Celebrity Scoop - Jimmy Kimmel's Emotional Tribute

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Movies, music, and all the gossip in one place.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
It's the celebrities gooop on Star one oh five point seven.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
Well, it was a very emotional night last night for
Jimmy Kimmel, opening up his episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live
with a heartfelt tribute to his childhood friend and late
night band leader Kleito Escabido, the third passing away yesterday
at the age of only fifty nine, Kimmel saying they'd
been on the air for almost twenty three years and

(00:28):
he's had some hard monologues along the way, but last
night's was the hardest of his career. Listen to how
emotional he got talking about someone he'd been friends with
since he was nine.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
Best thing about doing this show was getting the opportunity
to allow Cleito Senior to pick up where he left
off in nineteen sixty six and become a musician again
with his son and his wife, Sylvia. Klito's mom have
been my second parents since I was in the fourth grade.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
I've known him.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
These people have never once yelled at me, not one time.
They are the best people. Sylvia comes to work here
every day, sits in that seat despite the fact that
she does not work here. She does not have a
job here. She comes and stays all day to be
near her husband and son. She's working those rosary beads
in the audience every night.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
Isn't that so sweet? Kimmel does plan to remain on
the air this week. It is eighties themed week. We've
already seen Eddie Murphy and Morgan Fairchild Men at Work
will also be featured. Chris Jenner and Kim Kardashian allegedly
deleting birthday pictures they took with Prince Harry and Megan
Markle started a lot of rumor about what may have

(01:40):
happened there, not that big of a deal. Turns out
several pictures were deleted, not just those of the semi
royal couple. It was Remembrance Sunday in the UK, a
day meant to commemorate servicemen and women, and so the
Duke and Duchess of Sussex, yes that's what they are,
felt it might be better to Delito's pictures rather than

(02:01):
push some kind of narrative that could be misunderstood across
the pond. Remember, Harry did show up wearing a poppy
in honor of the holiday. For the party, So no
major beef, none at all. Finally, I think this will
be really interesting to see. Sabrina Carpenter is headed down
the rabbit hole. She is said to star and produce
in an upcoming movie based on Alice in Wonderland. She's

(02:24):
going to be singing in part of this too, the musical.
This will be her first major studio movie and it
is going to be a musical from Universal Pictures. Has
a lot of the people already set, producers, directors. You've
seen Sabrina obviously with her huge album, but she said
this is going to be the next big move in
her career. No word on a release date or if

(02:46):
there's going to be anything different about the plot, but
Sabrina Carpenter is your next to Alice in Wonderland. Curious
if that's going to be making it to Disney Plus's
Universal movie or if this is going to be like
an adult Alice in Wonderland. I've got all the details
