31 Jimmy Kimmel Innovations

In a sea of late night talk shows, a few stand above the rest; Jimmy Kimmel Live is one of those shows. Jimmy Kimmel brings a different feel to the late-night talk show arena by using crude humor, strange pranks and almost thoughtless banter to incite laughs.

Ford took it in stride and stood by his guns and all-in-all it wasn't as big of a meltdown as it could have been.
