Jimmy Kimmel Live! - Popular Segments

Popular Segments

• Behind the News: Clips are shown from worldwide newscasts of people who disrupt a reporter during his or her news segment.
• Breaking News with Pablo Suzuki: Reporter Pablo Suzuki stands by with pedestrians, reporting false and tragic news. When the pedestrian tries to give their opinion on the subject, Pablo usually interrupts them, or changes the subject. This skit has been retired after Suzuki refused to renew his contract with the show in 2007.
• Cousin Sal on Location: Cousin Sal usually performs skits out of the studio, such as impersonating a store employee, purposely giving customers bad service, insulting them or giving them something they did not order/ask for.
• Guillermo's Hollywood Round-Up: Guillermo, dressed in a cowboy outfit and a lasso, reports the latest entertainment news in front of a magazine stand. Most of the news reported by Guillermo is incorrect due to his accent and/or reading skills.
• Guillermo in Movies: One of the more popular segments, parking lot attendant Guillermo is superimposed into current movies. Some of the movies he's been "featured" in include Bourne Ultimatum, Munich, Brokeback Mountain, Spider-Man 3, The Simpsons Movie, and Jumper
• How Is This News?: A segment in which they feature a real-life news story which is seen as pointless or otherwise non-"newsworthy".
• Jake Byrd... Celebrity Avenger!: An occasional actor on the show (and a member of Jimmy's writing staff), Tony Barbieri periodically portrays Jake Byrd, who insinuates himself into real life events around the country, seeking attention and irritating those around him. He often fools even the media into believing he is a part of the story. Some of the court cases that he appeared at include Paris Hilton, O. J. Simpson, and Michael Jackson. This skit was retired for a time, after Byrd supposedly quit the show in 2007, but has recently returned.
• Jimmy Kimmel Live Concert Series: See "music" section below.
• Jimmy Kimmel Lie Detective : A segment where Jimmy tests kids with fake lie detector tests.
• This Week in Unnecessary Censorship: A parody of the FCC's censorship rules, in which otherwise inoffensive TV clips are unnecessarily bleeped and blurred to imply that the content is much more offensive or vulgar. Kimmel has also cited the Parents Television Council, a group known for filing the majority of FCC complaints, as an influence. The segment originally appeared each Friday, but now appears each Thursday. It is frequently imitated by amateur video editors on the internet, often aimed at one theme, such as Disney or Harry Potter.
• Uncle Frank and Aunt Chippy's Adventures: Jimmy sends his Uncle Frank and his ex-wife Conchetta "Chippy" Potenza to do various activities (such as drawing nude models, paint balling, snake wrangling, learning self-defense). However, due to Uncle Frank's recent illness, these segments were suspended in 2010. The segment was retired in 2011 due to Frank's death.
• Unintentional Joke of the Day: A clip is shown, where the line said is usually a sexual innuendo.
• Worst Team on Television: Uncle Frank, Veatrice, and Guillermo discuss a popular topic of the day, usually having no clue what they're talking about and eventually devolving into nonsense and insults. It was retired after Veatrice's death in 2009.
• Hey Jimmy Kimmel YouTube Challenge: where Jimmy has challenged viewers to submit prank videos to YouTube. Examples are: "Hey Jimmy Kimmel, I told my Kids I Ate all their Halloween Candy", "Hey Jimmy Kimmel, I Gave My Kids a Terrible Present", and "Hey Jimmy Kimmel, I Unplugged the TV During the Big Game"
