I’ve known Jimmy Kimmel since 1999, when I moonlighted for two weeks from my job at Time magazine writing for The Man Show, which he co-created.
What I learned then, and in every other interaction I’ve had with him since, is that he has an enormous amount of integrity mixed with bravery. Which is a weird thing to get from someone whose answer to my question, “What are we trying to comment on by putting girls on trampolines?” was “Girls on trampolines!” But he has a backbone I’ve rarely seen in Hollywood.
