Before they gave the precious gift of life to their ungrateful children, our moms were regular people with lives of their own. They had careers, ambitions, talents, dope, naked mud wrestling matches, and tons of casual sex with workers of all stripes. Especially plumbers, for some reason.

Was anyone truly surprised that racist L.A. Clippers owner Donald Sterling would make bigoted remarks on tape? Jimmy Kimmel went down to L.A.'s Legends Barbershop to get a haircut and find out.

People's Most Beautiful Person of 2014 is Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o, unfortunately for news anchors around the U.S., who have no idea how to pronounce her last name. Jimmy Kimmel didn't even need to trick anyone to get this montage of stuttering local newsreaders.

Drake the type to put on a disguise and interview people about himself.

Jimmy Kimmel pulled a Jimmy Kimmel on hipster South by Southwest Music Festival attendees, sending a reporter out to ask them what they thought about some really obscure bands you probably haven't heard of. Because they don't exist.

Spring is in the air! But hybrid parrot-pigeons like those featured on Gothamist this week are not. Neither are these horrible bikinis, or a machine that turns water into wine. What is in the air—and on the internet—is bullshit.

For Jimmy Kimmel's post-Oscar meme-as-Hollywood-movie-trailers gag, Joseph Gordon-Levitt was assigned the role of David After Dentist. Unbeknownst to Kimmel and his staff, Gordon-Levitt memorized the entire viral video, including every line and every gesture.

In a surreal moment of television and civilization as we know it, Toronto mayor Rob Ford withstood three full segments of Jimmy Kimmel's abuse as a guest on tonight's Jimmy Kimmel Live.

Rob Ford is scheduled to appear on tonight’s Jimmy Kimmel Live—not that Ford would know when “tonight” is, exactly. In a gag skit mocking Ford’s habit of not being aware of reality, the embattled Toronto mayor appeared a day early on Kimmel’s show, bursting through a pair of double doors, Kool-Aid Man-style, after Kimmel teased Ford’s Monday segment.

Jimmy Kimmel exhumed the corpses of the YouTube memes of yesteryear and extracted the last sliver of comedy from their bones by reimagining them as big-budget movie trailers.

Rob Ford is more celebrity than mayor at this point, which seems just fine by him. This weekend, Toronto's most famous ex-crackhead will hit Los Angeles for a few of his most high-profile appearances ever: the Academy Awards and Jimmy Kimmel Live!.

Despite occasional lapses in honesty, "Celebrities Read Mean Tweets" continues to be one of Jimmy Kimmel's most successful segments. But one thing has always been missing from the popular bit: Politicians.

While practically the entire country was doing its damnedest not to freeze to death, beach-goers in Los Angeles were walking around shirtless.

With all eyes trained on unstable world leaders with worrisome caches of unconventional weapons, no one noticed when the meaningless words of an ignorant child inadvertently sparked the Third World War.

Boy wonder Arden Hayes last appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! back in July, when he wowed both Jimmy and America writ large with his precocious presidential knowledge.

Who doesn't love making kids scream (and maybe cry a little) on Halloween? In Jimmy Kimmel's third annual exercise in being mean to small humans, children everywhere were told all their trick-or-treating loot had been consumed by their parents—who taped the reactions and uploaded them to YouTube. The responses range from a heartfelt "I hate you!" to, well, more of the same. Admit it. You'd react the same way.

A Jimmy Kimmel Live! skit in which a child suggests that the government should "kill everyone in China" in order to resolve its debt crisis has sparked outrage and forced ABC to censor the clip and issue an apology.
