The Jimmy Kimmel and Aunt Chippy feud is back this week on Jimmy Kimmel Live! as the noted talk show host pranked his forever-angry aunt by putting her in a driverless car. Taking her from her home, Kimmel had help from his cousins to hilariously torture his aunt.

Kimmel has had many noted feuds in his show, with his beef with Matt Damon being the most popular. However, he has pranked Aunt Chippy multiple times in the past, as well as other members of his family.

Jimmy Kimmel has made headlines the past few days for his reaction to Donald Trump’s reelection as the 47th President of the USA. The talk show host famously shed tears while doing his monologue after election night, drawing ire from noted personalities like Bill Maher and Rob Schneider,...

Jimmy Kimmel pulled off an unbelievable April Fools Day prank on his Aunt Chippy, who joined her daughter Micki for a sonogram… that was given a little extra life courtesy of ABC’s crack graphics department. The result: a booger-eating, middle finger-flipping, womb-dancing baby. “My cousin Micki works here at the show; she’s very pregnant and is expected to give birth any minute now,” the “Jimmy Kimmel Live” host said Friday night. “Her mother, my Aunt Chippy, is not the nicest person in the world nor is she sweet. She is as a shot glass full of gasoline. Now,...

Jimmy Kimmel and James Corden are doing their best to keep up with Kim Kardashian West.

On Tuesday, Glamour shared a video of Kardashian West, the magazine's July cover star, writing a letter to her future self that should not to be opened until 2025. And on Wednesday night, Kimmel and Corden could not help but poke fun at the reality mogul's thoughtful missive.

In his playful video, Kimmel, 47, gives Kardashian West a run for her (loads of) money with a spot-on homage, including a pink turtleneck, pale walls, matching rose nail polish, a marbled laptop and corresponding background music.

While Kardashian West,...

It looks like her ‘letter to my future self’ for Glamour.com is making quite an impact, as Kim Kardashian was the butt of jokes by both James Corden and Jimmy Kimmel last night (June 17).

During “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” the snarky host penned his own composition in the same style as Kim’s- "Dear Jimmy, when you read this you'll be 10 years older in the year 2025. I hope you are still #blessed as well as Snapchat grateful. I hope my children are healthy and strong. I hope Guillermo is still cute. I hope my Aunt Chippy isn't dead, but let's be honest, she probably is. Lol. I have a lot of questions for you, future me. Am I still hosting my show? Am I finally gay? Did my Latisse treatments work? What's the new kale? Is it parsley? You know what, don't tell me. I bet it's romaine lettuce... I love you,...

Tom Hanks and Tim Allen will reprise their roles in "Toy Story That Time Forgot” For the 2nd Pixar TV special, airing Dec. 2, the gang will need the help of Trixie the triceratops as it faces a group of “dangerously delusional” action figures. Jan Hooks was a reminder of why “SNL” is at its best as a live show With the increasing focus on taped sketch shows like "Key & Peele,” “Portlandia" and "Inside Amy Schumer,” Hooks is a "reminder of what ‘SNL' could be at its best—a live show capable of becoming and taking on anything, depending on what the week calls for,” says James Poniewozik. "And for that, you need players like Hooks: versatile, game live performers who can disappear into a role. Performers like her are a kind of human special effect, creating the canvas on which the show replicates the world.” Plus: "She was totally amazing as a sketch player,...

Jimmy Kimmel showed his love for his Aunt Chippy by handing his profane and prickly relative a choice assignment, one that nearly scared her into an early grave. “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” decamped for Austin, Texas this month to cover SXSW, but the late night show was also intent on enjoying Lone Star state culture. To that end, Chippy was asked to head over to the Congress Avenue Bridge, an unlikely tourist destination where visitors flock each night to watch as thousands of bats emerge at sunset in search of food.

We're just days away from the Primetime Emmys, which air Sunday at 8 p.m. Et on ABC, and as we did last year, we have a bit of last-minute advice for the Emmycast's host. This time it's Jimmy Kimmel, ABC's late-night guy, who's on a roll after the alphabet network announced that "Jimmy Kimmel Live" would be moving to 11:35 in January.

Kimmel's a pretty experienced host, so this assignment might not be as daunting for him as it might have been for Jane Lynch last year. But if Jimmy were coming to us for some tips (and we're sure he's eager to hear what we have to say), here are some dos and don'ts we think he should adhere to.

Do keep your snarkiness intact. Kimmel's really good at what we like to think of as gentle edginess; he can easily drop a devastating line and do it in...

Frank Potenza, the former New York policeman known as “Uncle Frank” in his comedy appearances on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, passed away today. He was 77.

Potenza was a Korean War veteran as well as a former NYPD officer and Las Vegas security guard. Called “Uncle Frank” on the show, Potenza was Kimmel’s real-life uncle; Kimmel asked Potenza to join his talk show as a security guard and on-air contributor when it began its run in 2003. Potenza moved to Los Angeles to participate in his nephew’s show.

“Uncle Frank” was best known for his appearances alongside other show staffers — most notably,...

Jimmy Kimmel has said that he takes pleasure in featuring members of his family in recurring guest spots on his ABC late-night series. The Jimmy Kimmel Live host admitted that he takes a certain enjoyment in coercing relatives into appearing in silly and occasionally risqué sketches. "My cousin Sal, Uncle Frank and Aunt Chippy are regulars. My brother, parents and an occasional other cousin appear every once in a while," Parade quotes the actor as saying. "I have a general rule: If you ask to be on the show, the answer is no. I am much more interested in unwilling participants." Kimmel was also questioned as to whether his (more)...
