Comedian and talk show host Jimmy Kimmel is now the proud owner of a Hollywood Star! Kimmel, 45, gathered today with family and friends for the star’s afternoon unveiling ceremony.
“I’m getting emotional. This is embarrassing,” Kimmel said while thanking the people who supported him throughout the years. “People are going to pee on this star.”
Kimmel’s star, the 2,489th plaque to appear on the Walk of Fame, is now installed at 6840 Hollywood Boulevard, in front of the El Capitan Entertainment Centre. El Capitan is home to
Jimmy Kimmel Live!, now celebrating its tenth year on ABC. Carson Daly, a former intern of Jimmy’s, spoke at the ceremony, as did L.A. politician Eric Garcetti.
“We are proud to include Jimmy Kimmel on our Walk of Fame,” Ana Martinez, Producer of the Walk of Fame ceremonies,
said in a statement. “Jimmy always makes us laugh, and he has done so much for the Hollywood community. He was bound to end up on Hollywood Boulevard!”
Kimmel made headlines today for his faux feud with
Matt Damon. Last night, Damon “kidnapped” Kimmel and took over his late night show, interviewing a slew of big-name guests as a bound Jimmy looked on. Damon even chatted with Kimmel’s ex, Sarah Silverman.
Congratulations, Jimmy!
