. He later took the part as Ben Stein's comedic counterpart on Win Ben Stein's Money, which started on Comedy Central in 1997.
Beyond film
From August 30 to October 10, 2023, Kimmel was the host of Strike Force Five, a comedy podcast. Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, Stephen Colbert and John Oliver joined him to help their out of work staff during the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike.
