"Jimmy Kimmel Live: After the Academy Awards"(R) will be broadcast LIVE from the El Capitan Entertainment Center in Hollywood on SUNDAY, MARCH 7, immediately following late local news (12:05-1:05 a.m., ET, approx). Previous "Jimmy Kimmel Live: After the Academy Awards" celebrations have welcomed Hollywood's biggest movie stars, including two-time Academy Award(R) winner Mel Gibson, Emmy Award(R) winners Jon Stewart and Ellen Degeneres, as well as Academy Award winner Ben Affleck, who starred in Kimmel's viral sensation "I'm F***ing Ben Affleck" as a rebuttal to the Emmy-winning "I'm F*** Matt Damon" video featuring Sarah Silverman and Matt Damon. Viewers of the 2009 Academy Awards telecast also caught a very special 30-second promo for Kimmel's nightly show featuring the host as he rescued Tom Cruise from a burning home. "Jimmy Kimmel Live: After the Academy Awards" then aired an extended behind-the-scenes making of the promo, featuring bonus footage and interviews with the duo.
