A comparatively young Jimmy Kimmel was selected for ABC’s late night TV slot with the hope of drawing a younger audience

Facing stiff competition from Jay Leno and David Letterman the show was slow to take off but by 2005 Kimmel did eventually win over that younger demographic

The show now has over 3300 episodes

Fun Fact: Despite its name, the show has not regularly aired live since 2004, when censors were unable to properly bleep swearing from actor Thomas Jane.
