I love this guy. J.B. Smoove (who was born in Plymouth, N.C.) brought the ruckus to "Jimmy Kimmel Live" last night, and we're pretty sure Kimmel is now infected. Smoove is best known for playing Leon Black on HBO's "Curb Your Enthusiasm."

Do you have the ruckus? Watch below:

Jimmy Kimmel responded to Jay Leno's accusation on yesterday's "Oprah Winfrey Show" that Kimmel "sucker-punched" him when Kimmel appeared on Jay's show a few weeks ago.

On his own show last night, Kimmel pointed out that he didn't believe going on a comedy show and making jokes qualifies as a "sucker-punch." But he joked that having a comedian on your show and then running to Oprah to rat them out did feel a little like a sucker-punch. Kimmel was funny about it, not whiney and victimized (like Jay). Kimmel did what comedians do: he turned the dispute something funny, he didn't run to Oprah for therapy and damage control.

Kimmel said if he made a mistake when he went on Jay's show earlier this month, it was in thinking Jay would stray from his cue cards (which he did not). "He just stood there, kind of reading through the questions like a robot." Kimmel said he expected to make some jokes about the late night mess and then they'd "mix it up" a bit because, as Kimmel said, "you know, at one time he was a comedian." OUCH. And also, BULLSEYE.

The video is below. I also love the part where Kimmel asks everyone to keep Jay in their prayers.

The late night world is in turmoil while NBC stews in their own ineptitude, but the beneficiaries (for now, at least) are the viewers. The current late night shows are on fire poking fun at Jay Leno and the Peacock, making it harder than ever to decide who to watch each night before bed.

Perhaps the funniest late night skewering last night came from David Letterman, who knows a little something about getting screwed by NBC. Letterman repeatedly referred to Leno as Jay 'Big Jaw' Leno, and did a pretty hilarious immitation of Leno's high-pitched voice. Jimmy Kimmel was also hilarious, doing his entire show impersonating Leno, and his guest, Chevy Chase, wore a Conan O'Brien wig. Conan's monologue was also funny, telling his audience he would soon be available for childrens parties.

In case you missed the fun, we've pulled together all the good clips from the shows. Just click below to begin watching and laughing.

Since David Letterman's critics are calling for CBS to fire him for having sexual relationships with members of his staff, could Jimmy Kimmel soon be feeling a little heat himself?

It seems Kimmel is in a relationship with Molly McNearney, a writer on his staff, and has been dating her for several months. McNearny was hired as an assistant on the show in 2003, promoted to writer in 2006, and promoted to co-head writer in 2008.

Kimmel is the host and executive producer of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" which airs Monday through Friday at midnight on ABC. 

Kimmel says he did not tell jokes about Letterman on his show when Letterman's relationship with Stephanie Birkitt was revealed on October 1.

David Sedaris appeared on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" this past Tuesday night, promoting the tour for the paperback release of his latest book, "When You Are Engulfed in Flames."

Sedaris talked to Jimmy about  drinking breast milk, trained monkeys, and mean Mexican pigs (no, it's not about Swine flu).

Last night after the first After the Final Rose show, Jason Mesnick appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live to try to convince America that he's not a total jerk.

We learned a few interesting things. First, Jason says that Melissa knew before they went on the show that they were not "together" - in fact, he says . . .
