Jimmy Kimmel: Making late night a family affair | Fresh Air (2013 interview)

In light of comedian Jimmy Kimmel hosting this year's Academy Awards, we're revisiting his "Fresh Air" interview from 2013. In the episode, he talks about setting up camp in the 11:35 p.m. slot, which put him head-to-head with Jay Leno and Kimmel's idol, David Letterman. The late-night talk-show host put a personal mark on his show by bringing in his family to help him make it happen.
This interview originally aired January 23, 2013.
