About this listen

Episode 1 explores Jimmy Kimmel's origins from his 1967 Brooklyn birth through his formative years in Las Vegas. The episode traces his evolution from class clown to college dropout, then his breakthrough as a radio intern in Seattle. Working on the "Kevin & Bean" show, Kimmel honed his comedic timing and improvisational skills while building crucial industry relationships. The narrative follows his partnership with Adam Carolla and their creation of "The Man Show" on Comedy Central, which became a cultural phenomenon and launching pad for Kimmel's television career. The episode concludes with ABC's risky decision to bet on this unconventional choice for late-night hosting.
