''Jimmy Kimmel Live!'' is an American late-night talk show, created and hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, and transmitted on ABC. The nightly hour-long show made its debut on January 26, 2003, as the first program to air immediately following ABC's coverage of Super Bowl XXXVII. ''Jimmy Kimmel Live!'' is produced by Jackhole Productions in association with ABC Studios. Having aired for more than twice as long as either the ''The Dick Cavett Show'' (1969–1975) or ''Politically Incorrect'' (1997–2002), it is the longest running late-night talk show in ABC's history at years and counting as of . For its first ten years, the show aired at the either the Midnight or 12:05 AM timeslot before moving to 11:35 pm ET beginning on January 8, 2013 to more directly compete with ''The Tonight Show with Jay Leno'' and ''Late Show with David Letterman'' while bumping the ABC nightly news program ''Nightline'' to 12:35 am ET.〔(It’s Jimmy Kimmel vs. Leno and Letterman in January; ABC moves ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ to 11:35, ‘Nightline’ to 12:35 ), ''The Washington Post,'' August 21, 2012.〕 Following the subsequent retirements of Leno in February 2014 and Letterman in May 2015, Kimmel is now the longest serving host in network late-night television.〔(Jimmy Kimmel Signs On for 2 More Years with ABC ), retrieved May 24, 2015〕 Contrary to its name, ''Jimmy Kimmel Live!'' does not air live; instead, it is taped at 4:30 pm Pacific Time on the day of broadcast. On rare occasions, though, it airs a special live edition, usually after major events like the Academy Awards ceremonies and 4-7 special half-hour episodes under the title ''Jimmy Kimmel Game Night'' airing in primetime that lead into ABC's coverage of the NBA Finals in June each year. Until 2009, new episodes aired five nights a week; from 2009 to 2012, the Friday episode was a rebroadcast of a recent episode. Starting with the January 2013 move, the Friday episode had been retitled ''Jimmy Kimmel Live! This Week,'' which showed highlights from the entire week of shows. However, the show has since reverted to airing a rebroadcast of a recent episode on Fridays. On April 14, 2009 after the March sweeps break, the show began broadcasting in 720p high definition. However, ABC stations that air the show on tape delay due to local programming and do not have the capability to air tape-delayed network programming in HD, air the show in 480i standard definition. ==History== The show began on January 26, 2003, replacing ''Politically Incorrect;'' ABC had originally intended to give Jon Stewart his own late-night program following ''Nightline,'' but Kimmel was chosen instead. The show fell behind the ratings of ''Late Show with David Letterman,'' ''The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,'' ''Late Night with Conan O'Brien,'' and ''The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn,'' but gradually moved up in the ratings into 2004, and became a fairly strong competitor, capturing about half the audience of ''The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.'' ''Jimmy Kimmel Live!'' is ABC's first attempt at a traditional late-night talk show since its attempt to revive ''The Dick Cavett Show'' in the 1980s. ABC had earlier attempted to directly compete with NBC's ''Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson'' in the 1960s and 1970s with ''The Les Crane Show'', which was more of a serious interview program than light entertainment, ''The Joey Bishop Show'' (1967-1969), featuring Rat Pack member Joey Bishop with Regis Philbin as sidekick, the original ''Dick Cavett Show'' (1969-1975) with Dick Cavett in a show that featured a mixture of cultural, popular entertainment and intellectual figures and was considered more highbrow than Carson and even a short-lived revival of NBC's ''Tonight Starring Jack Paar'' under the name ''Jack Paar Tonite'', which alternated weeks with Cavett in 1973. While Cavett was the longest-lasting and best remembered of these attempts, none seriously threatened the domination of the ''Tonight Show''. ABC's long-running ''Nightline'' series which premiered in 1979 during the Iran hostage crisis and continued at 11:30 until 2013 was able to compete with the ''Tonight Show'', however, particularly on days when there were major news events or ongoing crises. The growth and development of cable news and the emergence of the internet and the 24-hour news cycle eroded ''Nightline''s originally unique, and later preeminent position as a source for late evening national and international news and its value as a counterprogramming against ''Tonight'' and other late-night talk shows. As a result, in 2012, ''Nightline'' switched places on ABC's schedule with its previous lead-in, ''Jimmy Kimmel Live!''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jimmy Kimmel Live!」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
