And my beloved soulmate Jimmy Kimmel gave a great interview to NewYorkMagazine about his show moving to 11:35pm. He talks about how they paint over his bald spot each night, the four lovers he’s had in his life and how much joy it brings him to employ his bandmember (and father of lifelong friend, Cleto Jr.) Cleto Sr.:
