The Last Of Us Part II has just been announced,and I am pumped! Time to jump back into that awesome world. Living in this apocalyptic world, anxiety takes over. I love this game so much. I love the art in the game, the story line, and the characters! So much love. The Last Of Us.

Early life and family[edit]
Kimmel was born in Brooklyn, New York, and grew up in the neighborhood of Mill Basin[2] as the eldest of three children of Joan (née Iacono), a homemaker, and James John Kimmel, who worked at American Express and was an IBM executive.[5][6][7]
He is, and was raised, Catholic, and as a child was an altar server.[8][9] Kimmel's mother is of Italian ancestry from Ischia, whose family migrated to the United States following the 1883 earthquake,[10][11] while two of his paternal great-great-grandparents were German immigrants. His family's surname was 'Kümmel' ('caraway' in German) several generations back.[12][13][14][15]
The family moved to Las Vegas, Nevada, when he was nine years old.[5] He graduated from Ed W. Clark High School,[16] and then attended University of Nevada, Las Vegas (for one year) and Arizona State University (for two years). He received an honorary degree from UNLV in 2013.[17]
Kimmel's uncle, Frank Potenza ('Uncle Frank'), appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! as a regular from 2003 until his death in 2011.[18] His cousin, Sal Iacono, performed Kimmel's former co-hosting duties during the last season of Win Ben Stein's Money and then became a writer and sketch performer on Jimmy Kimmel Live![19] His Aunt Chippy (Concetta Potenza) is also a featured part of the show. His brother, Jonathan, works on the show as a director. His sister, Jill, is a comedian. He has a son, Kevin, who works on the show as a production assistant. He has a daughter, Katie, who is a ceramics artist. He also has a daughter named Jane (born c. 2014) and a son named Billy (born 2017).[20]
Career[edit]
Radio career[edit]
Kimmel began working in the radio industry while in high school, hosting a Sunday night interview show on UNLV's college station, KUNV.[citation needed] While attending Arizona State University, he became a popular caller to the KZZP-FM afternoon show hosted by radio personalities Mike Elliott and Kent Voss in Phoenix, Arizona. In 1989, Kimmel landed his first paying job alongside Voss as morning drive co-host of The Me and Him Show at KZOK-FM in Seattle, Washington.[citation needed]
Ten months later, Kimmel and Voss were fired by KZOK and were fired again a year later at WRBQ-FM in Tampa, Florida. Kimmel went on to host his own show at KCMJ in Palm Springs, California, where he persuaded a young Carson Daly to drop out of college and become his intern.[citation needed] After a morning stint at KRQQ in Tucson, Arizona, Kimmel landed at KROQ-FM in Los Angeles. He spent five years as 'Jimmy The Sports Guy' for the Kevin and Bean morning show. During this time he met and befriended a struggling comedian named Adam Carolla.[21]
Comedy Central[edit]
Kimmel began his television career as the comedic counterpart to Ben Stein on the game show Win Ben Stein's Money, which began airing on Comedy Central in 1997. His quick wit and 'everyman' personality were counterpoints to Stein's monotonous vocal style and faux-patrician demeanor. The combination earned the pair an Emmy award for Best Game Show Host.
In 1999, during his time with Win Ben Stein's Money, Kimmel co-hosted (with Adam Carolla) and co-produced (with Daniel Kellison), Comedy Central's The Man Show. Kimmel left Win Ben Stein's Money in 2001 and was replaced by comedian Nancy Pimental, who was eventually replaced by Kimmel's cousin Sal Iacono. The Man Show's success allowed Kimmel, Carolla, and Kellison to create and produce, under the banner Jackhole Productions, Crank Yankers for Comedy Central (on which Kimmel plays the characters 'Elmer Higgins', 'Terrence Catheter', 'The Nudge', 'Karl Malone' and himself) and later The Andy Milonakis Show for MTV2. Kimmel also produced and co-wrote the feature film Windy City Heat, Festival Prize winner of the Comedia Award for Best Film at the 2004 Montreal Comedy Festival.
Jimmy Kimmel Live![edit]

In January 2003, Kimmel permanently left The Man Show to host his own late-night talk show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, on ABC. In the April 2007 issue of Stuffmagazine.com, Kimmel was named the 'biggest badass on TV'. Kimmel said it was an honor but clearly a mistake.
Despite its name, the show has not actually aired live since 2004, when censors were unable to properly bleep censor a barrage of swearing from actor Thomas Jane.[22]
During an incident during the 2004 NBA Finals in Detroit, Kimmel appeared on ABC's halftime show to make an on-air plug for his show. He suggested that if the Detroit Pistons defeated the Los Angeles Lakers, 'they're gonna burn the city of Detroit down ... and it's not worth it.' Officials with Detroit's ABC affiliate, WXYZ-TV, immediately announced that that night's show would not air on the station. Hours later, ABC officials pulled that night's show from the entire network. Kimmel later apologized.[23]
Kimmel usually ends his show with 'My apologies to Matt Damon, we ran out of time.' When Matt Damon did actually appear on the show to be interviewed, he walked in and sat down only to be told just a few seconds later by Kimmel, 'Unfortunately, we are totally out of time,' followed by 'my apologies to Matt Damon.' Damon appeared angry but both performers have since indicated that their faux-feud is a joke.[24]
In February 2008, Kimmel showed a mock music video with a panoply of stars called 'I'm Fucking Ben Affleck',[25] as 'revenge' after his then-girlfriend Sarah Silverman and Damon recorded a similar video titled, 'I'm Fucking Matt Damon'. Silverman's video originally aired on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and became an 'instant YouTube sensation.'[26] Kimmel's 'revenge' video featured himself, Ben Affleck, and a large lineup of stars, particularly in scenes spoofing the 1985 'We Are the World' video: Brad Pitt, Don Cheadle, Cameron Diaz, Robin Williams, Harrison Ford, Dominic Monaghan, Benji Madden and Joel Madden from Good Charlotte, Lance Bass, Macy Gray, Josh Groban, Huey Lewis, Perry Farrell, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Pete Wentz, Meat Loaf, Rebecca Romijn, Christina Applegate, Dom Joly, Mike Shinoda, Lauren Conrad, and Joan Jett, among others.
After this, Kimmel 's sidekick, Guillermo, appeared in a spoof of The Bourne Ultimatum, which starred Damon. He was then chased down by Damon, who was cursing about Kimmel being behind all this. Guillermo also stopped Damon on the red carpet one time and before he could finish the interview he said, 'Sorry, we are out of time.' The most recent encounter was titled 'The Handsome Men's Club' which featured Kimmel, along with the 'Handsome Men', who were: Matthew McConaughey, Rob Lowe, Lenny Kravitz, Patrick Dempsey, Sting, Keith Urban, John Krasinski, Ethan Hawke, Josh Hartnett, Tony Romo, Ted Danson, Taye Diggs, Gilles Marini, and Ben Affleck, speaking about being handsome and all the jobs that come with it. At the end of the skit Kimmel has a door slammed in his face by none other than Matt Damon, stating that they had run out of time and then Damon continues with a sinister laugh. Jennifer Garner also makes a surprise appearance. As a tradition, celebrities voted off Dancing with the Stars appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, causing Kimmel to describe himself as 'the three-headed dog the stars must pass on their way to No-Dancing Hell.'
In October 2013, a new segment of the show, 'Kids Table', showcased five- and six-year-olds discussing the U.S. government shutdown and U.S. debts. When one of the children suggested 'killing all the people in China', as a way of resolving the U.S. debt, Kimmel responded that that was 'an interesting idea' and soon jokingly asked a follow up: 'Should we allow the Chinese to live?'[27] The incident triggered discussions and protests on Internet, even from Mainland China. In an October 25 letter to a group called the 80-20 Initiative, which identifies itself as a pan-Asian-American political organization, ABC apologized for the segment, saying 'We would never purposefully broadcast anything to upset the Chinese community, Asian community, anyone of Chinese descent or any community at large.'[27][28]
More than 100 people took to the streets in San Francisco on October 28 to protest the show and demand 'a more elaborate apology' and that Kimmel be fired.[28] On that day's broadcast, Kimmel addressed the controversy personally, saying: 'I thought it was obvious that I didn't agree with that statement, but apparently it wasn't ... So I just wanted to say, I'm sorry, I apologize.'[29] Despite the apologies from ABC and Kimmel, protests continued. A White House petition was created to investigate this incident and reached the 100,000 signatures needed to require a response from the White House.[30] The Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus denounced the incident and demanded a formal apology from ABC.[31]
Other television work[edit]

In spring 1996, Kimmel appeared as 'Jimmy the Fox Guy' in promos on the Fox Network. His other television work included being the on-air football prognosticator for Fox NFL Sunday for four years. He has had numerous appearances on other talk shows including, but not limited to, Live with Regis and Kelly, The Howard Stern Show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and the Late Show with David Letterman.
He has appeared on The Late Show five times, most recently in 2010. Kimmel served as roastmaster for the New York Friars' Club Roast of Hugh Hefner and Comedy Central Roasts of Pamela Anderson. He has appeared on ABC's Dancing with the Stars.
In August 2006, ABC announced that Jimmy Kimmel would be the host of their new game show Set for Life.[32] The show debuted on July 20, 2007. On April 6, 2007, Kimmel filled in for Larry King on Larry King Live. That particular broadcast dealt with paparazzi. Kimmel reproached Emily Gould, an editor from Gawker.com, about the web site's alleged stalking of celebrities. On July 8, 2007, Kimmel managed the National League in the 2007 Taco Bell All-Star Legends and Celebrity Softball Game in San Francisco. He played in the game in 2004 and 2006 (in Houston and Pittsburgh, respectively). On July 11, 2007, Kimmel, along with basketball player LeBron James, hosted the 2007 ESPY Awards. The show aired on ESPN on July 15, 2007. Kimmel hosted the American Music Awards on ABC five times, in 2003, 2004, 2006, 2007, and 2008.
Kimmel guest hosted Live with Regis and Kelly during the week of October 22–26, 2007, commuting every day between New York and Los Angeles. In the process, he broke the Guinness World Record for the longest distance (22,406 miles (36,059 km)) travelled in one work week.[33]
Kimmel has performed in several animated films, often voicing dogs. His voice appeared in Garfield and Road Trip, and he portrayed Death's Dog in the Family Guy episode 'Mr. Saturday Knight'; Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane later presented Kimmel with a figurine of his character on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Kimmel also did voice work for Robot Chicken. Kimmel's cousin 'Sal' (Sal Iacono) has accepted and won a wrestling match with Santino Marella.
On January 14, 2010, in the midst of the 2010 Tonight Show host and time slot conflict, Kimmel was the special guest of Jay Leno on The Jay Leno Show's '10 at 10' segment. Kimmel derided Leno in front of a live studio audience for taking back the 11:35 pm time slot from Conan O'Brien, and repeatedly insulted Leno. He ended the segment with a plea that Leno 'leave our shows alone,' as Kimmel and O'Brien had 'kids' while Leno only had 'cars.'[34]
He hosted the 64th Primetime Emmy Awards on September 23, 2012, and the 68th Primetime Emmy Awards on September 18, 2016.[35][36] With the Presidential Election only weeks away, Kimmel pointed out the role Mark Burnett played in the rise of Trump.[37]
Kimmel hosted the 89th edition of the Academy Awards ceremony on February 26, 2017.[38] Kimmel returned as host for the 90th edition of the Academy Awards on March 4, 2018.[39]
In June 2018, Kimmel was challenged by U.S. SenatorTed Cruz to a one-on-one basketball game after Kimmel compared Cruz's appearance to that of a blobfish. Kimmel accepted and the game (known as the Blobfish Basketball Classic) was scheduled to take place at Texas Southern University on June 16, with the loser donating $5000 to the non-political charity of the winner's choice.[40] Cruz defeated Kimmel 11–9, and over $80,000 was raised from the game and donated to the charities.[41]
Influences[edit]
David Letterman was Kimmel's biggest inspiration for getting into comedy.[42][43]
Kimmel's biggest influences in comedy are David Letterman and Howard Stern. Kimmel has described Letterman's work as, 'His show was just so weird and different, I'd never seen anything like it. I didn't know anyone who had a sense of humor like that.'[44] Kimmel has often joked that the only reason he got into show business was just so he can be friends with Letterman, he has also questioned why anybody would watch his show instead of Letterman's.[45] Kimmel wrote a piece for Time writing his love for Letterman by saying, 'As I write this, there are only 10 shows left before the funniest, most inventive and smartest man who ever wore an Alka Seltzer suit goes fishing for good. None of us who discovered Dave on our own and claimed him as our own will ever be able to satisfactorily explain to the younger people who didn't what he did, what he meant and what he means. I guess it doesn't matter. It's only an exhibition, not a competition. Thanks Dave. For whatever it's worth, you're my favorite.'[46]
Personal life[edit]
Kimmel married Gina Maddy in 1988; the couple divorced in 2002.[47] They have a daughter, Katherine (born 1991), and a son, Kevin (born 1993).[48][3] He had a relationship with comedian Sarah Silverman from 2002 until they broke up in March 2009.[49]
He started dating Molly McNearney, a co-head writer for Jimmy Kimmel Live, in October 2009.[50] Kimmel and McNearney became engaged in August 2012,[47][51] and married in July 2013.[52] On July 10, 2014, they had their first child, Jane.[53]
Their second child, a son named William ('Billy') John, was born on April 21, 2017.[54] The infant was born with a rare congenital heart defect,[55]tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) with pulmonary atresia,[56][57] which was first detected when he had a purplish appearance at three hours after birth. He underwent successful surgery at three days of age.[58][59] The first guests Kimmel had when his show returned following his son's birth were cardiac surgeon Dr. Mehmet Oz, who explained the condition,[60] and snowboarder Shaun White, who was born with TOF.[61]
Kimmel plays the bass clarinet, and was a guest performer at a July 20, 2008, concert in Costa Mesa, California, featuring The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, performing with the group on the song 'The Impression That I Get'.[62]

'The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face' is a 1957 folk song written by British political singer/songwriter Ewan MacColl for Peggy Seeger, who later became his wife. At the time, the couple were lovers, although MacColl was still married to Joan Littlewood. Seeger sang the song when the duo performed in folk clubs around Britain. During the 1960s, it was recorded by various folk singers and became a major international hit for Roberta Flack in 1972, winning Grammy Awards for Record of the Year[1] and Song of the Year. Billboard ranked it as the number one Hot 100 single of the year for 1972.
History[edit]
There are two differing accounts of the origin of the song. MacColl said that he wrote the song for Seeger after she asked him to pen a song for a play she was in. He wrote the song and taught it to Seeger over the telephone.[2] Seeger said that MacColl, with whom she had begun an affair in 1957, used to send her tapes to listen to whilst they were apart and that the song was on one of them.[3]
The song entered the pop mainstream when it was released by the Kingston Trio on their 1962 hit album New Frontier and in subsequent years by other pop folk groups such as Peter, Paul and Mary, The Brothers Four, and the Chad Mitchell Trio, and by Gordon Lightfoot on his debut album Lightfoot! (1966).
MacColl made no secret of the fact that he disliked all of the cover versions of the song. His daughter-in-law wrote: 'He hated all of them. He had a special section in his record collection for them, entitled 'The Chamber of Horrors'. He said that the Elvis version was like Romeo at the bottom of the Post Office Tower singing up to Juliet. And the other versions, he thought, were travesties: bludgeoning, histrionic, and lacking in grace.'[4]
Roberta Flack version[edit]
Roberta Flack on 'The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face' |
---|
It's a perfect song. Second only to 'Amazing Grace, I think...[5] 'It's the kind of song that has two unique & distinct qualities: it tells a story, & it has lyrics that mean something....Because of [its meaningful lyrics] the [song] can be interpreted by a lot of people in a lot of different ways: the love of a mother for a child, for example, or [that of] two lovers.'[6]'I wish more songs I had chosen had moved me the way that one did. I've loved [most] every song I've recorded, but that one was pretty special.'[5] |
The song was popularised by Roberta Flack in 1972 in a version that became a breakout hit for the singer.
Flack knew the song from the Joe & Eddie version which appeared on that folk duo's 1963 album Coast to Coast (as 'The First Time'), Flack's friend singer Donal Leace having brought the track to Flack's attention.[7] Having taught the song to the young girls in the glee club at Banneker High School (Washington D.C.), Flack would regularly perform 'The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face' in her set-list at the Pennsylvania Avenue club Mr Henry's where Flack was hired as resident singer in 1968. In February 1969 Flack would record the song for her debut album First Take, her rendition of which was much slower paced than Seeger's original, Flack's take running more than twice the two and a half minute length of Seeger's.[citation needed] Flack would recall that while she made her studio recording of 'The First Time...' she felt the loss of her pet cat, Flack having two days earlier returned home to Washington D. C. from Detroit (where she had played her first non-local engagement) to find that her cat had died.[6][8]
Flack's slow and sensual version was used by Clint Eastwood in his 1971 directorial film debut: Play Misty for Me to score a love scene featuring Eastwood and actress Donna Mills. Flack would recall how Eastwood, who had heard her version of 'The First Time...' on his car radio while driving down the LA Freeway,[9] phoned out of the blue to her Alexandria (Virginia) home: (Roberta Flack quote:)'[Eastwood said:] 'I'd like to use your song in this movie...about a disc jockey [with] a lot of music in it. I'd use it in the only part of the movie where there's absolute love.' I said okay. We discussed the money.[Eastwood would pay $2000 to use Flack's 'The First Time...'] He said: 'Anything else?' And I said: 'I want to do it over again. It’s too slow.' He said: 'No, its not.'[10]
Flack in fact has also recalled that during the First Take sessions her producer Joel Dorn had suggested re-recording 'The First Time...' with a slightly speeded tempo and lyric edit to trim its running time but Flack had not then been agreeable: (Roberta Flack quote:)'Joel said: 'Okay you don’t care if it's a hit or not?' I said: 'No sir.' Of course he was right for three years, until [after] Clint got it' - as the attention Flack's 'The First Time...' garnered ensuant to the November 1971 release of Play Misty For Me did persuade Atlantic Records to issue the track as a single - trimmed by a minute - in February 1972: the track became a smash hit single in the United States, reaching No. 1 for six weeks on both the Billboard Hot 100 and easy listening charts in the spring of 1972, with a No. 4 R&B chart peak.[11] Reaching No. 14 on the UK Singles Chart,[citation needed] Flack's 'The First Time...' was No. 1 for three weeks on the singles chart in Canada's RPM magazine.
The song was also played as the wake-up music on flight day 9 to the astronauts aboard Apollo 17, on their last day in Lunar orbit (Friday, 12/15/1972) before returning to earth, thus ending the first manned explorations of the Moon. The use of the song was most likely a reference to the 'face' of the moon below the spacecraft.[12]
In 2014, two films featured the song: Flack's version was heard twice in the superhero film X-Men: Days of Future Past, set largely in 1973, while a 'cover' of it was performed by one of the protagonists in The Inbetweeners 2 for comic effect.[13]
Flack's version was used as the outro in episode 88 of the television series Mad Men in 2015; in 2016 the same version was featured in the finale episode of the HBO series The Night Of and played in the background of Episode 3 of the FX Cable TV Miniseries The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story.
A version by UNKLE is played over the closing credits of the 2014 film Shelter.
