HOLLYWOOD (CNS) - Jimmy Kimmel received the 2,489th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today, one day before the 10th anniversary of the premiere of his ABC late-night talk show, "Jimmy Kimmel Live."
NBC late-night talk show host Carson Daly, who interned for Kimmel at a Palm Springs radio station, and City Councilman Eric Garcetti, joined Kimmel at the ceremony in front of the El Capitan Theater on Hollywood Boulevard, where his show is taped.
Born in Brooklyn, N.Y., on Nov. 13, 1967, and raised in Las Vegas, Kimmel began working in radio in 1984 when he was still in high school, hosting a Sunday night interview show on the University of Nevada Las Vegas' station, KUNV-FM.
Kimmel attended UNLV for one year and Arizona State for two years, before dropping out to become a co-host of a morning radio show on KZOK-FM in Seattle. He later worked at stations in Tampa, Fla. and Palm Springs, before becoming the sportscaster on the "Kevin and Bean" show on KROQ-FM (106.7).
Kimmel began his television career in 1997 as co-host of the Comedy Central game show "Win Ben Stein's Money," sharing the Daytime Emmy Award for outstanding game show host with Stein in 1999.
Kimmel also co-hosted Comedy Central's "The Man Show," spent four years as a prognosticator on "Fox NFL Sunday," and co-created Comedy Central's "Crank Yankers" and MTV2's "The Andy Milonakis Show."
The ceremony cames 17 days after "Jimmy Kimmel Live" was shifted to 11:35 p.m., after airing at midnight since its debut. It now starts at the same time as NBC's "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" and CBS' "Late Show with David Letterman."

Certain projects, such as adding a well thought-out family room can be a wise investment, as they do add to the value of the home. Other projects, however, allow little opportunity to recover the costs when it's time to sell.
